Set a folder Icon

To set the icon of a folder you need to:

1. Right-click the desired folder(s)
2. Navigate to Set Folder Icon submenu
3. Chose the desired icon

Plugin settings

The plugin’s settings can be found under Editor Preferences → Out-of-the-Box Plugins → Folder Icons and has the following properties:

• Path Assignments - contains the directly assigned icons to folders via the right-click menu
• Path Presets - contains rules to automatically assign icons & colors to folders based on their paths
• Folder Presets - contains rules to automatically assign icons & colors to folders based on their name

Automated Presets

Path Presets

(e.g.: all folders starting with “BP_” → blue)

Folder Presets

(e.g.: all folders under “/Game/Architecture/” → red)

Sharing icons & colors

Folder icons & colors are stored in Config/DefaultFancyFolders.ini.

This will be automatically picked up by source control, submitting this file will ensure your teammates can benefit from your folder settings.

If you want to prevent sharing them you can add the config file to the source control’s ignore list.

Adding custom icons

You can add custom icons alongside the built-in ones, but it requires a careful setup:

• Navigate to the plugin’s Resources → Icons folder
• Duplicate the Default folder
• Rename the duplicated folder to the new icon’s name
• Open the new folder and edit the SVGs to add your new icon to all states:
  • Normal.svg
  • ColumnOpen.svg
  • ColumnClosed.svg
