Hi,
I have a scrap pane that contains a lot of folders and I want to flatten it so I can exclude files and subdirectories but I can't seem to do it.
Is it possible?
If not can anyone recommend a way to achieve what I want?

as things stand, once in a scrap window you can't flatten more than one folder at a time. A workaround is to turn on the dual pane mode in that scrap window (Ctrl+O), press alt+enter on each folder to flatten it to the inactive pane, then drag-drop the contents in another scrap window
another possibility would be to grab all folder names with Alt+C, use some editor to convert them to a comma-separated list, then do a mock search command for all files in these folders, pasting all the comma-separated list to the Look in field. With no other rules or criteria everything will be matched. This seems to be easier!

Since I am going to be doing this a lot I think the easiest solution would be for me to write an app that takes your CIDA file, flattens it and write out another CIDA file.
Does your CIDA file contain anything "funny" compared to the standard CIDA structure (e.g. I see a 4 byte CIDA string at the beginning)?
