Could you add a "Hide container" menu, please

[ppass]

A very small feature request: when right clicking on a file in the list, could you add a context menu entry "Hide container" to hide the folder holding the file? Because I want to do this often and often cannot spot the file in the treemap, because it is too small, so I cannot easily hide its folder.

This is relatively easy to implement; but do you think anyone else is likely to be wanting it, though? I don't want to a feature that only one person is likely to use. If you can get a few more people to say, "Yes, I want that," then I'll be happy to add it

I do not know if others will request this, but I will explain why this matters to me.

I sometimes use SpaceMonger trying to find a file on my PC. For example, I know it is an xls file, was created 1-2 years ago and have no clue in which folder it is. I can not even remember its name... like finding a needle in a haystack.

So I make a scan of my whole drive, hide some big folders where I have no chance to find the file, and make a search on *.xls.
Then I play with the file list, sorting on file name, date, etc. Going through the list, I discover other folders to hide. I try to hide as many folders as possible until I find my file.

So that is why I need this function "Hide container folder".

Maybe am I asking too much to SpaceMonger, and other programs are a better fit for this kind of usage. But SpaceMonger is so nice and flexible that I tend to ask it to do as many things as possible.

It's a valid argument. I'll consider adding this feature into v2.2.
