Web library beta: Show collection items if no subcollections
Love the new web library beta.
I noticed that if I select a collection, I am first shown a screen that lists “Items” and any subcollections. (This is on mobile if that makes a difference). This makes some sense if there are subcollections, but it is a little odd and annoying to have to tap through an extra screen to get to the items if there aren’t subcollections. Could this screen be bypassed, or even the items and subcollections be merged into one view (that would be most intuitive to me—ala folders and items in a file system).
Relatedly, can the recursive collections view option be added?

We're aware that this extra step is not ideal, however there are some technical hurdles to overcome before we can remove it. This is being tracked for future release:
