Menu change: Command > Branch View... (*Flattened* Subdirs)
Proposed Wording:
MENUITEM "Br&anch View (Flattened Subdirs)\tCtrl+B", 2026
Current Wording:
MENUITEM "Br&anch View (With Subdirs)\tCtrl+B", 2026
Reason: Flattening a tree suggests removing its nested structure (think flat organisation, etc.). Changing 'With' to 'Flattened' makes the behaviour of the function more apparent.
In my case, I did not explore this functionality until recently, as there was nothing in the name to suggest it might be useful.
However, the functionality it provides can in certain circumstances be enormously useful, and the hope is that by a minor but significant name change, it is more likely to be tried.
