Feature: RTL interface

[sofianhit]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

hi
I wish this application was compatible with right-to-left languages. For example, I use Windows with a right-to-left language.
The vertical sidebar list is on the right side .
can you please add this feature ?
i cant purchase the app without RTL direction .
thanks

Requirements

1- move the sidebar menu ( that display files and folders on the left side ) to the right side .
2- move the main big section (that show hard desks and all folders + files) to the left .
3- let tabs start from the right (first tab open on the right not on the left)
4- the options , arrows and buttons start from right to left .

Files Version

3.7.11.0

Windows Version

10.0.19045.5131

Comments

I thought we already do this? If not we need extra care to sidebar visual states, while other WinUI controls support RTL such as Breadcrumb, TabView, AppBar, ListView and GridView afaik

We already do, but the code stopped working after the upgrade to WASDK.

FYI microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#8746

Will your words make me feel hopeless about this matter?
I see many programs and browsers that I use daily go from right to left automatically immediately after installation.
Will this feature return to the program again or not?
Is the program developer interested in doing this task?

@XTorLukas has a workaround but I think he's still working on it.

i hope finish it soon .

very thanks

I'm still working on it, but I have many more serious issues to deal with.
First of all, of course, I need to fix any problems with incompatible GUI components. The problem occurred after switching to WASDK.

I wish you success and good luck.
I hope that the mission will be completed soon with full success.
Because the matter is important for those who use languages ​​that have a right-to-left direction.

very thanks
