Description Fernando Marcelino Muniz 2025-11-03 20:16:33 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a folder and create sub-folders inside of it.
2. Create a folder with nothing inside of it.

OBSERVED RESULT
Their icons look the same; they both look empty and it seems like nothing of value would be lost in removing them.

EXPECTED RESULT
Show the sub-folders inside of the main folder's icon, so it won't be mistaken for a empty folder.
