Auto upload: Hide suggested folders

[bertwesarg]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes. The Auto upload screen shows to many suggested folders. Thats because my photo app creates sub directories for 'burst pictures' Thus the list of suggested folders is constantly increasing. And because custom upload folders are at the end of the list. It is getting more more cumbersome to get to these folder.

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Put custom folders at the top of the 'Auto upload' list
2. Add option to 'Auto upload' screen to hide folder suggestions

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #2505 (tmp folder is filled by auto upload), #2951 (Selecting auto-upload folders is slow), #3095 (auto-upload ignores "subfolders" settings), #3137 (Auto upload -> select folder for remote folder -> see FAB), and #1447 (Feature request: "Would you like to auto upload this new folder").

1. Matter of sorting while active should be at the top, then followed by inactive both sorted alphabetically with custom folders at the top of both groups.

2. completely different topic which should be discussed separately and falls in to the discussion we are already having regarding a smarter filter for which folders to show and which to hide.

I think also inactive custom folders should be on top.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A possible alternative is to show in the main 'Auto upload' screen only configured folders. Than have the material '+' in the lower right corner. Suggestions can than be shown in the new 'Add new auto upload folder' wizard.

Looks like a reload already put the custom folders to the top.

This seems to be a duplicate of #3263 ?

Yes, as we discussed in the other issue.

• Step 1: Sort the folders in auto upload by most recent activity. That way the most relevant stuff is on top. (Alphabetic sorting makes little sense here)
• Special folders like Camera and Screenshots (if they exist) could always be at the top
• Additionally, we could hide completely irrelevant folders like music albums where there’s only one "cover.jpg" in it.

Yes it does, while it still sorts for active first then on each group puts custom folders on the top.
The reload is indeed a bug then and the sorting should be triggered right after the activation of the folder :/
Would you mind opening an issue for the refresh part please? ❤️

Done in #3456

Hiding of auto detected folders from the list is now best described in #3263, so closing this one.
