@marcchataigner, do you have some idea how to make file lists easier to read?
Indeed we could flip columns around similar as a linux terminal does:
$ ll
total 640

Double row looks interesting, maybe with a way to show it also compact.
However, let's move the final decision to a later milestone, maybe 3.1
In this list, what would be the key element you want the user to focus on? (based on the main action you want him/her to do)
want the user to focus on?
It is from use cases.
Maybe required two or more style. (maybe in over 4.x)
However, in this thread's main-theme told for the version 3.1.
It is mean is want the "default".
By the way, file path is the most important in my case.
I like things that allow you to grasp the file list without moving the view point as much as possible when scrolling vertically and lengthy.
Therefore, it is necessary to devise such that double-row does not disturb it by coloring etc.
If the aim is to only display information, without proposing any action to the user, I agree with the 2 lines.
If the aim is to enable the user to filter, or select lines (items) before downloading, then maybe a single line with clear columns might work better. If the user wants to filter by file_name, date, size for instance.
what do you think ?
Unfortunately, I think in the version 3.1, maybe cannot implementation filter-ui. 😭
I have other high priority issues by this project. 😓
I think it's not so clear yet. But I don't think we need to hurry.
I think so.
however, column-switching (or double row) is will can between within 30min. very very light task.
Our can decision like a feather touch. :)
