UX Suggestion: Merge Assets folders and files into a singular TreeView

22 Jul 2024, 11:20

Heya!

The more I've been using Studio, the more I've been getting annoyed by the UX of the Assets panel. Specifically, that the folder structure is in a separate view from the assets structure. It's the first time I've ever encountered such an approach to folder/file organization in a design tool and it messes up my workflow. Every time I click on one of the asset folders my expectation is that it'll expand and I'll see the folder's files underneath it.

There are plenty of benefits to this:
- Clear view of the full hierarchy
- Search will be global by default instead of first requiring me to select the root folder
- Singular view means being able to see more folders and files at the same time, compared to being split into two views
- Easier to move files and folders around as well

I've attached a quick mockup.
