Group By Option

#1 Post by Odylg » 07.12.2015, 17:28

Something like this:

I know I could use the "only view such and such file types" option, or assign specific colors to specific file types, or make a separator file, but those options don't allow the user to collapse/expand nor do they have the same aesthetic value.

Is there any chance this is being looked at? Its a great way to separate file types and to organise them and alphabetical order.

I would find this very helpful, too.
I have used Windows explorer for several years and liked the headlines between the files when grouping by file type. For me, it makes it much easier to distinguish between the files and find what I am looking for.

Regards,

I would also like to revive this topic. As far as my use case this seems to be the only capability Windows Explorer has that Free Commander does not.

I don't know how to attach an image, but to direct you there in Windows Explorer, "Group By" is under the View tab in the Current View section. It functions basically like a multi-sort, allowing someone to 'group' files together by a primary attribute like date, author, type.. and then sort within groups by another attribute. This is a pretty specific use tool, but it can be really useful and Windows Explorer does a nice job visualizing the groups with separations and categories that can be collapsed.

It's pretty neat, but I would like there not to be any reason to use WE :)
