Otter-files metadata columns

PendingFeature3 votes0 commentsby Cannonball 💣

Feature Description

I would like to request an enhancement to the "Detailed View" (List View) layout in the file browser to include standardized metadata columns.

Proposed Solution

Add the following toggleable columns to the header row when a user switches to the detailed layout:

  1. Size: Displays the file size (dynamically formatted in KB, MB, or GB).
  2. File Type: Displays the extension format or system description (e.g., "Text Document", "PNG Image").
  3. Date Modified: Displays the timestamp of the last time the file was saved or altered.

Expected Behavior

  • Users should be able to click these column headers to sort files in ascending or descending order.
  • Right-clicking the header row should allow users to hide or show these columns based on preference.

A few examples:
