Add "Date modified" column to File Manager and FileDialog

[josephjeno]

It would be very helpful if OS.js included a Date modified column. We use a few apps in OS.js that generate long, very similarly named MATLAB files. Before long it becomes difficult to navigate.

The VFS file objects have timestamps, so it could be added as a column:

• https://github.com/os-js/osjs-filemanager-application/blob/master/index.js#L162
• https://github.com/os-js/osjs-filemanager-application/blob/master/index.js#L467

The stat property of a VFS file contains the following: https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_class_fs_stats

It would probably be best to make this column trigger via an application setting that is selectable from a menu or something.

Just because the columns cannot currently be resized, and the date string might be pretty long.

[josephjeno]

Maybe some sort of right click context menu on the column headers?

Or maybe just the "View" menu 🤔

I've started on this here: #12

However, this application needs a bit of a cleanup as well as persistent settings 🤔

[andersevenrud]

@josephjeno I've started a refactor of this application here: #14

This will be included in that update :)

[andersevenrud]

@josephjeno Feel free to test out that branch for yourself. I think I got everything working as it was, but needs testing 🙂

[josephjeno]

Ran it through the paces this morning and everything works great after the cleanup. Persistent settings would be awesome. Currently it forgets my view settings (show hidden files, show date column) after closing and reopening the app.

[andersevenrud]

Cool! Persistent settings is supported in apps, so technically I just have to wire it up and run a save method. I'll fix that asap :)

[andersevenrud]

@josephjeno I just pushed another commit that makes settings persistent. So if you wanna give that a go, it's there waiting for you ;)

Should I make it so that all open FileManager instances gets updated whenever you change a setting ? 🤔

Edit Added just in case (but disabled) in a6c6e83 😊
