Description

How to use GitHub

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This is a feature request.

When using groupfolders, the folder icon in the Files App clearly shows which folders are group folders.
After marking one (or multipe) files and usig the "Action..." and "Move/Copy" Entry, the resulting Dialog "Chose target folder" do not clearly show Group folders as such (e.g. the Group folder icon ist not shown, onle the default folder icon).

Describe the solution you'd like
I expect the group folders in the "Choose target folder" to be clearly visibla as group folder, displaying the group folder icon.

Describe alternatives you've considered
none,

Research direction

Start in the Files App's Move/Copy action and the "Choose target folder" dialog, then trace how group folders are represented there compared with the normal folder view. Done means the dialog visibly distinguishes group folders with the group-folder icon, including when multiple files are being moved or copied.
