Feature: Remove auto select readme file

Open GloriousPtr opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Description

Automatically selection of README.md when a folder is opened is a very crude implementation. The intent of selecting a folder is lost cos of this. Things start to break very quickly when working with columns layout with preview pane enabled.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Selected a folder I wanted to delete, and it selected the README.md inside of it.
  2. Press delete and it will delete the README.md instead of folder.

Requirements

The folder I selected should be selected and it should not select any other file or folder.

Files Version

2.5.1.0

Windows Version

10.0.22621.1848

Log File

N/A

Maybe having a toggle in settings to disable this functionality altogether would be helpful. Also Why not show README.md content when a folder is selected and not alter user's selection? I'm not aware of the architecture of this project so not sure if it can be done but it seems to be a better implementation.

I have the same problem too. When I open a folder containing a README.md file and my preview pane is open, it automatically selects itself, and it's a bit annoying.

I'm happy to remove this feature if it's not useful. It was originally introduced before we had the column layout.
