[Feature Request]: Show shared/similar information in side-bar during Multi-select #1314
Description
Checklist
- I am using an up-to-date version.
- I have read the documentation.
- I have searched existing issues.
Description
Right now, the only details you get on the sidebar are with a single item selected.
When multiple items are selected, all you can see is a count for the selection total.
It would be far better to behave similar to Windows Explorer's details. Instead of showing nothing, it should show the same information, but the values are presented differently depending on what's selected. For comparison:
One disk selected:
2 items selected:
note how it keeps values that are shared across the selection, namely the Total Size, File system, and Bitlocker status.
Once the selection includes more items, the values stop being the same, and it instead simply replaces the value text with "(multiple values)", which is extremely intuitive.
Solution
Anywhere there is same information, it should be left alone. If it is different, the value of the text should say "(varies)" or "(multiple values)" or something similar. If they are all in the same folder, it should keep the folder visible. If they all have the same file extension, it should keep that visible.
And, most crucially, if they all share a tag, it too should remain visible. This would directly address the multi-removal issue I brought up in my other feature request, GH-1313.
