Feature: Add option to not treat pinned folders as root in Columns View #15066
Comments
I'm not sure I'm understanding this right, but do you mean a Tree View that only displays parent folders?
The tab already displays the current folder, are you looking for something more visible?
The far-right column is always the active one. |
Inaccessible Parent Column from folder shortcut example:Files_gq12fEPgm1.mp4Desired UX:
Current UX: The video shows the inconsistency of the column view with no "parent" columns if accessed from a folder shortcut. Path Updating to "active" column example:Files_2afccvMruJ.mp4

I think you're referring to the fact that pinned folders are treated as root. This is by design but if there is enough interest, we can make it an option. |
Yeah, that would be nice, a way to toggle. Most explorers with shortcuts and pinned quickly navigate down.. a shortcut doesn't remake the folder tree roots in a general UX - thus to only be able to navigate down and not back up to the relative tree paths vs quick jump to existing tree to allow to climb down then back up at any time if necessary. |
For more context as to why it's this way by default see #7589 (comment) (this comment isn't to say a setting won't be added, it's just to provide context on the current experience). @hishitetsu fyi |
I don't have a preference, but I'm not opposed to having it as an option. |
What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?
