Request functions in Files

[rikyulin]

I want to request some functions:

1. Column to view owner/group of files / folder in List View of Files
2. "Copy to" functions with path to copy direct to destination
3. Zip/unzip

Hey @rikyulin Thanks for this.

1. Owner / group in list view
   Planned. List is name / size / type / modified today; we’ll add owner/group there. Needs the listing to carry those fields (and names, not just ids), so it won’t be in the very next build, but it’s on the Files work.

2. Copy to a path
   That’s different from Copy to Server (send a local file to another host). You already have the better path: select the file(s) → Ctrl+C or right-click Copy, go to the destination (same host, another host, or local) → Ctrl+V or right-click Paste.

3. Zip / unzip
   Not in Files as extract-on-the-host yet. Zync runs on your machine, so zipping by pulling files down and pushing them back would be slow and wasteful. If the host has tar / zip / unzip, we can run those on the server so nothing has to round-trip. There’s already Download as Archive (.tar.gz) if you just need a copy on your PC. A Files plugin is possible later; not required for the on-host path.

No dates on 1 yet - tracking it here. If zip on host is the one you hit every day, say so.

Appreciate you using Zync :)
