    How do I change the parent directory/top level folder. We have SharePoint Online, we made the mistake of making our parent folders to long and now it's causing character limit issues when we try to make new files deep within the folder structure. Please see address:C:\Users\TTran\Buckson Landscape Architecture\Buckson Landscape Architecture - DocumentsAs you can see, our top level folders are "Buckson Landscape Architecture" followed by Buckson Landscape Architecture - Documents"We need to rename both of these but how?

    when will the Parent Folders change "modified date"?

    Hi 158trop

    Yes, that is correct, this has always been the case, it is probably documented somewhere, but I could not find that, but logically, if the contents of a folder change, then that counts as a change to the parent folder also and strangely, the parent of that folder does not change its modified date, so it seems to only affect one level of directory in Windows

    Thanks buddy! Yea, this section's not dead. Kreij and I have big plans for this section. I don't want to give nothing away, but we have some bigger projects down the road. *Toast :toast: I feel I'm pretty good at coding with different languages, but I'm well behind Kreij's level of experience with those other Languages. I've been working on those other languages, and soon I'll feel comfortable enough to start, and not feel like I'm holding the project back. *Toast :toast:

    Now on to your suggestions.

    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that? Yea, that's been bothering me and I like your suggestion "Add Folder". I'll change it on the next release.
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs) I could add this, but let me see if I understand what you're asking. By subfolders you mean add all the folders in the left panel to the right panel? Those folders are all the subfolders in the "Get folder".
    • maybe you also add export list to excel? I'll add this on the next release.
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too? I'll add this on the next release.
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories? I'll add this on the next release.
    These are all great suggestions! Thanks Drone! *Toast :toast:
