Condensed folder picker #283

Closed kirillt closed 1 year ago

kirillt commented 2 years ago

In some of bulk operations, like copying, we need to select a destination folder. For this, we present folder picker to the user, which contains all top-level folders on the device. We should provide user with clutter-free experience, which means only folders with his own data are displayed. We assume that if user uses ARK Navigator, then they added all of their data into it :)

So, we need separate kind of folder picker which displays only root and favorite folders. Essentially such a picker would repeat structure of Folders screen. It would be pragmatic to have possibility to expand condensed folder picker into normal one allowing the user to move the resources wherever they want.

Development of this idea would be separating Folders screen into dedicated app/service, keeping all known .ark folders and providing folder picker with data about user's content folders.
