Idea: section in UI "File Explorer tweaks" with a couple of different (small) explorer/shell tweaks

[Jay-o-Way]

📝 Provide a description of the new feature

Right now, we have a section (in the Settings) called "File Explorer preview" and it has three items.
I've seen a couple of interesting features that have something to do with the shell or explorer, that I think can be very well grouped together in one section. I would (re)name that "File Explorer tweaks". Obviously I don't know yet if these will end up in the final version, but some nice candidates I saw are:

• New Folder with Selection #3569 Move selection into a new folder
• Explorer right click copy image to clipboard (not file) #5256 Copy image (not file)
• Image gallery integrated into File Explorer #5147 Image gallery
• Tool to add / remove shortcuts from "This PC" #1984 add / remove shortcuts from "This PC"
• Fast Delete #1643 Fast Delete folders
• light/dark mode switch based key, on time or sunset/sunrise #1331 Windows 10 theme switch
• Show folder size in explorer #356 folder size in explorer
• Manage right-click - Customize context menu #33 (and many others) manage shell context menu
• Copy path/filename in primary context menu #5208 or Path copy copy integration #1998 copy filename/path

If you have any implementations that you think would also be relevant here, feel free to answer :)

I want to get rid tracking issues. Would rather we do maybe some form of wiki pages or something.

The tracking issues also were for classifications of bug groupings as well.

[Jay-o-Way]

@crutkas it's not about the tracking issues. At all. My idea is about the section in the Settings UI. If any number of these new ideas will be implemented (and for a couple I am really hoping and expecting so) then they can be available together in the section File Explorer Tweaks. The same area that until now only has thee toggle switches.

Think of how Tweak UI had a bunch of small Tweaks.
Do you understand what I mean?

[crutkas]

I think that is too far in the future, we don't have any of these there and right now they are not POR for the direct PT team to build.

[Jay-o-Way]

@crutkas I just cannot understand why you immediately dismiss this. As for future plans, I am just thinking ahead. It's just an idea, there's no rush. I do not believe those three single handlers will stay alone like that. And I really see a future for some of these other ideas. After all, isn't that the reason you put them in the idea-new-powertoy or suggested ideas list?

Even more: in issue #1643, on April 1st, you literally said

I'd imagine this would be part of the "File Explorer" section, fyi for enabling / disabling

[crutkas]

This is an issue about where things that haven't been committed to by the PT team would be grouped together If they were done

We also do have tags which would be a better way as they can be additive or subtractive for querying where this is pretty static.

@crutkas Do you have a Private Issue Tracker? I recommend you to make one for PT.
