Description

its a common behaviour in pc file manager adding a mark/color on last item selected/opened.

images-1

would be nice if implemented here as well.

example situation:
1.using material files
2.browsing a bunch of video files
3.switch to fullscreen media player
4.the video is crappy, i want to delete it
5.go back to material files
6.umm... which files is that again, there is no clear indication for previous action
7.you can manually mark via long press or remember the exact file position before switching to another app but this is cumbersome

thanks in advance

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how Material Files records the current item when opening the media player and how the file list is restored; done when the last selected or opened item is visibly marked after returning.
