Snacks.explorer with edgy - can't filter by filetype since it's not unique

[Ajaymamtora]

snacks_picker_list is the filetype when in explorer, which isn't unique so can' define a slot for it in edgy. Is there a way to solve this?

For example, for neo-tree i had

  {
    title = "Neo-Tree",
    ft = "neo-tree",
    pinned = true,
    open = "Neotree position=left",
    wo = {
      signcolumn = "no",
      -- winhighlight = "WinBarNC:Normal,WinBar:Normal,Normal:HomebaseOpaque",
    },
    size = {
      width = 65,
    },
  },

snacks_picker_list Is the explorer ft which is also applied to regular pickers.

Try ft = "snacks_layout_box"

that ft doesn't really work. What worked for me was:

{
        title = "Explorer",
        pinned = true,
        ft = { "snacks_picker_list", "snacks_picker_input" },
        open = function()
          require("snacks.explorer").open()
        end,
      }

However, I'm not using the snacks picker, so this probably will conflict with that

@jackielii This ^ only partially works - bounds calculation and everything that depends on the underlying win will behave unexpectedly due to Edgy.View.ft being handled as string and not a list:
When Layout.update runs it maps filetypes to open wins and now when the EdgeBar goes through it's update process it tries to get the win associated with
{ "snacks_picker_list", "snacks_picker_input" } which there are none, but there are windows associated with each of the filetypes separately.

Depending on your configuration, there are 3 wins with 3 different filetypes on their buffers - 'snacks_layout_box', 'snacks_picker_list', 'snacks_picker_input'

try this one

         {
            title = 'File Explorer',
            ft = 'snacks_layout_box'
            pinned = true,
            open = function()
              Snacks.explorer()
            end,
            filter = function(buf, win)
              return vim.api.nvim_win_get_config(win).relative == ''
            end,
          },

The filter function excludes all floating windows with buffers that have ft of snacks_layout_box
The problem is it grabs all snacks_layout_boxes, not just the one for Snacks.explorer, so it might still clash with other open pickers. I didn't have any issue so far with that, but I didn't test all cases.
If there is an issue then you can probably expand the filter by getting all active explorer pickers with Snacks.picker.get({ source = 'explorer' }) and then checking the layout for the tested window in p.layout.wins
