Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Apply to

  • folders (first level)
  • sub(folder) items
  • file name
  • file extension

Might also be good to apply this to the Enumeration control, or (if possible) we might even remove the need for that control. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/28088#issuecomment-1692580090

Scenario when this would be used?

Makes sense. Don't need ambiguous icons.

Contributor guide
