See demo

Filemanager improvements

Filemanager actions were added in Files 0.3.0, but there was some missing functionality.

• New folder-actions button in topbar allows all actions for current directory.
• Access file manager actions for current dir by right-clicking empty space in layout.
• Access file manager options for root by right-clicking empty space in folders menu.
• Fixed bug when attempting to upload to root because $path was empty.
• Filemanager action prompts now include the name and path of the affected item.
• If there are no folders (no menu), page will refresh to display menu after creating first folder.

New Javascript config

Added new Javascript config options to allow tweaking of advanced Javascript-only interface options. These options are separated from the main config to avoid cluttering with advanced options that most users don't need, and to allow access to native Javascript functions. There are already many options, with many more to be added in future releases for advanced functionality.
