Hi @TomW1605. I'm happy to inform you that this bug is fixed: #1144

That fix was made after the release of the 2.0.0-rc8 version of the IDE you are using. It is available from the nightly build. The download links are listed here:

https://www.arduino.cc/en/software#nightly-builds

In the future, please make sure to test using the nightly build before submitting an issue in order to verify that it was not already fixed.

thanks.
some addiditonal info, if there are more sketches in "Project" they will show up at the same level as the sketches in subfolders.

This issue still exists in the 2.0 linux release.
IMO, the title of this issue is still a bit vague - at least to me.
i.e. it inst' that the menu only goes 1 directory deep, it is that it hides all the directories from the menu beyond the top level.

I would add that this issue does not exist in the folder/sketchbook view.
i.e. when you click on the folder icon to get the sketchbook view all the intermediate directories/sub-directories show up properly.
Not sure how these are implemented, but I would think they would be sharing some of the same code to make sure that they are handled the same way.

i agree the title is a bit vauge but i wouldent say it hides all the directories beyond the top level, that implies that only the sketches in the top folder are shown, when it is actualy just shuving all the sketches to the top. not sure what a better title would be though.

[bperrybap]

I agree that getting a title for the issue that is not too long is difficult.
I guess the wording I used is ambiguous given the readers assumptions.
I was assuming just what it said, it hides all the directories from the menu, not that it hides the sketches from the menu.

Same problem here with 2.0.1 release on windows
only through the "File->Sketchbook" menu, the side pane "Sketchbook" work as expected
displaying:

sketchbook/
├──project1/
│  └── version1A
│  └── version1B
│  └── version2A
│  └── version2B

instead of:

sketchbook/
├──project1/
│  └── CodeA/
│      └── version1A
│      └── version2A
│  └── CodeB/
│      └── version1B
│      └── version2B

seems to have been "solve" with the merge #198 but maybe only for the example sub menu

This is still not working as of right now (Arduino IDE 2.0.3-nightly-20221227). I have a "test" subdirectory that should appear as a sub-menu. Instead, all of the sketches in the subdirectory are "flattened" into the "sketches" menu. See attached screenshot.
