About this plugin

If you work with dsh-better-sidebar day-to-day, you have probably hit the same wall: the built-in Explorer lets you browse the file tree but offers no way to actually manage files—no upload, no move, no rename, no delete. dsh-sidebar-Explorer-Plus is a consumer plugin built to close exactly that gap. It registers a Files tab through better-sidebar's public registerTab service, adding the missing write operations without touching a single line of better-sidebar's source code.

The plugin covers the everyday file-management workflow: drag and drop any file type (text, images, PDFs, binaries) into a target directory; drag an entire folder and have it land with its original directory structure intact; drag a file or folder onto another directory to move it (conflicts are skipped, never overwritten); right-click to rename or delete (with a confirmation prompt, recursive for folders); and create a new subfolder under the selected directory. Every operation is constrained to the current project's working directory and shares the same browser-trust guardrails as the /api layer, so directory traversal is not an option.

It is ideal for developers who already use dsh-better-sidebar and want to upload, reorganize, and clean up files without leaving the IDE sidebar. Once installed, a Files tab appears in the sidebar—open and use immediately, with no build step required.

Use Cases

  • Drag and drop documents, images, or binaries into the project directory in bulk
  • Organize, rename, and delete workspace files without opening a terminal
  • Upload an entire folder preserving its structure to a designated project path

Best For

  • Developers already using dsh-better-sidebar who need file write operations
  • Engineers who want to upload and organize files within the IDE sidebar
  • Developers who prefer GUI-based file management to reduce terminal context-switching
