Reduce Display Folder Hierarchy

Is there a way to reduce the amount of space used by the display of the folder hierarchy in the navigation panel? I have used a fairly deep structure that suits my needs and sometimes it is difficult to use the hierarchy without resizing the panel then resizing it back when I have found what I am looking for.

Example

Macintish HD
Users
flappleton
Sync
My Photographs
lr-appleton-images
2010s
2010
2011
2011 02 Panama Canal

etcetera

I would like to start the display at My Photographs

MAC Version

  In the Library tool, you can select Show/Hide Folders Hierarchy. Click on the 3 dots top right in the tool.

  Although this solution is not very flexible (it is all or nothing) it does reduce the display space of the folder hierarchy and will be useful. Thank you.

  I have to say this is the one feature (lacking) that is holding me up from buying C1P. I also store all my photos in a folder tree and to have to navigate down to my chosen root folder every time is cumbersome. If there was some way to define a root folder and dont show any hierarchy above that root, that woudl save display space and time. This is what I had in LIghtroom and boy would I love to get away from LR 😊 .

  Agreed it would be helpful - be sure to put in a support request to suggest that as an enhancement. I cannot say it gives me much grief I only have to drill down a few layers to get to my image folders but if I had a deeper hierarchy before getting to the good stuff I might feel differently.
