Could we get the ability to change icons of Folders? My main idea is to use icons of other Instances (in order to not consume a lot of resources and keep the Explorer similar-looking (to keep people from going crazy with the icons)). In order to not confuse ourselves, each Folder with custom icon would have a small Folder icon in the right bottom corner as well so it is clear it is not the depicted Instance itself.
Folders are famous for being the simplest Instance in Roblox (as far as I know), not holding much data itself and thus ideal for organization. To keep this purpose, Folders without custom icon wouldn’t have such property actually stored - it would be just the Properties window showing it as empty (nil). In case these icons would stay Instance-based, the actual options could be a list (dropdown) of Instance Classes available in Roblox (plus “nil” or “empty” or smt). In case you (Roblox) would decide that allowing us to use images uploaded to Roblox as icons is a good idea, the property being of a string? type could work as well.
One of the advantages, among others, would be developers not using the actual instances for better organization (see image bellow).

Another idea would be allowing the same thing for ModuleScripts as well but I am not so sure about this one myself. This one is not really necessary - especially with the new require-by-string update which allows us to require Folders (basically).
New issue ive noticed is that the explorer will slow down whenever you try doing anything in it depending on it’s size. The bigger it is, the slower it gets.
Microprofiler screenshot of me scrolling in the explorer. Explorer being roughly 460x900:
CTRL + D duplicate not working when Im in script. When Im scripting and want to create duplicate of something, it doesn`t work. Only when I close the script (open workspace).
idk about the new style, looks too basic and user friendly, it needs customization to look like the old one cuz thats what im used too, the font size is too big, same with the right click menu, it looks worse there
It’s a rather recent bug that has plagued the old explorer and apparently is also in the new explorer, it selects ALL instances from below the thing you selected… for no reason.
So there’s this bug that I encountered after using the reclass plugin on a Frame with UICorner, that makes it not possible to see children of an instance? Reopening studio solved the issue.
Getting the same error here, except I was just searching for is:MeshPart and I was collapsing folders which I’ve already went through. I was only removing instances (via Ctrl + X aka cutting) then stopping the search, paste those instance into a storage folder, then repeat.
This causes the top ancestor that you were going through to just show blank space rather than show its children when it’s expanded
