File explorer & external drag-drop

The file explorer lives on the left side of each worktree. It tracks your on-disk files in real time — create, rename, delete, and move all map to filesystem operations, so external changes (say, from the agent) show up instantly. Directory listings sort directories first, then files, with natural (numeric-aware) name order — 9, 99, 100 instead of lexicographic 100, 99. The same ordering applies to SSH, remote runtime, Source Control tree nodes, folder pickers, and the mobile file tree.

External drag-drop

• Drop files from Finder/Explorer into the file tree to copy them in.
• Drop an image into a markdown editor to insert it at the cursor.
• Drop files onto an agent terminal to paste their paths at the prompt.
• For SSH worktrees, drag-drop also works — DevAgent uploads the file to the remote host before completing the drop, so the agent sees the file as a real on-disk path.

Git status

Files are colored by git status — untracked, modified, staged, ignored. Right-click for the usual actions: discard, stage, rename, Copy Path, and Copy Relative Path (Cmd+Option+Shift+C / Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C by default; remappable).

Right-click a single file and choose Copy to place the file itself on the OS clipboard. For SSH worktrees, DevAgent first stages the remote file locally, then writes that staged file reference to the clipboard; remote folders are excluded.

Download (SSH / remote)

On the desktop app, right-click a remote file → Download, or a remote folder → Download Folder when the connection supports recursive transfer. DevAgent opens a native save/folder dialog. Not available in the web client. Local worktrees do not show this action.

Search a folder

Right-click a folder and choose Find in Folder to open Search with that folder already scoped. You can also select a folder in the file explorer and press Cmd-Shift-F on macOS or Ctrl-Shift-F on Windows and Linux.
