  I don't see Tree View as an option. So the short answer, AFAICT, is it isn't possible. If you know of a file manager you like that provides the feature, just install and use it.

  @guiverc as you point out, Dolphin, even on 18.04, does what you say. The only issue is that it pulls in "baloo"-related packages and I don't know what the effect on that will be in Lubuntu 18.10. Maybe you can ask in IRC?

  @DKBose I booted a Lubuntu 18.10 box, and dolphin was already installed [a QA-test box, I forget why I installed it, but it's a i686 lower-powered box and is fine]. It had the Control->Panels->Folders I'd mentioned earlier too.

The image shows how to switch to Tree View.

Note that Thunar is a gtk application and nicely obeys the Blackbird theme of light text on a dark background as described here.

By default it didn't show as you wanted, but select

Control -> Panels -> Folders

to have folders show in a tree like fashion on the left panel.

The following picture was from my 19.04 box, but it responded identically on the 18.10 QA-test box (x86/i686) besides me I just tested it on.

there may be other alternatives, and which is best for you is your choice. Sorry I couldn't get it to view on my play with pcmanfm-qt

Install with sudo apt install dolphin
