Feature request: 'Folder' column

Bourde

You know what would be a useful and simple addition? Having as a column the folder to which the item belongs, without having to click on each item and search visually through the folder tree (which sometimes runs long). Eg., it would be very useful when one looks at duplicates, they could quickly see the location of items. Does this make sense?

Items can be in any number of collections, so a column doesn't really make sense.

Can't many items display in one column, separated by commas? Additionally, is it feasible to identify duplicates within a collection? I observed that the Chrome plugin overlooks whether the imported item already exists in the specific library, not just the entire library.

What would be useful would be a Collections tab on the right side. Example code to list the collections to which a selected item belongs already exists, but must be run under Tools\Developer\Run Javascript, which makes it a bit impractical:

But if anyone is looking to get into plugin writing, that example would make a simple starting point; for example using @windingwind 's plugin template methodology (which includes a tab example).
