[Feature Request] Move and Rename Favorites in Left Panel

Open Etienne-TR opened this issue 9 months ago • 1 comments

Description

I would like to request the ability to organize and personalize favorites in the left panel by enabling:

  1. Moving favorite items via drag and drop
  2. Renaming favorite items through a right-click context menu option

Use Cases

  • Organizing favorites in a logical order based on workflow or frequency of use
  • Grouping related applications or folders together for faster access
  • Customizing display names to be more descriptive or shorter for better space utilization
  • Creating a more personalized file navigation experience

Expected Behavior

  • Users should be able to drag and drop favorite items to reorder them in the left panel
  • Right-clicking on a favorite item should provide a "Rename" option in the context menu
  • The rename function would change only the display name without affecting the actual file/folder name

Benefits

  • Improved productivity through better organization of frequently accessed items
  • Enhanced user experience through personalization
  • Reduced cognitive load by allowing meaningful naming conventions
  • Consistency with file management interfaces in other modern operating systems
  • More efficient screen space usage by allowing shorter custom names for commonly used items
