File Explorer

Browse and manage the Workspace project tree: open and edit files, create folders, rename, multi-select, and bulk-delete — all backed by the local Agent.

Overview

The file explorer shows the Workspace root as a navigable tree. Selecting a file opens it in the code editor; folders expand and collapse in place. All operations are performed by the local Agent against your filesystem.

Click a folder to expand it and a file to open it in an editor tab. The tree stays scoped to the Workspace root so you always have a stable project view while you work across device sessions.

Managing Files & Folders

  • Create folder — add a new directory anywhere in the tree.
  • Rename — rename files and folders in place.
  • Delete — remove a file or folder; see bulk delete below for removing many at once.
Note

When a Workspace is opened, NetStacks clears its screenshots directory so pasted images from a previous session don't accumulate. See Image Paste.

Multi-Select & Bulk Delete

Select multiple entries to act on them together — hold the platform modifier (Ctrl/Cmd) to toggle individual items, or use range selection for a contiguous block. With a selection active, a bulk delete removes every selected file and folder in one operation.

Warning

Bulk delete is immediate and operates on real files in the Workspace. Confirm the selection before deleting — deletions are not undone by NetStacks (use your Git history if the Workspace is a repository).

Q&A

Q: Can I recover a bulk-deleted file?
A: Not from NetStacks itself. If the Workspace is a Git repository, recover it from Git; otherwise rely on your own backups.
Q: Does the explorer follow files outside the Workspace?
A: The tree is scoped to the Workspace root. Open a different directory as a Workspace to work elsewhere.
  • Code Editor — edit the files you open from the tree.
  • Git — track and recover changes to Workspace files.
