Add ability to refresh and re-sort "Folders" panel

Post by marp »

Currently (1.8.2), there seems to be no refresh capability of the "Folders" panel.

While the "Folders" panel automatically detects new folders, folder deletions and folder renames, it does not seem to be able to sort new or renamed folders.
Instead, such folders are added at the bottom of any given folder sibling hierarchy.

The only way to get properly sorted folders in this panel is to entirely quit the application and restart.

Best Regards,
Marp.

I'm on version 1.9.3 MacOS and this problem remains...
This really isn't a suggestion, but a bug.

When viewing the 'Folders' panel - if I add a new sub-directory, it simply adds it to the end of the list of other sub-directories.
It should refresh and sort alphabetically instead.

Clicking 'Refresh' doesn't do anything for the 'Folders' panel, it only seems to refresh the Thumbnails panel.
Collapsing and reopening the parent directories doesn't do anything either.

Below is an example - I added the sub directory '202401'.
It should automatically become the first directory in that list, but instead just sits at the end.
The only way to fix this is to restart the whole program, which is a pain.
