Description Aurélien COUDERC 2023-01-09 21:54:28 UTC

SUMMARY
When navigating down the tree of an analysed folder by clicking the pie chart elements or the folder names on the left panel, the action is not registered for the « Back » navigation and the Back button stays greyed.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Start filelight and analyse your home folder.
2.  Click any of the pie chart elements, or folders in the left pane.

OBSERVED RESULT
The Back button stays greyed and cannot be used.

EXPECTED RESULT
The Back button should be active and lead back to the previous location in the tree.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Running the HEAD of the master branch as of 2023-01-07, commit 902a954.
Other actions like « Up » or « Go to Overview » do register and activate Back/Forward navigation.

The observed behavior on this one, at least on my Fedora 41 / Gear 24.08.3 setup, has changed, but I think still results in an unintuitive UX:

* The Back/Forward buttons are now hidden from view when in the directory hierarchy
* The Back button on a mouse flips back to the Overview page if the cursor is located over the hierarchy (Forward on a mouse does not flip "forward" to the hierarchy page, though)

The expected result would remain the same, I believe - that the Back button should move back to the previously-viewed directory in the hierarchy.
