Folders without txt files are hidden

[p.samim]

Zim 0.58 portable on Windows 7

Hi,
Folders that do not contain txt files or do not have zim text files associated with them, are kind of hidden and do not show up in the index. I do not know if it is a bug or not, but it would be a nice feature for Zim to show all folders (at least optional), so Zim will act like a file explorer a little more.

Thanks

Currently these "zim-less" folders appear in the index with an italic font but disapper on leaving the focus.
As I would also like to have this "feature" I investigated the code and found that _cleanup() in index.py is responsible for removing these folders:

- if not (path.hascontent or path.haschildren) \
- and self.n_list_links(path, direction=LINK_DIR_BACKWARD) == 0:
- self._delete(path)
- self._cleanup(path.parent) # recurs

I deleted these lines and it is working for me now but I do not know tje side effects provoked by these changes.

Side effect is that visiting a non-existing page will leave that page in
the index permanently.

Currently investigating rework of the index code, will take this one along.

Decided that page view should follow pages, not folder structure. To make a folder show up ensure that the like named page exists.
