I need to have two options:
1. Filter by .desktop file field
2. Flatten folders.

Use cases:
1. Create desktop directory, where I store all games (from menu and desktop)
2. Create special desktop directory, which display each video/music from home directory
3. etc.

Solution:
Add Flatten folder option. In this case, FolderView Plasmoid will go inside each directory until some depth is achieved and display file inside root level. To disallow name clashing, prepend each name with relative path of both item, where name clashing occur.

For example:
GameA
Strategy/Savage2
Action/Savage2
GameB
Strategy/My favorite game
Action/My favorite game

Maybe adds additional option to compare files and remove duplicates? Keep in mind Savage2 are the same games, but in two places of menu.

Use case 2:
I have some documents and split it into subdirectories, but I need to search it alphabetically without moving between directories, so I create all documents FolderView, which Flatten contents of root of documents.
