      So, in the words of Doc. Brown: "Please excuse the crudity of the model" - I'm no artiste, dahling!

      The idea is that there is no hierarchy. That each colour represents a file type. That each dot - sorry I only did it for the yellowy area - represents a file, and that zooming out would present the file name, and clicking on it would open the file.

              @3arn0wl for me sunburst diagrams are nice to look at for the first days ... after that the become somehow annoying as it always takes to much time to get where you want. DaisyDisk for mac works in this way and by being a brilliant app from the esthetic graphical side its definitely not the fastest way of getting things done in a file manager ๐Ÿ˜‰ - but still nice looking though ...

                @3arn0wl I have more ยซproblemsยป for you to solve ๐Ÿ™‚

                • If you need to search for file ยซbuild . shยป how do you propose it would be done?
                • Saving (exporting) a file from an app to the file manager, how it would be handled?

                @Louies for you too ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

                • That icon set which license is published under?
                • How colors and shape would fit in Suru style?

                Thank you both

                  @elastic - so far as I know, this is just an exercise in lateral thinking... so I'm just offering an alternative solution. I hadn't particularly considered its merits...

                  @cibersheep -
                  0) I guess there would need to be a search box at the top...

                  1. Holding down a blob (file) would offer the options to move/copy/delete etc (as with the right-click options of Ubuntu desktop)

                    I rather like the filemanager, but would like to see it move away from the old humanity icon set, and even the orange folder theme. I like the more modern style that sam hewitt https://snwh.org/suru has made, although for the purposes of ubuntu touch we could modify the color away from orange. 0_1541369845862_Screenshot_2018-11-04_16-13-51.png

                      @mateo_salta the photo file & app file icon Because the color is too light or too bright, will not see the folder icon

                                Aaaand the time is up.
                                Thank you all indeed for joining this first experiment.

                                @3arn0wl I see your proposal as interesting but maybe in the information side. Maybe System-Settings > About > Storage
                                i could work there.

                                @mateo_salta I think the way to go with the icon set is feeding from upstream Suru project. You gave here a little twist with the colors. Conservative but effective ๐Ÿ™‚

                                    here is it! I took quite everything from suru-icon-theme. the video image could be not visible with SuruDark, but this was the color from video mimetype. in the music and models/templates I experimented a bit more with gradients making the back part of the folder more different from the near front part, a bit of contrast in addition...

                                      @mymike also I'm not very sure about the right and bottom folds, not originally present in the folder icon, but took from mimrtypes

                                        @mymike Very nice (you're late) I like the colors but not the folds. Good job (even you're late ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ :D)

                                          This is even later - well! you can't expect creatives to keep to deadlines! ๐Ÿ˜›

                                          A couple of ideas for a new desktop icon based on Suru:

                                          0_1544090029800_files.png

                                          0_1544090043300_files 2.png

                                          And the suggestion that the app just be called "Files", rather than the more cumbersome "File Manager".

                                          Also, I was wondering where the images came from on the documents themselves? And whether there were alternatives? The videos one is very orange...

                                            I like that icon.
                                            About the name, actually in the desktop is called Files.
