I would agree with Perry's suggestion and going a bit further I would like to suggest a couple of other improvements to the Jupyter file explorer: - a type field (.ipynb, .txt, .py, folder, etc) - a comment field, mostly blank expect for notebooks, then it would be the nb's metadata 'comment' field, if any. - the ability to sort the columns. - an omnibox to filter out anything that does not contain what the user types in - very convenient to search large directories.
This seems feasible with https://datatables.net/ and would probably make this 'home' page more user friendly. (I am working to deploy JupyterHub in a corporate LAN and must pay attention user experience - accustomed to Windows) Is there a particular reason why this page does not have the features above (or similar), except lack of time ? It seems to me the layout of this page is independent of the rest of the app. If I wanted (and dared to dive in) where in the code base should I look and modify? Would such a change be considered an improvement and susceptible to be accepted by the community ? Or would such an effort be considered wasted with the upcoming JupyterLab project ?
