The '''Explorer''' pane of the file view displays all local and network drives, removable media, and FTP accounts (if configured). This is similar to "My Computer" in Windows explorer. You can select multiple items in this pane with Ctrl + click or Shift + click and then act upon these items via the context menu.

For example, entering "*.html;*.php;*.js" would cause only files with an extension of ".html," ".php", or ".js" to be displayed in the Explorer tab. Click the [[File:UltraEdit explorer tab filters.png]] button to open a sub-menu where you can select and apply pre-defined filters, or create new ones. Click the "Edit list..." option to open the "Extension Groups" dialog and add new filters (INI format), using the existing ones as a template.

Shortcut: Ctrl+U

The file view is a child window that shows a tree-style display of files in several different panes ("Project," "Open," "Explorer," and "Lists"). You can toggle the file view in the Layout tab.

In UEStudio, the file view is called the Workspace manager.

Project pane

The Project pane of the file view displays all files and folders in the active Project with the project name listed at the top. If no project is currently opened, this pane will be empty. Much of the functionality in this pane is accessed via the context menu.

If there is no project loaded, double-clicking the empty Project pane will open the "Open project" dialog.

You can drag-and-drop file tabs to the Project pane to add them to projects or project groups.

Top-level context menu

With a project open, you can right-click on an empty space in the Project pane or on the project name to access the following items:

Explore Opens Windows explorer window to active project directory.

Edit project file Opens active project file (INI-based) in editor.
Add folder... Opens New folder dialog for adding a folder from the file system to the project.
Add group... Opens dialog allowing you to specify name of a new group (virtual) folder for the project. Group folders are not "real" folders but act as containers within the project.
Add new file... Opens dialog allowing you to specify name of a new file which will be added to the project.
Add active file Adds file currently open in the edit window to the active project.
Add all open files Adds all currently open files to the active project.
Add files to project... Opens file browser where you can choose files to be added to the active project. If no group is selected in the "Project group" drop down, the selected file(s) will be added to the root of the project.
List files in project Opens dialog listing all files in the project, including files from all subfolders. You can filter files by typing them in the "Quick file search" field. Multiple files may be selected via Ctrl or Shift + mouse click. Click the "Open" button to open all selected files.

Explorer pane

The Explorer pane of the file view displays all local and network drives, removable media, and FTP accounts (if configured). This is similar to "My Computer" in Windows explorer. You can select multiple items in this pane with Ctrl + click or Shift + click and then act upon these items via the context menu.

Double-clicking a file in the Explorer pane will open that file in UltraEdit / UEStudio for editing. You can also drag-and-drop one or more files from the Explorer pane into the edit window to open them.

Double-clicking a folder in the Explorer pane will navigate into that folder. If in split view, double-clicking the ... folder at the top of the list in the bottom split will navigate up one directory.

The filter field at the top of the Explorer pane allows you to apply a file filter. For example, entering "*.html;*.php;*.js" would cause only files with an extension of ".html," ".php", or ".js" to be displayed in the Explorer tab. Click the UltraEdit explorer tab filters.png button to open a sub-menu where you can select and apply pre-defined filters, or create new ones. Click the "Edit list..." option to open the "Extension Groups" dialog and add new filters (INI format), using the existing ones as a template.

The UltraEdit explorer tab split.png button at the top right of the Explorer pane allows you to toggle split explorer view where the lower pane shows the contents of the selected folder or drive as shown in the screenshot.

  1. Tags
  2. Res
  3. Files

Files tab

The Files tab activates all of the file view functionality described above. In addition to this, UEStudio provides extended functionality for folders and files under Git, CVS, and Suversion.

CVS and Subversion files and modules in the Project, Open, and Explorer panes will be shown with colored overlays to indicate their status in the CVS / Subversion repository. These are as follows:

Color Meaning
Green file/module is up-to-date and unmodified
Blue file/module is not currently under CVS control
Yellow file/module is modified
Red file/module contains a conflict

Below these items, globals (functions, labels, macros, and variables) will be listed as well. If you double-click on a displayed symbol, UEStudio will jump to the corresponding source file and line where the symbol is defined or declared. In UEStudio, this is designed to supersede the Ctags mechanism used in UltraEdit.
