folder view of files in subdirectories in a flat layout in ext4
Is it possible to create a folder in ext4 that acts like a view listing files in subdirectories of a folder in a flat layout?
Background: I use a DLNA app (BubbleUPnP on the Android phone) to play slideshows to the TV of photo albums hosted on my Fedora file server through minidlna. Minidlna shows the directories of photos laid out in albums. Slideshow of each album needs to be started individually - per directory. It would be nice to be able to create views spanning multiple album directories.
If it was possible to create a folder that acted as a view - all files in the photos directory and subdirectories showing up as a list, the DLNA app could play the slideshow of all photos in a single step rather than have to play each album individually.
Say views like:
The directory /path/to/all/ shows all files in
/home/Pictures AND files in its subdirectories (recursively) AND
/home/Photos AND files in its subdirectories (recursively)
Any app would then see /path/to/all containing all the files contained in various different directories as if they exist in a single directory i.e. /path/to/all
Can this be done in any way?
