Is there an official name for the file view of Everything?

Post by Stamimail »

For a hierarchical view I can use the names TreeView and ExplorerView
Is there an official name for the All-Content-of-Folder Non-Hierarchical view like of Everything?

I think it's not something unique just for Folders and Files management, but for any view of things, as you want to view items by categories and subs or all as a list.

AFAIK this is called List-View. (but I'm not very good at Microsoft-terminology ..)

I'm looking for a terminology you can understand the contrast
Hierarchical <> Non-Hierarchical
Categorized <> Non-Categorized

Sounds good :). The question is whether this term is being (or will be) used in the wide world, in other programs/websites etc.

What about Index View?
(Inspired by the Index tab of a .chm file - HelpFile)
