Hello, today I am facing the same issue : I am creating a project each time I want to check some code under a directory and that is really painful; it would be very helpful to be able to open a directory (like any other editor) and have some docked panel to navigate in.
Note that the "Files" tool window does not work for this if, like me, you are relying on it to open files, meaning it has to be not docked.
I was wondering if I was just missing something obvious here and if anyone had any clue for this.
All the best.
