make cascading dirs more compact

Render cascading dirs on one line i.e.

    > foo/bar/baz
      file1

instead of

    > foo
      > bar
        > baz
          > file1

This should be useful things like java projects that have deep dir
structures.

Remove the old UI view (pre the dir arrows) as this simply isnt worth
supporting for a proof of concept. This may get added back - or not.
