List view: Sub-folder content creation
Use cases
When using Files in tree view mode (list view + allow expend), there seem to be no way of creating new content (folder or file) in a sub-folder. Example here with an empty subfolder:
Desired behaviour
Would be nice to be able to create content from the tree view at any level of the directory tree. I imagine that the New Folder
and ``New File` actions could be made available in the context menu of the parent directory of the location where the content should be created:
There may be other (better) solutions though. Another one I can think of would be to always have an (Add Content)
row at every level (like the currently existing (Empty)
) that would let the user create files and folders.
Benefits of the solution
Tree view is very helpful for discovering/displaying the content of a directory from a root location (eg. source code repository). Not being able to create content at any level of the tree force the user to temporary change the root location and then came back to it.
Possible drawbacks
Code complexity I believe...
