List View gone in new Roku app?

We used the old Roku Plex app displayed by folder and filename listing.

In the new app we can still browse by folder, but not by filenames, at least not that I can find. All I can find are poster-like tiles. I am assuming the filename list option is gone?

Is there anyplace (Uservoice or ?) where enhancements can be suggested? Or is a post here in the forum the only way to make a feature request?

It’

s awkward, but you can still get to the list view…when you land on a media library, navigate to the far left and you’ll see an icon that looks like a bunch of little squares. Select that, and you’ll be in list view.

I think it’s just another case of the Roku team making a change for change’s sake…the new version is clumsy, awkward, and alienated long-time Roku users.

Thanks, but I still can’t find the file list view.

I go to my library, which is already set to folders (movies or folders are the two options), they are shown as cards/posters, across and down. They used to be single column of folder names. I can live with the folders like this. I drill into a folder and it’s the same, cards/posters across and down instead of a single column of the media filenames. That is what I really miss.

When I go to the cube of squares on far left menu bar, while still on a library or on a folder, it works the same - I move the cursor over it, and balloon text shows “browse”. I click that, and it takes me out of my library and to a page of currently watching, advertised titles, etc. I click it again and I’m back to my card/poster list of folders. The cube on the left doesn’t appear once I’m in a folder, it only appears when the folder card/posters are on display.

I’ve also tried the “*” while in various places in the library view and the folder view, but that didn’t yield anything either.
