its possible to show subfolders via favShowFiles=true flag in xnview.ini
however, it is inconvenient and naming is confusing


Suggestion A

• fix flag name, either:
  - rename it to favShowSubfolders OR
  - add new favShowSubfolders flag and ingnore old one

Suggestion B

• add GUI settings to change this flag, via
  • new group in Settings OR
  • (preferable) new item in context menu on empty space
    

Suggestion C

• add "Sort by name" to the same context menu (same as in XnView Classic)
