Thumbnails for folders in File Browser

Hi everyone,

***this is not my idea but I have the same opinion.

It would be great, if blender previews files like Windows does, in windows you can easily see what inside the folder without opening it by showing custom icons or thumbnails for folders.. I wish to see this in Blender file browser .

I made a rough design for this

for example it can look like this

Also single click to open the folder

* @mrajendra2150 * Double-click to open exists so that we can select multiple folders, copy, cut, paste etc. with single clicks. This is how it works in Windows, OSX and most other folder interfaces and most likely will not change.

Sounds like a good suggestion! If you designed an icon for this there's a higher chance this proposal would get noticed. It's hard for anyone to action on it without showing how it could work in the Blender visual ecosystem itself.

* @Logan Preshaw * Thanks I will try... but I really find it strange that blender doesn't have this feature that even krita has ..
