This only works as long as the folder uses a standard icon, the user can choose any icon for these.

Thanks for the feedback

It's fine for someone to use an icon other than the classic folder icon.
But if they use an icon for folders that's indistinguishable from files... that's their psychologist's problem.

I wont comment on the icon choices of others lol. But the Chevron symbol is recognisable as opening another level of thing, be it menus and drop downs, or navigation items.

So that is why we indicate a difference in function between files and folders, and don't just rely on icons to indicate intent.

The chevron is an important indicator that it opens the folder in a new column.
