Folders need a MASSIVE improvement

Adobe, please prioritize improving the UI for folders. In a complex project with a lot of folders, subfolders and sub-sub folders they are almost unuseable in their current state. No indentation, UI jumps around when you open or close one so while searching you quickly lose track of which one you opened, no easy way to see which layers are children of others etc. etc. The only organizational tool right now is colors, which helps but is still completely insufficient. Not everyone even names folders and layers properly, so picking up another artist's work in particular can be a nightmare made almost impossible by the lack of a decent UI design for this CORE part of the Substance workflow. Even Photoshop has better UI design that this.

Hi again Steve,

 

Thank you for the suggestion, I can definitely see how folders can become messy with big projects. I'm putting this on our list of feature requests.

 

On a side note, for users who may watch this thread, do no hesitate to like @Steve5D7C 's post (or any other suggestion post) if you want to push the potential feature. We watch this kind of metrics.

 

Best regards,
