Description

I just read in the 1.6.0 changelog the MaterialV2 design theme will be retired with 1.7.0

Apart from features I really liked that Material Files still offered MaterialV2 as I genuinely dislike MaterialV3. It is overly clunky, wastes tonnes of space, and the combination of spherical and "rounded corner" elements.... Anyways

Is there a chance to have MaterialV2 - if not as the primary, default design - as the optional opt-in design? Basically the way it is now but in reverse?

I know designs change and usually for the better and I probably look like the boomer who can't accept things change but I just don't see what's improved in usability or UI-design in V3 over V2.

To me Material Files is really quite perfect the way it is now.
