Plugin Features

General

You can use Evernote view, which shows folders and file list at the same time. Or simply turn it off to have separate views.
You can use Ribbon Icon to activate the File Tree Leaf in case you close by mistake. You can turn off ribbon icon from the plugin settings. It will only work if you closed the plugin view accidentaly or on purpose to build it back.

Folder Pane

You can see the number of notes under each folder within the folders view. You have an option if you want to see the number for notes or total files. You can also turn this function off completely.
You can also focus in and out to a certain folder, which will help you to save space in the folder pane:
The plugin remembers last expanded folders and last focused folder state to load for the following session in case you relaunch your vault.
You can define certain folder paths in plugin settings to exclude from main folder list. All subfolders are going to be excluded, as well.
You can turn on/off root folder within the file tree.
You can also customize the folder icons. Check the available options from plugin settings:

File List Pane

The plugin lists all files including the files under sub-folders. You can turn off this option from plugin settings if you want to see only the files under the folder you selected. You can also turn on toggle button from the plugin settings and it'll include an additional button (looks like an eye) to toggle files under sub-folders
The plugin allows you to Pin your favorite files to the top. They are saved for the following sessions.
You can define certain file extensions in plugin settings to exclude from listing in file explorer.
You can star/unstar your files in case you have Starred plugin turned on.
You can drop external files into file list to add the files into current active folder path.
You can turn on Search feature from plugin settings to filter files with their names.
- You can use all: syntax in search box to search files from all folders rather than the active folder.
