File list sorting #25

Open Stretto opened 4 years ago

Stretto commented 4 years ago

It would be very nice and simple to add a sort feature for files. E.g., date created, date modified, size, etc...

Also, when going to favorites from the folders is a click on the heart but going from the favorites one has to go all the way to the bottom to get to the folders. This is kinda annoying. Just add a simple icon for folders on the favorites(ideally where the heart button would be so it acts as a sort of toggle).

Also, ability to go to the folder of a favorites item so one can backtrack. Right mouse on item -> Go to Folder

And the ability to add an open file to the favorites easily(e.g., RMB on tab and select add to favorite(...)).

Hi @Stretto Thanks for the suggestion! : )

There is something I want to confirm. Is the sort feature request an improvement on Favorites ?

I'm planning to add the following features in the next version. Please let me know if it is different from your idea.

Best Regards.

Thanks. I had to resinstall it manually because of notepad++ weirdness.

I didn't see any way to sort the favorites by size, type, date, etc. In the file explorer I can sort by name and ext but nothing else. It seems that one can't add other columns. In favorites there are no sort columns. I think just a button that can cycle the sorting would be effective as long as it had the major options(size, date, name, modify date, ext, etc).

Thanks!

If you turned on View 'Long' List option, then Explorer can display the size and modify date. image Please give it a try.

In favorites there are no sort columns.

yes, I will keep this in mind for future versions. Thank you very much!
