This is a suggestion for a new feature:

At work, I noticed that Microsoft SharePoint / OneDrive has a usability feature
I actually like. *New* folders and files are marked with a special indicator
(three small lines). This makes it very easy to spot them in the folder view.
Here are a few screenshots (taken from the web) illustrating how it looks:

According to the documentation
(https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-do-the-onedrive-icons-mean-11143026-8000-44f8-aaa9-67c985aa49b3#ID0EBH=Web),
the three lines are called ‘glimmer marks’.

I don’t have any strong preferences regarding the implemention, e.g., how the
indicator should look (though I find the sparkling ‘glimmer marks’ very
intuitive), or what ‘new’ should be (created in the last 24 hours, created in
the current session, perhaps also including ‘recently modified’ files?). But I
find the actual feature very useful, as it makes it easier and faster to find
the folders/files one is *most likely* to open/edit, without having to sort by
‘last modified’.
