What does SHCONTF_FLATLIST actually mean in Shell folder enumeration?

24 views Asked by At

The documentation is vague, at least: "Enumerate items as a simple list even if the folder itself is not structured in that way." Ok, and what is this supposed to mean? Is it a synonym of "recursively"? If I have a folder with subfolders, should I list all children on all levels as if my main folder contained them directly? That's not how Shell works, as it seems - if I do the above in a shell namespace extension, the Shell displays all items that the extension has returned. Obviously, the flag is intended to do something different – but what?
