Obsidion outline subfolders feature request

feature request

obsidion outlining of subfolders and files
=> option to align subfolders starting at the folder “collapse/expand” symbol position , not at the folder name position

  • obsidion prefixes in its tree views a all folders with the icons ▸ (collapsed) or ▾ (expanded)
  • subfolders are alligned with the files in that folder starting at the folder name

the weird thing , something it acts like this , sometime not.
his can be confusing , especially if there are several sublevels

existing situation :
vault
▸ folder 1
▾ folder 2
▸ subfolder 2-1
▾ subfolder 2-2
▸ subfolder 2-2-1
file 3
file 4
file 2
▸ folder 3
file 1

I find it very hard to “see” for instance if file 2 is a located in subfolder 2-2 or rather in folder 2
with the asked option , this would render :
vault
▸ folder 1
▾ folder 2
▸ subfolder 2-1
▾ subfolder 2-2
▸ subfolder 2-2-1
file 3
file 4
file 2
▸ folder 3
file 1

Which I find a bit more logical and certainly more clear.

And while we are at it, what about an second option to set number of preceding “indent” spaces :
vault
▸ folder 1
▾ folder 2
▸ subfolder 2-1
▾ subfolder 2-2
▸ subfolder 2-2-1
file 3
file 4
file 2
▸ folder 3
file 1

Also, wünderbar, nicht ?
I suspect Python might agree with me.
I know screen real estate is limitted, as designed is probarly all for the best.
But hey, how about letting users decide ?
