I had an idea to improve navigation in nemo by extending its functionality. (similar like Windows Explorer)
Currently, toggling between the Tree View and Places sidebar feels inefficient, so I explored ways to enhance this experience. I kept the idea and the existing two levels of the side pane, but extended the tree view in the next levels showing the file system directories.
The feature van easy being switched on/off by setting the boolean sidebar->use_file_treeview = TRUE;
I also fixed some memory leaks in the existing implementation.
Key navigation similar to Windows Explorer is also possible with the arrow keys when the widget is active.
The TreeView supports lazy loading and update when the underlying filesystem changes.
Switching to display hidden files h filters also the displayed tree view.
