Preview of log/text files without sub-menu navigation in Drive Explorer in PAW

When using the Rich tier, it was easy to be able to review log files simply by opening the text file (via double click) in File Explorer. Now, we have to navigate to a preview via a menu or download the file before opening. It would be great if a preview button would immediately appear on the interface for log and text files, either natively in the interface next to a log file, and as a bonus in the blue pop-up menu when selecting a file, as this would be far more intuitive.

    We are considering additional enhancements for the Drive Explorer and File Manager.

    However, we will wait for additional feedback before considering a double click option to preview files. The current design patterns used in Workspace do not include double clicking labels to open other user interfaces. It's possible that we could display text files as a blue link.

    We will open a work item for the preview option appearing in the blue bar. However, this will only appear when a single file is selected and the single selected file is a text file (file with human readable text).
