@chl Right now Comments can be displayed in the right side details menu. Perhaps it could one day become possible to display this first when selecting a file or folder, but this functionality is definitely backburner as Talk gets all the improvements afaik. Also want to link this to the previous comments discussion. You could file a request for this feature on Github.
I thought I once created an issue, which then went down as a feature request. Unfortunately I can’t find it, so I guess not. So maybe again. I need such a feature and would be willing to invest something, work or money.
