[Feature Request] Enhanced Folder Content Information #99

Open nemumaru opened 1 year ago

nemumaru commented 1 year ago

This is a feature I would love to see both on the mobile phone app and in the webdrive. If I am supposed to crosspost it to the filen-mobile repo, let me know. Until then I won't do it to not clutter the issues.

Feature description: When opening the context menu of a folder (webdrive: rightclick, mobile: touch-hold the folder or touch the three dots next to it) the user has the option to hit "preferences" to see in depths information about the folder and it's content. For example the user can see how many total sub- and subsubfolders there are and how many files these folders hold in total.

Made up usecase: The user got a folder called "PhotosLocal" with dozens of subfolders that their photos are categorized and sorted in. The user also got their backup "PhotosFilen" in Filen, it is a 1:1 copy of PhotosLocal. The user is not sure if they need to update the backup. Before investing too much time on checking every single folder for it's content. The user could rightclick on PhotosFilen->Properties->See that there are 42 subfolders and 42.000 images. The user could now do the same on their local system to see if there are the same number of folders and images and if it is worth to invest more time comparing.

I know that this is nothing finetuned like an overview of "files changed" or something like that, but it would save some time.

Good suggestion, will consider adding it in the next update.
