\title File System
\brief Shows all the files in the current directory.
\if defined(qtcreator)
\note Usually, \l{Navigate with locator}{searching with the locator}
is the fastest way to find a particular project, file, class, or function,
or almost anything else in your project. Use the \e {file system (f)} filter
to open files from anywhere in the file system.
\image qtcreator-filesystem-view.webp {File System view in the sidebar}
\else
\image qtcreator-filesystem-view-design.png {File System view}
\endif
To move to the root directory of the file system, select \uicontrol Computer
in the menu (1). Select \uicontrol Home to move to the user's home
directory. Further, you can select a project to move to an open project
or \uicontrol Projects to move to the directory specified in the
\uicontrol {Projects directory} field in \preferences >
\uicontrol {Build & Run} > \uicontrol General.
The file that is currently active in the editor determines which folder
to display in the \uicontrol {File System} view:
\list
\li \uicontrol Projects if the file is located in a subdirectory of the
\uicontrol {Projects directory}
\li \uicontrol Home if the file is located in the user's home directory
\li \uicontrol Computer in all other cases
\endlist
To stop the synchronization between the editor and the
\uicontrol {File System} view, deselect the \inlineimage icons/linkicon.png
(\uicontrol {Synchronize Root Directory with Editor}) button.
The view displays the path to the active file as bread crumbs. You can move
to any directory along the path by clicking it.
\section1 File System Context Menu
Use the context menu functions to:
\list
\li Open files with the default editor or some other editor.
\li Open a project located in the selected directory.
\li Show the file or directory in the file explorer.
\li Open a terminal window in the selected directory or in the directory
that has the file. To specify the terminal to use on Linux and
\macos, select \preferences > \uicontrol Environment >
\uicontrol System.
\if defined(qtcreator)
To use an \l{Terminal} {internal terminal}, select \preferences >
\uicontrol Terminal > \uicontrol {Use internal terminal}.
\endif
\li Search in the selected directory.
\li View file properties, such as name, path, MIME type, default editor,
line endings, indentation, owner, size, last read and modified
dates, and permissions.
\li Create new files. For more information, see
\if defined(qtdesignstudio)
\l{Adding Files to Projects}.
\else
\l{Create files}.
\endif
\li Rename existing files. To move the file to another directory, enter
the relative or absolute path to its new location in addition to the
new filename.
\li Remove existing files.
\li Create new folders.
\if defined(qtcreator)
\li Compare the selected file with the currently open file in the diff
editor. For more information, see \l{Compare files}.
\endif
\li Display the contents of a particular directory in the view.
\li Collapse all open folders.
\endlist
\if defined(qtcreator)
\section1 File System View Toolbar
The toolbar in the \uicontrol {File System} view has additional
options.
To manage view contents, select \inlineimage icons/filtericon.png
(\uicontrol Options):
\list
\li To hide the bread crumbs, deselect the
\uicontrol {Show Bread Crumbs} check box.
\li By default, the view separates folders from files and lists them
first. To list all items in alphabetic order, deselect the
\uicontrol {Show Folders on Top} check box.
\li To also show hidden files, select \uicontrol {Show Hidden Files}.
\endlist
To stop the synchronization with the file currently open in the
editor, deselect \inlineimage icons/linkicon.png
(\uicontrol {Synchronize with Editor}).
\sa {View CMake project contents}, {Projects}
\endif
