List view for filebrowser

[clragon]

Perceived idea awesomeness

• I'm not sure a lot of people would use it, but I'd love to have it.

Perceived idea difficulty

• Shouldn't be too hard to make.

It would be pretty neat if we could have a windows-explorer like information list view for the file browser.
Here's what it looks like;

👍 Will consider this as a new feature

There you go. The code already had access to some more advanced file stats and the filesystem module has a pretty recent css implementation that uses grid and flexbox, so it was quite easy to do.

Keyboard shortcut to switch between the original "grid" and the list view is Ctrl+Shift+L. There's also the fsListView setting, which defaults to false.

Shipping in next release 👍

(Possible future improvements: Reduce/optimize time string, show file permissions/owner)

that's so cool!

only thing I'd still would wanna see is sort by type instead of just name.

I have everything sorted by type, sorting by type ftw

Will look into it.

@clragon Just went over this thread again as I'm polishing this feature a bit; it seems that the module already sorts filesystem entries by type (folders then files then symlinks etc), is that not what you're expecting?

@GitSquared
does it also sort by file type? because thats what I meant.

[GitSquared]

@clragon Oh right. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
