The current version of the document browser does not display the number of
files in a folder. By giving a hint on the files in a folder, ideally
recursively, a user is able to determine whether or a folder is worth looking
at. This indication thereby helps when having forgotten the actual path of a
particular file. Also the number of default folders in Android result in a
large number of folders holding no viewable documents.
I guess such an indicator would have to analyse the file tree recursively to
come up with a valuable conclusion, otherwise folders lack an indicator whilst
further down in the tree document actually exist.
Possible implementations can vary in complexity:
- A visual hint whether documents are present (binary), possibly per file type.
- A count of the number of documents, possible per file type.
A suggestion is the way Microsoft uses content hints in their operating system,
although this covers a larger variety of possible content.
(observed on Android 5.0.1 on a Nexus 5, installed via F-Droid)
