File Manager Enhancement

16 votes

In the File Manager, the text entered into the search bar does not clear after clicking the magnifying glass. This behavior is confusing for users and often leads them to believe the site is not functioning correctly, as it is not obvious that they must manually clear the search field before performing another action. The search bar should be coded to automatically clear after the search is executed.
Additionally, when navigating to zipped folders, the interface gives the impression that users can click the folder title to open or download it. When hovering over the title, the cursor changes to a hand and the text becomes underlined, suggesting it is a clickable link. However, clicking the title does nothing. Users must instead click the selection bubble to the left and then click the title or the download button to initiate the download.
To reduce confusion, I recommend either removing the selection bubbles altogether or eliminating the hover effect and underline on the titles so they are not visually presented as clickable links.
