FR: Customize sidebar menu

[baur]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like the option to hide the share button to keep the interface minimalistic. Currently, there is no way to remove it

Describe the solution you'd like

Please provide a setting to hide the share button, allowing users to customize the interface based on their needs.

Additional context

Ideally, it would be great to have a toggle setting for each function, allowing to customize the interface.

Same for

• Toggle single click
• Toggle sticky sidebar
• Switch view
• Toggle dark mode
• Select multiple
• Whole side bar - allow hide sidebar

But allow set via config default values

But Whole sidebar is not suitable, so here is the source selector.

a very simple approach is to assign a unique class name to each element and hide it using custom CSS.

The "share" view hides a lot of this and has its own style.

Just to help understand, why would you want some users to hide things like switch view, toggle dark mode?

I could see the utility of disabling the sidebar -- and customizing the sidebar's option.

But I think I'll need convincing for disabling "select multiple" and "switch view" which are basic UI functions I don't see a reason to omit.

I'd like to keep the interface minimalistic. In my case, 80% of the time, the app is primarily used for sharing files with users, but not through the "share" button, but via user authorization. Access is controlled based on user roles, which can be centrally managed. These users only need to view and download files, so additional functions may only add unnecessary complexity.

I understand that the app shouldn't be overcomplicated with rarely used features. A better approach would be to allow elements to be hidden using unique CSS class IDs and enabling custom styling. In the original repository, I achieved this in a similar way, but it was quite challenging due to the absence of class IDs.

Pardon, I see that it's possible via Permissions. I think this issue can be closed

[gtsteffaniak]

I'm going to keep it open as a feature to customize the sidebar and UI more.

It's a good idea! Even separately from permissions
