Feature: Add Windows File Explorer detail layout columns to Files

[Mannshoch]

What's the Problem?

I use a third party application. This application add a file property to explorer. That way I could add it as column to the Explorer "Detail view" (right-click on header context-menu).
I need this property in a specific directory and all of it's subdirectory.

Solution/Idea

At moment the Column settings allows only to tick 4 properties. Please add the list from Windows Explorer.

Alternatives

Windows Explorer

Priorities

• show file properties that also Explorer support
• show file properties third application add to explorer
• Enable grouping and sorting options

Files Version

2.1.13.0

Windows Version

Windows 10 - 10.0.19044 (no Pause/Break key)

@winston-de is there a way to automate this instead of manually creating columns in the xaml? If not, we might have to wait for a modern DataGrid control from WinUI.

possible? probably.
feasible? probably not.

it would require a lot of interesting things, like manually adding column definitions to the grid in code behind, as well as the bindings. And of course, the fun part is when something changes, and you have to manually update every single row.

Definitely would love to have bitrates for audio files and the other options for details pane. Seems like i use it often.
