    Description

      Android Studio provides a convenient feature that allows developers to visually browse the device's file system directly from the IDE. Implementing a similar feature in Qt Creator would enhance productivity by enabling developers to easily inspect, manage, and interact with files on connected devices without leaving the development environment.

      Proposed Features:

      • Visual File System Navigation:
        A built-in explorer to browse and navigate the device's file system.
      • File Operations:
        Support for basic file operations such as copying, moving, deleting, and renaming files directly from the IDE.
      • Search and Filter:
        Ability to search for files or directories, and filter results based on file type or other attributes.
      • Integrated UI:
        A seamless integration within Qt Creator's existing interface, possibly as a dedicated panel or tool window.

      Implementing this feature would streamline the development and debugging process, making it easier to manage device files and improve overall workflow efficiency.
