Ipfs-webui: Files: missing actions in folder context menus

[lidel]

I noticed some actions are available via bottom drawer menu (when selecting a single folder), but are missing from the context menu (file list, breadcrumbs):

Any reason we should not show the same actions in both places?

I did quick check and drawe menu actions work as expected:

• :green_heart: Share link of a folder works as expected
• :green_heart: Download of a folder works as expected with fix from #1630
• :green_heart: Delete of a folder works as expected
• :green_heart: / :broken_heart: Rename of a folder works fine, unless the directory is named test :upside_down_face: (or is it just me?)

Maybe you already had a directory called test?

AFAIK absolutely no reason not to put those options in right-click context menu ... if they work.

Added labels to this, moved it into "Quick Fixes" and the v2.12 milestone -- let's discuss if this doesn't seem viable.

cc @Swedneck – do you have similar issue with rename?

[rafaelramalho19]

@jessicaschilling I would change this to v2.11.2, since this is a important patch before next desktop release

Sounds good.

1405 looks pretty similar

@jessicaschilling I see the "bottom drawer menu" in the illustration above, but how do you get that in the Files page of the webui? When I click on anything in the list, it drills into it if a directory or displays it if a file. What's the magic to just "select" it to see the bottom drawer menu?

@ldeffenb The checkboxes to the left of each item in the list enable you to select multiple (or even just one) items and act on them:

@jessicaschilling Wow, NOW I see the checkbox. My monitor's contrast and brightness were causing all of the lightly colored objects to all but disappear. I could barely make out the "Browse" button and knew there was an entry field to the left of it. But there was absolutely no trace of the checkbox. I opened the same page on another machine and boom, the box(es) were there. Then I played with the monitor contrast setting so I can now actually SEE the subtle items. And strangely, I had to reduce the contrast from 100 to 50 to bring them to visibility. A Samsung LS24E370DL HDMI monitor, not a cheap knockoff.

All is good now. Thanks and I'm looking forward to the next update that fixes the menus I'm used to working with.

@ldeffenb -- that's actually very valuable feedback, thank you! Noting it in our holding pen for visual accessibility fixes.
