Add File Type to "Customize Columns..." - Column Options window #7861

Closed bgoosen closed 2 months ago

bgoosen commented 2 months ago

Preflight Checklist

Problem

I would like to be able to quickly sort between file types

Desired Solution

Add File Extension as an option for column sort to the Column Options menu

Alternatives and Workarounds

I can also access the File Share using our users' credentials in an FTP client that allows File Type sorting, but would prefer to work in Storage Explorer under my own account credentials.

Additional Context

I routinely need to find if a client has uploaded any other files (typically XLS) in a File Share loaded with 1000s of JPGs

@bgoosen When you say "file type", are you referring to the file's ContentType property (it's MIME type), or do you want the extension from the file name?

bgoosen commented 2 months ago

I believe either would be sufficient for my situation.

craxal commented 2 months ago

Since getting the content type requires a separate request to Azure (which would slow things down if we were to call this API for every file), I think we will go with the easier file extension.
