[Cubxity]

Hi, thank you for contributing! Please mark the PR as draft if this is still W.I.P. Also, typstudio uses pnpm, please remove yarn.lock from the PR.

Material Icons.

Sidequestion: shouldn't you credit them?

[OlshaMB]

I think the pr is done. I also needed to add confirm dialog to ask before deletion.

[Cubxity]

Hey, can you rebase and resolve the conflicts?

[caoimhebyrne]

I have just a few nitpicks

[Cubxity]

I believe that creating directories and files should be hidden in a context menu. This removes clutter from the UI. Same goes for deletion.

@Cubxity Maybe show the icons only on hover?
This also will remove clutter, but unlike a context menu you would feel that you are creating it on a directory not on a file explorer

That sounds alright.

No, I am not planning, I am not interested in typst right now(waiting for html output) and there are too much changes to merge

[caoimhebyrne]

Ok, I will close the PR and open an issue for improving the file explorer.
