Recent reviews
The extension works well. I have a question though: if I choose a folder with more folders inside, does the extension recursively and randomly open folders? Or does it compile all the results in a list and then choose from there? Folder A > Folder B > Result A > Result B > Result C > Result D In other words, if I chose "Folder A", would my chances of "Result A" be 1/6 or 1/4?
