What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

So by default, When you hide a folder in Files, it only hides the folder but what if you want to hide the folder, the subfolders & the files than in the folder so I'm proposing something; either when you click the "Hidden" attributes it will pop up the legacy menu "How would you like your folder to be hidden"...
I'm referring to this:

Or we could make a new pop up menu that basically just the legacy pop up menu but it polished, modern and align with Files design...
it will look something like this:

But it use the WinUI 3 design instead (You know what I mean).

Requirements

1- Identify the "Hidden" Attribute:

  1. Open Files and navigate to the folder you want to hide.
  2. Right-click on the folder and select "Properties."
  3. In the Properties window, locate the "Attributes" section.

2- Choose the Hiding Option:

Option 1: Legacy Menu:

  1. Tick the "Hidden" checkbox.
  2. A pop-up menu will appear asking how you want the folder to be hidden.
  3. There would be two options:
    a. Hide the folder, subfolders, and files.
    b. Hide the folder only.

Option 2: New Pop-up Menu:

  1. Tick the "Hidden" checkbox.
  2. A modern, polished pop-up menu will appear with the following options:
    a. Hide only this folder.
    b. Hide this folder, subfolders, and files.
