### Show Assets in Sub-Folders

Right click on a folder and toggle **Show items in sub-folders**. When enabled (the default) the asset browser shows *all* assets that are anywhere below a selected folder. When disabled, only the assets that are directly inside the a selected folder are shown. Assets that are in a sub-folder are not displayed. This behavior is more like a typical file explorer.
The **eye button** to the right of the search field, toggles which assets are shown. If it shows the *open eye*, the asset browser displays *all assets* below the currently selected folder, if it shows the *closed eye*, only the files directly inside the selected folder are shown. The former mode makes it easy to find assets for which you only roughly know where they are, the latter mode is more useful when you have many assets and you only want to see the ones from a specific folder.

When any search term is entered into the text box, automatically all files are displayed.

Some people prefer one mode or the other as their default, which is why this setting is saved and restored between editor runs.
