Activity tab in sidebar doesn’t show activity inside folder

[jancborchardt]

When I open the details pane of a folder, I want to know the activity of what happened inside it. Currently only creation and sharing is shown (in the future rename). I definitely expect to see all activity of files inside it right there.

@nickvergessen mentioned:

This can only be implemented if the file tree is stored in a different way in the database. We can get a list of files below the folder, but recursively getting all of them and all activities for them is not going to be nice, so this won't happen.

show all activities from one folder in the sidebar would be really an huge mess of information.

But if you add recent file activities than you can see what's going on in this folder.

This is exactly what I was proposing – Activity is always sorted by recent.

How hard do you think it would be to implement this feature?

I am interested in contributing. However as I am new and as I see that this issue exist for 7 years, I fear that's not that easy to implement.

Thanks in advance :pray:

It requires either a fundamental rebuild on the file list table or a complete rework and restructuring of the activity app.

@nickvergessen Thanks for your answer!
