Display file statistics in the directory content #204

Closed DropSnorz closed 4 months ago

The plugin list in the directory view is confusing.

Since OwlPlug 1.24, a chart displays the largest files in a directory. But the list still displays plugins recursively (including plugins nested in subdirectories). This "nested plugin" view is interesting because it shows the discoverable plugins if the current directory is configured as a plugin source for a DAW.

Instead of displaying nested plugins, we can display a complete list of files with computed size to be aligned with the chart. This would allow us to have a full view of space consumption for a directory. In the chart, things can be hidden in the "Other" file group if there are more than 8 files.

Or we can have a toggle to switch between both lists: the "nested plugin" view and the directory content file view.

Added a new tab "Files" containing details about subfile space usage.
