What's the Problem?

Hello,

I am now using Files 2.0 and I am liking it but still am running in a few issues.

How can I open each folder in a new window instead of a new tab?

How can I display the folder full path instead of the current folder name?

These are features available in Windows 10 File Explorer and Windows 11 File Explorer (that has slow navigation issues with Cloud Drives).

Also, the right mouse click menu with a full context menu takes a few seconds to show the complete full context menu. Any way to speed up this process?

Thanks

Solution/Idea

1 - Add options to open Files in a new Windows instead of tabs
2 - Add option to display folder full path as in Windows 10 File Explorer
3 - Speed up the process of showing the full context menu to be immediate as in Windows 10 File Explorer
