[Request] 'Details' and 'Icon-Only' Versions of Tray

Open TKG-StefanCBauer opened this issue 9 months ago • 1 comments

While the tray functionality is extremely useful (and finally gives me a decent replacement for the folder shortcuts in W10), it's also very space inefficient in the way it does item layout. Observe: The large-icon-plus-text layout simultaneously manages to take up a bunch of screen real-estate, while still cutting off the text that matters (the difference between my two batch files).

It would be very helpful to have couple of other layout possibilities for the tray, e.g. one analagous to the 'Details' view in the base File Explorer with rows of icon and title and maybe other info, and one which is just icons with no text for close packing. (For the latter, it would also be nice to control the size of the icons.)

Anyway, thanks for building and maintaining ChromaFiler, it's been a really excellent QoL upgrade!

Agreed. Weirdly this is also dependent on DPI. Higher display scales have more compact spacing than lower scales, which makes me think something in the folder view isn't scaling properly.

You might already know this, but Ctrl-Scrolling works in the tray to change the icon size. It doesn't fix the spacing problem but it can help.
