What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Hello, I know there is already a "Show alternate data streams" option in Files, but it shows all ADS nearby file, but it seems more useful to show ADS fields in file properties (like hashes).

Requirements

  • Add a new “ADS” section to the file properties window.

Files Version

3.3.0.0

Windows Version

Windows 10 22H2 19045.3930

Thanks for the feedback, How would it be more useful? They show in the normal file view as they can be edited like a file

How would this be more useful?

I have 10-15 ADS for each file and I only want to see the ADS in the properties windows and not in the window with all the files because...It turns into a huge mess of files mixed with ADS, This is probably a very rare case, but it does happen :D

For example I have ADS: checkStatus, checkDate, hashMD5 and more other

But all my ADS contain ASCII text and no binary data, so these fields can be displayed as a table "ADS-name | ADS-content".
But I don't know how to skip showing the ADS field in case some ADS have binary data instead of plain text (maybe just skip showing the ADS field in case >100 bytes...), it may not be possible to determine which ADS have plain text and what binary data (must be skipped)
