Imagining if the number of playlists inside a folder is very large, this "expand" mechanism seems not ideal.
Suggested Solution
This is a refinement suggestion for no. 1 here : #806 (comment). I'm not sure if you'll read it if I leave a comment there, so I created this new issue instead.
Currently, the latest version uses an "expand" mechanism. What if we use breadcrumb navigation instead?
At the initial position (before clicking any folder), use the library icon in the breadcrumb. Then, when a folder is clicked, it enters that folder, and the folder name appears next to the library icon as part of the breadcrumb.
Users can return to the initial position by clicking the library icon, and enter another folder by clicking its name.
With this approach, if there are many playlists inside a folder (for example, dozens or hundreds), it won't be an issue.
Even if you want to use a different approach, as long as the goal remains the same, that's fine. For example, by adding a left arrow in the top-left corner as a back button after entering a folder.
Which one do you think looks better? You can also keep the current one, but there are a few other considerations that might be worth thinking about.
