How to align the section titles of Folder Portals to the left

The titles are always middle, making it difficult to navigate back to the parent folder.

The middle titles often prevent me from smoothly navigating back to the parent folder, which is quite frustrating for me.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, there is no option to change the alignment of the Fences headers.

Thank you.

Hi Chongzhou,

Thanks for posting.  I now have this logged as a feature request for internal review.

Hello again,

In further consideration of the request, another thing to consider is there's also a Menu button in the exact location where you've suggested moving the navigation button. 

So, that could clutter things.  Happy to hear your thoughts on that. 

Also of note: another alternative option to consider for navigation could be using Alt + Up Arrow.  

Of course, we value further thoughts and feedback for what you'd like to see.

Thanks again,

Although you mentioned that there is a button, left alignment can still be on the right side of this button. These do not conflict. What I want is for you to provide an option to fix the ↑ symbol either at the far left or at a specific position in the middle. You need to understand that shortcuts won't be more convenient than clicking with the mouse, especially when I have multiple interfaces on desktop open.
Thank you.

Hi Chongzhou thanks again for the suggestion.

While making a change to the UI itself will be much trickier, we've added a new feature for an upcoming version that should help.

Starting with Fences v5.87 and onward, when you click the up arrow, it will remember the position the up arrow was in last so long as your mouse doesn't move a significant distance. This means that so long as the mouse does not move too much, even if the up arrow moves, clicking again in the same position will navigate upward.

We're aware this is unintuitive, but, hopefully it makes it easier for power users to get the job done in the meantime without an overhaul of the UI.

You will be happy to hear that v5.87 was released today, and does include the fix mentioned by Dr W.
