+The Test Suites Explorer can be visible or hidden with F12 (View→View Test Suites Explorer). Pane can be made
+ floating or docked, by dragging or by double-clicking its top bar. See Release Notes for a workaround if you cannot make it visible.

-
+In File Explorer opening non-text files is done by the operating system registered app. Text files are opened in simple editor, or RIDE if valid types.

-
Fixed size fitting of folders tree in File Explorer.
-
-
Added context menu to File Explorer, to Open test suites directories or test suites files (also with double-click).
-
Added context menu option to Open Containing Folder, in operating system file explorer, or specific tool.
-
Added Config Panel button to File Explorer plugin. Here, you can set the operating system file explorer, or specify other tool, the Font style, and Colors.

(2.2rc1 - 2025-09-25)
- Added Project Settings concept. The Project Settings is a file named ``ride_settings.cfg`` inside a directory named ``.robot`` located in the Test Suite directory. The search for this directory, is done upwards from the Test Suite directory. You can create an empty directory, ``.robot`` located in the Test Suite directory or any parent directory, and RIDE will create and use the ``ride_settings.cfg``. This way you can have different settings, like: colors, UI language, and Plugins settings. The most relevant example is the creation of different Run Profiles or Arguments, in Test Runner. When you open a Test Suite outside one with Project Settings, you will see a dialog to restart RIDE, to use the ``Global Settings``.
