Add option to show folders above files in file view #241

Closed markwmuller closed 1 year ago

markwmuller commented 1 year ago

The file editor, when opening a file, shows all files/folders in the current directory simply alphabetically sorted. This always confuses me, and makes it hard for me to find what I'm looking for. It would be nice to have a setting that can force it to sort folders first, or sort everything equally.

For example, Ubuntu's Nautilus has the option "Sort Folders Before Files".

That's already possible. The option for the standalone version is documented here: https://github.com/danielperna84/hass-configurator/wiki/Configuration#dirsfirst-bool

When using the Add-on, it's a single click:

dirsfirst

Perfect, thanks for helping me find it! Is there a reason the setting is not with others (such as the keyboard VIM mode)?

Could there be a little hint that there are more settings elsewhere? In case I'm not the only person who didn't think of the add-on configuration settings.

Anyway, thanks for explaining!

Because it's a Server setting. It's the backend that controls how it's returning the list of elements. The settings you are talking about are mostly specific the editor itself.

As you are the first one asking the question I think that's not necessary.
