| Attachments: | The current implementation of the folder picker | ||
Can confirm all the issues, I agree we should bring it up to par with the regular picker. Or rather, just use the regular one here too, I don't personally see why we need different one for folders: Just hide any non-folder item in the regular picker for directory actions.
> 2. You cannot double-click on the folders to open them; you must click on the tiny arrow on the left, which is an accessibility issue.
I noticed that if user has single-click mode, then clicking on the folder opens it. We should do that in the default double-click mode as well (when double-clicked).

Created attachment 189358 [details] The current implementation of the folder picker The current implementation of the folder picker is too basic. The problems are: 1. It only displays a hierarchical tree view. It doesn't have options to change the view mode or to increase the size of the entries. While I agree that the tree view is the most useful for selecting a folder, it may not be the best for everyone. 2. You cannot double-click on the folders to open them; you must click on the tiny arrow on the left, which is an accessibility issue. 3. No options to search, sort or filter. The file picker is very functional. It would be better if the folder picker functionality could be brought closer to that of the file picker.
