Suggestions - Things I miss from my old broken file manager

Post by AugustWest »

Just found EPP. Amazing piece of work. Cudos to all the contributing developers. My old unsupported file manager finally broke after win11 upgrade.

SUGGESTIONS
===========
1 Copy as Filename
- Copies Filenames (WITHOUT path) of selected files to clipboard
- similar function as 'Copy as Path'
- My old file manager placed 2 menuitems under the 'Edit' menu for 'Copy Name As Text' and
'Copy Full Path As Text'
===========
2 Show Drive Names On Drive Bar
- Mouse-over drives in drive bar, show drive names. (ex OS(C:), MyData(D:), Music(E:) )
- makes it easier to quickly determine which physical drive is associated with the drive letter. Especially relevant for flash drives that can have equivalent sizes (ex 2 32Gb drives)
===========
3 Bookmark A File
- EPP currently bookmarks folders only (I believe)
- Add a way to add file bookmarks
- open file in default app for files extension type when bookmark is clicked
- useful for frequently used files
===========
4 File > New > Document (add as toolbar button dropdown)
- currently done in EPP by right click in the folder pane, then 'New'
- Win Explorer has "New" toolbar button, others apps have File > New menuitems on top level menu
