It is possible to hide empty and orphan folders.
Folders can be empty because they don't contain any files on disk or because all files/folders inside them are filtered.
Orphan folders are present only on one side (left or right).
When a filter finds matches the elements are not visible, but if it's necessary to show them you can click on the Filtered button.
Default filters can be changed or totally deleted from Session Preferences window.
Some files are excluded by default; the complete list is shown below.
