Please note, this GitHub issue is keeping track of two separate but related features. A Tree View sidebar, and a Tree View layout. We're currently working on the Tree View Sidebar, please see our latest update for more details #1928 (comment).
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Typically, I work in a project folder. That folder might have multiple sub folders like: images, src, prints, presentations. With Windows Explorer and Files, I must keep navigating in and out of folders. I want a view of all my files and folders in one view. Much like how VS Code's 'Explorer' handles files display and navigation, or how Mac's Finder handles.
Describe the solution you'd like
In list view, I'd like a tree navigation component for files allowing me to expand a folder to list is child files and folders (which can be expanded too)
Describe alternatives you've considered
None. I've tried for years now without this feature on Windows. Still miss it sorely from Mac.
Additional context
There is discussion on Reddit where someone looks for this feature on Windows.
I'm excited to share that a Tree View Sidebar is currently in development. We still have a lot of testing and code quality to work on, but we're looking forward to releasing this feature later this year.
Due to the fact that this issue is also being used to track requests for a Tree View Layout, I want to clarify that this doesn't mean we're not planning to add a Tree View Layout. We would very much like to support both Tree View features and we'll provide an update when we have more details to share.
If this feature is important to you, please consider supporting our work via GitHub sponsors.
