Expanding/collapsing multiparts archives

Post by Reve_Etrange »

What about having an option in the config that would show multiparts archives ('j_alba.part1.rar', 'j_alba.part2.rar' etc.) as a single item that you could expand or collapse directly in the list view so as to hide or see the different parts ? This is similar to what many newsgroups progs do, or even not unlike code folding in text editors, if you like.

I think that would save a lot of space in the list view and this would also allow users to move, copy or delete whole multiparts archives in one fell swoop.

TheQwerty had already wished for something like this, but I said no. And I still do.

You actually said:

Which at least gave me hope that it might eventually happen. It's certainly more optimistic than this flat-out "no".

I maintain that CIG would be quite the unique (and useful) feature on the file manager comparison charts. :wink:

"Certainly" is maybe a bit too strong. Frankly I would not bet on a next life.

If FC Köln finish in top half of Bundesliga, will you implement it?

It would be cheap to say yes, because the condition will never be true, but even IF I don't see me doing this within the current millenium.

You sound like my wife when we first met.

If it can cook and do the washing up, I am for sure.
