Describe the bug
When browsing folders in the left panel, you can't see where you currently are visually. It is conventional in UI design to highlight where you are to reduce a user's cognitive load.
To Reproduce
Use the location manager to explore your files.
Expected behavior
Put a shade over the folder you are currently in if the tree is expanded. Bonus points, put an outline around the parent folder if you're in a collapsed sub-folder.
Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
Desktop Application:
Linux Mint 21, Mate Desktop, Tagspaces 5.0.5
Additional context
I understand that TAGS are the priority for browsing files - it's the purpose of TagSpaces. But to boot strap things and APPLY tags at the start, we spend a LOT of time moving through folders and editing tags. Only after tags are rocking can we shift to a tag based exploration mode. During this early time (and it is a lot of time, much hard work), every small thing you can do to make working with conventional folders more efficient will be appreciated by users.

Hello, yes. The top level highlights but if you go into a folder by clicking in the left area, the sub-folders are unresponsive visually.
I have hundreds of folders with similar names, and this small detail burns end user time. And yes I drag and drop files from the middle gallery to the left bar, that's bare bones functionality. If one scrolls the left bar up or down, it's a high cognitive load to keep figuring out where you are so you can do your next task while working.
Since the very earliest UI's, highlighting your Present Working Directory in one way or another has been a standard courtesy.
It seems your team might not have realized that us users would gladly replace our file system file managers with TagSpaces for day to day work, but only if it could be brought to the right level of effectiveness and polish to replace the mundane file management workflows we require.
That's the promise I see in TagSpaces. If Windows or Linux or Mac could do good tagging in their file explorers, we wouldn't be here would we? 😄 I'd reinvent the product as a turbocharged file management tool if I were you guys. 😉 It's so close already...
