Anyone know if it's possible to stop IntelliJ/Cursive stop eliding levels of nested folders, e.g. I don't want it to collapse "tools>utils>map" into a single level "tools.utils.map"?

i'm hunting through the many options but have no idea really what i am looking for

check your project panel settings :

that flatten packages is the one

hmm if the screenshot didn’t post , it’s “Flatten Packages” in your project view settings
