Change the move icon to not coincide with the cut icon

Open TabFox-log opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

I can see why the icon would be a cut icon, but I spent five minutes trying to figure out how to move a file and I didn't want to do it 'the wrong way' by cutting and pasting. An icon with a folder and an arrow would work. Also, the small popup that shows up should give a hint on how to complete the move operation, because right now, you have to figure out on your own that you have to go to your desired directory, open the tasks menu and click the move task.

Other than that, this is a very nice file manager and I enjoy using it more than the other alternatives I've used up till now.

I had to look at other file explorers to see of any uses an icon other than the cut icon. among apps I use, I've only found Samsung Files uses the folder with arrow icon, the rest of them use the cut icon (MT Manager, Mixplorer, even in Windows it is a cut icon). I feel like the cut option fits better.

You're right, the app doesn't have hints or any guidance on the features it offers. I see why tabs and tasks experience doesn't seem obvious. I should definitely add a hint when a new task is added (or add brief guide in an intro screen). I'll consider this in upcoming updates.

Thanks!
