VAM Plugin: "All Flattened" display v1.1
🕑 Added 2022-08-05 18:28:38 +0000 UTCA small plugin that automatically flattens the directories, so that all available items are displayed together, whenever the File-Open-Dialog appears, e.g. for Scenes, Clothing or Hair items.
The "Favoritoes Only" option is also checked by default.
Note: using this plugin can impact performance and can cause a small delay when the File-Open-Dialog appears, especially if there are a lot of items to be displayed and you have a lot of scenes / clothing / hair files downloaded in VAM.

Extract the .zip file into the VaM directory. After that you should have the "AllFlattenedFirst.dll" file in the BepInEx \ plugins directory. It will work automatically, not setup is needed and it will basically press the "All flattened" button for you every time you open up a file dialog.
