Descriptions in file explorer

[FreHu]

Is it possible to extend the file explorer to show object descriptions next to the file name the same way it is in eclipse?

hmm, perhaps add a new tree view, and a view container,

Hmm, my first instinct was not to reinvent the view, but then again, abap files should be grouped under their main object - this would make it easier to browse. Also many operations in abap work on object level, for example to move a class between packages actually involves moving several files, so it would also make sense to execute other commands from there in the future.

yes, I think it will be worth trying

@marcellourbani I guess something similar could be nice for the remote file extension?

Interesting idea, but you end up with 2 views of the same data, and don't really like the eclipse ux anyway. Yes, seeing the descriptions would be interesting
