Long click on a file should allow to mark it as a favorite

[tobiasKaminsky]

If you want to mark multiple files as favorite it is time consumption to first open the detail page and then select "keep file uptodate".
@jancborchardt What do you think?

[jancborchardt]

Long-press should select the file and initiate multiselect-mode. That would then also allow you to batch-favorite files.

Currently after long pressing a context menu is displayed. And in this context menu the "keep file uptodate" should be visible.
Then one could use this faster.

[jancborchardt]

Yeah, that’s what currently happens. However, because it seems convention to have:

• the context menu displayed when clicking on »three dots« to the right of an item/row
• batch selection mode initiated when you long-press on an item

We should change to those paradigms. What do you think?

[jancborchardt]

Ah wait – I misread. You mean simply adding »Keep file up to date« to the long-press menu, right? In this case yes, I’d agree. ;)

[jancborchardt]

However, we need to switch from long-press menu to three-dots menu.

[rperezb]

Thanks, is it to ok to focus here on just adding the keep-up-to-date option to the long press menu over files?
Besides, could it be a good idea to rename it, everywhere, to favorite?
IT was talked previously and this is how it is called on the iOS app

@jancborchardt about the three-dots menu I will create a new issue

[jancborchardt]

Yeah, let’s rename it to »Favorite« everywhere.

It is done in #1050 .
