Suggestion for file browser #1263

Open mrrezaie opened 3 years ago

mrrezaie commented 3 years ago

Hi,

The file browser in OpenSim (all versions) is not user-friendly enough (during opening, loading, and saving). Some functionalities like pasting the path, searching for files, right-clicking on the files for previewing, deleting, copying and etc. are missed when compared to e.g Notepad++ file browser or other windows applications

It would be great if the OpenSim developer team would change the file browser in the new version (4.2).

Regards, Mohammadreza

Hi, the current file/folder picker design is rather too old. There is neither "Quick access", to quickly find the pinned folders, nor address bar, to paste the directory in which files are located. Sometimes it takes me a while to navigate/find the desired folder. I wonder if it would be possible for OpenSim developers to modify the design of the GUI file/folder picker. Thank you. @aymanhab @nickbianco
