Folders at Top, Sorting, Command-Line

Post by meteorquake »

Probably the most generally useful improvement I can think of would be to have folders always at the top. If necessary, an option you can tick so that they are. There's nothing worse than folders somestimes being placed in one place, other times somewhere else (at the end)!

These also come to mind -

Be able to sort with a single click. Currently it toggles sorting, so you have to stop and think what it is currently, whereas if shift-click-heading sorted one way and ctrl-click-heading sorted the other way, you'd not have to think at all but just click.

I've also found that entering a command line to start it with "path"<space> so that I can just type a filename to be problematic.
"path/everything.exe" -search """"path""""
gets that path in with quotes, but getting that space in is a problem.

Cheers, and thanks as always for a bit of software that's a delight to use,

I'll consider an option to place the folders at the top when the sort is descending.
I'll consider shift and ctrl clicking column headers to set the sort ascending or descending.

Thanks for the suggestions.

For the command line, please try:
"""path" """"

Triple double quote = single literal quote.
Double quotes escape spaces.
