    In 2.3.1, as Adminstrator (Super User) I want to create a new directory in the file system. As an example, in the already existing directory assets/uploads (with rights 777) I want to create a subdirectory pdf.

    Some observations:

    (1)
    When I create the new directory in the Media Browser, it is created on the server correctly. But this modification will not be reflected in the Files tree on the left of the Manager; the directory assets/uploads/pdf doesn't show up there.

    (2)
    Creating the new directory in the Media Browser by right-clicking on the directory uploads and choosing Create Directory Here, the Parent Directory field is already prefilled with the value assets/uploads.
    But:
    When I try to create it in the File tree on the left of the Manager instead (by right-clicking on the uploads directory there and choosing Create Directory), the Parent Directory field contains "/". Overwriting this by assets/uploads results in the message "Specified parent directory is not a directory".

    These are bugs, aren't they?

        I can create directories the way you describe with no problem. I never see "/" in my parent field as a default in the popup window.

          The file trees in Revo have always been buggy right from the very start. You can't set the sort options, Revo constantly forgets which trees you have open and closes them when moving from documents, as soon as you close one document the tree resets to its default and all sorts of other annoying little quirks. I've learned to live with it and given up hope that these issues will ever be addressed.

            That's not entirely true, check: https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/pull/11845 for example

              Thank you, exside!
              It's great that you already have made such an effort to adress these problems. Let's hope that there will be improvements in the next version...
