What's the Problem?

It would be nice if creating a new file or new folder had a default name set like in Windows Explorer or Nemo File Explorer in Linux Mint. It would be helpful for those with physical challenges such as war injuries. It would make a better user experience and save on time.

Solution/Idea

Each folder could be simple named 'new folder' or 'untitled folder' and it could auto increment each time a folder is made. It could be named after the date time by default that way each folder or file is unique and never overwrites another. I often copy and paste the date time in a files properties to name files or folders after that.

Alternatives

I'm sure of any alternatives.

Requirements

Files Version

2.3.11.0

Windows Version

10.19043.1889

We're interested in learning more about your use case. We find that users usually name folders with unique names so it'll help to learn more about your use case and how we can make Files more accessible for you. Do you use speech to text?
