Summary
The project explorer's right-click context menu on folders currently only shows 'New file', missing a 'New directory' option for creating folders directly from the UI.
Problem
Users cannot create new directories (folders) directly via the file explorer context menu. They must either create a file and reorganize, or use external tools. This is a common feature in IDEs and is especially expected on Windows (coming from Sublime Text experience).
Expected behavior
When right-clicking a directory in the file tree of the project explorer pane, a 'New directory' option should appear alongside the 'New file' option, allowing users to create new folders directly.
Actual behavior
Right-clicking a directory in the file tree only shows a 'New file' option; there is no 'New directory' option available.
Reproduction hints
- Open Warp project explorer
- Right-click on any folder in the file tree
- Observe that only 'New file' option is available
- Note the absence of 'New directory' or similar option

@orenmizr: @warpdotdev be honest - why put add new file to your amazing file browser menu and no add folder ? (coming from terax) on windows. warp open source can win the battle of the ide... falls on polish and upsells
@petradonka: @orenmizr @warpdotdev Do you mean this dropdown when right-clicking a folder in the project explorer sidebar? 👀 https://t.co/SNEHBsOjWh
@petradonka: @orenmizr @warpdotdev @ozdotdev can you fix this and add a "New directory" option next to the "New file" option when right clicking a directory in the file tree of the project explorer pane?
