VS Code not showing subfolders when there is only one [duplicate]

Question

My VS Code is not showing the sub folders when there is only one folder, it only shows when there is 2 or more. I attached a screenshot to show an example. I would like to make it show all the folders. I have been looking for how to make it go back to showing all the folders but could not find how.

If I add more folders it goes back to normal. I would to make it show the Search folder even if it is the only folder inside Input.

Answer 1

For anyone with the same issue, I figured out how to disable this. You need to look up explorer.compactFolders in File > Preference > Settings and disable it.

Answer 2

That's explained in November 2019 (version 1.41) release notes. The feature is called Compact folders in Explorer:

In the File Explorer, we now render single child folders in a compact form. In such a form, single child folders will be compressed in a combined tree element. Useful for Java package structures, for example.

Setting explorer.compactFolders controls this behavior. By default, this setting is turned on.
