codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex app: add a draggable workspace file tree/sidebar [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a persistent workspace file tree/sidebar in the Codex app with draggable files and folders would likely address the user's workflow issue.

Guidance

• Consider adding a file explorer component to the Codex app, similar to VS Code's file explorer, to provide a clear view of the current project files.
• Design the file tree to allow users to drag and drop files directly from the Codex app into other applications.
• Ensure the file tree includes functionality to reveal or open the containing folder, enhancing the user's workflow efficiency.
• Evaluate the feasibility of integrating this feature without requiring users to ask the agent to launch Finder, thus streamlining the file management process.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more technical details about the Codex app's architecture and technology stack.

Notes

The implementation details may vary based on the Codex app's underlying technology and design constraints. This suggestion assumes that adding such a feature is technically feasible and aligns with the app's development roadmap.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a persistent workspace file tree/sidebar with draggable items to enhance user workflow efficiency, as this directly addresses the described use case and improves the app's usability.
