Keep at least one last item always visible

Or even completely hide the sidebar maybe? Users might not know how to show it again

I would like to work on the issue

Hello,
I have been developing for a few years in C# and I have been using Files Community for some time. I would like to know if anyone was currently assigned at this issue, and if not, could I try to work on it?

Can we have the button actually bring up the edit sidebar options UI.

Not sure that design works, especially if we end up moving the settings button to the bottom of the sidebar.

I'll have a play around with some ideas. Files does not have other illustrations, so we don't have a visual style or metaphor to refer to for illustrative imagery.

Home should never be removable.

What about something like this?

Can we have the button actually bring up the edit sidebar options UI.

Should be possible, it's just a menu flyout.

Do we want to have an EmptyContent property on the Sidebar, that shows when other items are not visible? Handle the logic in the control itself?

Header content (Home item) and Footer content (Settings) would be excluded from the empty logic.

@mdtauk we don't currently but we'll want to do something like that.

@yaira2 is this issue still open to work? I don't think anyone resolved it

The issue is still marked as planning but the designs @mdtauk shared look good. Do you want to work on this?

sure thing

I stumbled on another issue, I hid all favourites folders and maybe i dont know or there is no option to make them visible back, so they would be visible back again. Is there an option to just add folder to favourites?

Is there an option to just add folder to favourites

There should be an option when you right click a folder

There should be an option when you right click a folder

Yes i added folder to favourites but it doesn't appear. Is there a way to hide favourite folders? because i thought the good way of doing it would be to hide all items from favourites after that all of my items from favourites are hidden see gif

also i've seen the issue that in default browsing through files there is no option of adding folder/file to favourites. Might want to open another issue for this

You turned off the favorites section from the sidebar, you can right click the sidebar to add it back.

okay i see thanks for claryfing

everything is clear now i will work on it
