Add column "type"

Hi,

it would be nice to have a column "type" in the UI, like FileZilla for example has.

do you want to just "see" that column or "sort" by it? if sort, then flashfxp can already do that.

Please could you tell me, how I can sort after "type" in FlashFXP? So I can check, if it is what I am looking for.

Right click on the file list select Sort By > File Extension

On the remote view its called File Extension because it uses the file extension to sort, rather than the file type description.

Not exactly what I am looking for, but in the end I can do nearly the same with just sorting after extensions.

Can you please elaborate on how having a type column would work differently?

This feature can be added to future releases, currently we see it as a low priority because this functionality is already available via the right-click menu.

Well, I think of two things:

• With columns I could sort up-/downwards.
• The view should be comparable to explorer view, and in explorer you have such a column.

Another thing would be that in theory, you can define one file type with multiple possible extensions. A real file type column, would group these different extensions together, because of there definition. So a real file type support would be nice for someone, who keep an eye on the defined file types of his/her system. For the average user, file type will be just equal to extension...


P.s.: I agree with you. Because you can actual sort, this has a very low priority.
