auto-hide would be very nice. Maybe as a plug-in...

How should show we display sub folders when the nav is minimized? Should we flatten them?

for desktop, maybe only show root folder, and on hover a vertical navigation menu

@Flexo013 Any idea?

@arcturus140
I'm not sure it is a good idea. It could make item aligning of the side nav inconsistent.

Here's a couple of ideas:

  • Add a number to indicate nested folders. Either on the icon, or maybe as a small super/subscript.
  • Make smaller icons (but line stays the same height).
  • Just flatten them, and show the path (and folder name) on hover.

My preference goes to the third option

@arcturus140 It doesn't. We might provide this for Android, iPadOS tablets though. But I think it should be tracked in a new issue.

@Flexo013 Hmm.. we can try the options you suggested. But I'm not sure it is the best option. So I think we should just hide the nav when collapsed and give an option to minimize it.

Anyway, I'm going to implement hiding the nav feature in v0.6.0.

Awesome to hear that this is scheduled for 0.6.0! We can always expand on the functionality going forward from that version.

I think this design would be least intrusive:

  • Just flatten them, and show the path (and folder name) on hover.
