How To Create In A Parent Directory When group_empty

[przepompownia]

Reproduction:

• set group_empty = true
• Given that /tmp/x does not exist yet, run mkdir -p /tmp/x/y in shell.
• in neovim run :NvimTreeOpen /tmp and go to x node and expand it to see x/y
• with default mappings press a to create new node.

Currently I get x selected as a relative dir. I cannot get selected y instead.

What do you think about selecting relative directory by the cursor position?

I also did not found any function to switch such groupping.

See :help nvim-tree.create_in_closed_folder.

In the above test, the a directory is /tmp/x/y.

If you'd like to a in /tmp/x simply remove the /y.

Indeed, after switching on create_in_closed_folder this behavior changes to closer to the described above. Thanks again!

Hm, I can't see any widget to mark your comment as the answer (after looking to https://docs.github.com/en/discussions/managing-discussions-for-your-community/moderating-discussions)...

Ah... this was an idea. Changed the topic and moved to Q&A.
