File Manager Improvement Ideas

[IniBudi]

Hi, I would like to give some ideas for improving the file manager on Cloudron.

It would be nice if there was an option to extract and compress files.

And then sometimes I need to change the permission of the files.

It would be easier if we could set the permission using File Manager.

The last is the temp folder. So, If we delete something it won't be deleted until we decide to delete the files permanently on the temp folder.

And these ideas come from the cPanel file manager btw. Thank you Cloudron Team.

If you right click on a file or click on the three dots on the right, you get these options.

Unless I misunderstood your request.

Yeah, I was going to say the same as @girish - it's already possible both to extract files and to change ownership.

However, this is a quirk that I think could be improved:

If I upload a .zip it gets www-data ownership. But then after extracting it the extracted folder is owned by root and then needs changing to www-data. It's be better if it was just www-data in the first place.
