Problem
The problem is that the clickable area for the settings toggle button is really small and the user should exactly click on the arrow to toggle the settings and it's painful.
initially, I thought that maybe it was a bug however I've realized that I have to exactly click on the arrow to toggle the settings as I go through docs.

Solution
I think it's a good idea to expand the clickable area to both the "Settings" text and the arrow for a bigger clickable area.
in my view, it would affect a better UX in general.

Alternative
Another solution would be to expand the clickable area to the whole section at the top left corner.

I appreciate what you've done, It's a great project, I really like it, thumbs up.

Describe the bug
Can't run repo on windows (works well on mac). Also, when I build exe files on Mac they don't work when I actually run them in Windows.

Describe the bug
Closing the only one tab by clicking the x button won't close the entire application and it returns the following error message:

VM886 E:\xplorer\outs\src\Components\tab.js:26 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'BrowserWindow' of undefined
    at HTMLSpanElement.<anonymous> (VM886 E:\xplorer\outs\src\Components\tab.js:26)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch xplorer
2. Click on the x button which is located in the inner right tab
3. See error

Expected behavior
Clicking the x button should close the entire application.

Additional comment
Does this problem happen again after restarting the app? Yes

I think it was better if you placed this const outside of this function in the module - and it was better if this const was wrapped by Object.freeze - because the doesn't change anywhere

Describe the solution you'd like
Sometimes it will be more convenient for us to find the need to edit or re-evaluate the documents that we have recently opened without having to getting back to the original path. Recent files are the features which allow us to open the recently previewed and opened files which allow users to quickly select the files without getting back to their original path.

Describe the bug
More of an enhancement actually. A red swiggly line appears below text "xplorer://Home" in filepath input. That''s the spell check which spins up. I think disabling it would be nice.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click on file path input xplorer://Home
2. A red line appears below "xplorer" text

Expected behavior
should not do spellcheck on filepath input

Consider using back and forth mouse bindings automatically like most file explorers.
As a developer I constantly make use of keyboard and mouse shortcuts. I suggest to make use of mouse bindings so user can go to previous visited path by pressing the shortcut. Same behavior applies on browsers where you can navigate to previous visited page or next page (if exists).

Additional comment
After some research I learned that keyboard shortcut for back and forth is ALT+left arrow and ALT+right arrow accordingly.

Hello, i have found few bugs and also want to see how you react on suggestions that i have.
Bugs:

1. If you open Properties of some folder or file and then close, the information label wont disappear. It moves outside of the edge but stays still visible and you can't move or close it on your own. (screenshot 1)
2. The program starts being slow after some time, like 5 or 10 minutes, especially if you open concurrently few tabs and use them. You can see that if you open Settings or click some files. The problem affects only animations i guess, because it doesn't decrease performance (or may be i'm wrong, not sure).

Suggestions:

1. Add to context menu all the applications that default Windows has, because most of them are useful and this is a big restriction for users.

If i remember more, i'll add. Thanks.

Description

So, on #105 I had a failing check. On deeper inspection, I discovered that @kimlimjustin hasn't set a personal access token in the repository secrets and some more unrelated errors are showing up.

Steps To Reproduce

Check the workflows

Expected behaviour

It is actually supposed to be successful since all I changed was the docs code, not the Xplorer app code.

Xplorer Version

not relevant

Operating System Version

not relevant, although it happens on all build OSes

Additional Information

The zip file contains logs that I downloaded from GitHub.

Describe the bug
So, I installed Xplorer today and tried launching it. There is no error message, no window of Xplorer. All it opens is multiple instances of my VS Code and loading my computer up. I have attached screenshots below, can you try guessing the error?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Install Xplorer
2. Launch it
3. It opens VS Code rather than Xplorer's window

Expected behavior
Xplorer to open

Screenshots
I will add screenshots+video afterwards, I don't have enough time as of now but will post it soon.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS Version: Windows 7 Home Premium and another computer with Windows 7 Ultimate(both have errors
• App Version: v0.1.0

Additional comment
Add any other comment about the problem here. Does this problem happen again after restarting the app?

Any number of times, whenever I launch Xplorer, it does these:

1. Open VS Code
2. Add 3+ processes to my computer
3. Won't let me close them easily
4. Load my computer up and get it to almost the verge of bursting.

My computer has 4 GB of memory. Does Xplorer really need almost the entire CPU to work(genuine question, no offence and no sarcasm)?

Describe the bug
When I move window, it not moving as normal window.

To Reproduce

2. Hover on "Layout Mode" or "Sort by" option to reveal the respective sub menu

I've mapped some network drivers & renamed them in windows explorer. It looks like the name I get in xplorer is the mapped folder not explorer-renamed name.
Would it be possible to use the new name, or let us add alias to the network drivers here?

To Reproduce
Map a drive, rename it in ms explorer. Open xplorer, name is different.

Expected behavior
Use renamed ms explorer name.

• OS Version: Win10x64
• App Version: [e.g. v1.0]

these are some of the common shortcut keys i personally use frequently
base on my exp using file explorer in windows and linux

support the following shortcut keys:

• search (eg Ctrl+F)
• new windows (eg Ctrl+N)
• new tab (eg Ctrl+T)
• navigate Up from current folder (eg Alt+Up)
• navigate back/forward folder history (eg Alt+Left/Right)
• toggle display of hidden files (eg Ctrl+H)

Most importantly it should support configurable shortcut so user can customize them base on preference.

feel free to add more to the list

Describe the bug
I don't if it's even a bug, or just human error, but I downloaded it, and it opened, but it's yet to load any files.

1. Head to the xplorer GitHub page
2. Download Xplorer-Setup-0.1.0.exe
3. Run the file and install the app

Additional comment
Even after restarting, it still hasn't loaded any files. I've closed and opened the app, even reinstalled it. Hopefully it's just human error, cos it looks super sick and I wanna be able to use it properly.

If I cklick on the string "Favorites" or "Drives" the arrow changes his orientation but no action is called

Describe the solution you'd like
When I want to close the settings view then the action (with censor: pointer) exists only in the up arrow icon on the top left corner instead of the whole settings button. I suggest to expand the action area to the whole settings button.

Currently, technology to detect USB Drives plugged in is by:

1. Windows

   wmic logicaldisk get Caption,FreeSpace,Size,VolumeName,Description  /format:list
   

2. Linux and Mac

   df -P | awk 'NR > 1'
   

However, those commands are unable to detect the phone when plugged in, and we need to find a new way to detect drives, using any programing language that can be plugged into node.js. Any comments will be appreciated :)

Is there a way to make this the default file explorer on windows?

So, I noticed the recent merge on Xplorer(commit hash: d9e4510) and wanted to check it out, so I popped up a Gitpod Workspace. First off, there is some sort of speed with Gitpod that it misses out yarn and the second one is that for Docusaurus, it throws out this error:

Unfortunately, I’m not able to open the application. I’m using an M1 Macbook Air, 8gb. It’s running a beta version of macOS 12 Monterey. It says "The application “Xplorer.app” can’t be opened.” when I click on it in /Applications
