Description of the Issue
Hi, when there are files in multiple folders, you have to open each folder and then the file(s) and access them, which is time-consuming.
Describe the solution you'd like.
It should be possible to open all files within a selected folder (or multiple folders) by right-clicking on it. Additionally, the settings should allow for adding, removing, or editing the file formats processed using this method.
