For »New folder«, insert the folder directly in the file list and have it in rename mode.

As already mentioned in the older issues #19230 and #7031

When clicking »New folder«, insert the folder directly in the file list and have it in rename mode.

That way people directly have orientation of where the file is. And we don’t need to have all the text box fumbling in the new file menu – we can just use the rename functonality in the list.

For consistency, this should probably happen for any file created with that menu.

Well, for other files where we have editors (like files_texteditor) it will be even better to directly open the relevant editor. But yes, otherwise this should happen.

You still need to input a name before opening the editor.
Unless you want every editor to provide a rename functionality ?

[jancborchardt]

The Documents app (ODT editor) has rename functionality already). And for the text editor it kinda makes sense as well cc @tomneedham.

Also the Gallery / image detail viewer should have all the relevant actions: owncloud/gallery#68 – so it makes sense for the editors to all have this functionality as well.

It should be exposed via APIs anyway and then the viewers/editors could tap into them. It’s cumbersome to always need to switch back to the filelist to be able to do something basic as share a file or favorite it.

Isn't this more like the general 'viewer' API we talked about before? #13414 Could have a bar with those actions on, for example, along the bottom of the new editor view.

Inserting a file into the list and directly asking for a name isn't consistent with sorting.

At first the folder might be called "New folder" and the input is in rename mode. So the list would scroll down to "N". But then the user renames it to "Z" and it would jump again at the bottom of the list.

This doesn't make sense.

However, the intended purpose of knowing where the file appear is already achieved today by having the scroll + highlight after insertion. I think this is enough, closing.
