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.
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.
With a project loaded, 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. |
