Recently Files Tree

English Intro | 中文介绍

VS Code's built-in recent files list is sorted based on the order in which files were opened. This extension, however, unfolds recent files based on directory structure, making it easier to locate files.

Features

  • Sorts files by path: Organizes files according to their directory structure.
  • Supports bookmarking: Allows you to add files to a favorites list for quick access.
  • Supports filtering: Provides options to filter files based on specific criteria.

Comparison

VS Code default recent files:

  • Unorganized and chaotic

Default

This extension sorts files based on their paths rather than the order they were opened, making it more intuitive and organized.
