About this widget
Desktop Drawer is a launcher panel for any folder you point it at. A fresh drawer asks for its folder, and the button in the empty drawer takes you straight to that setting. In all mode (the default) it mirrors the whole folder live: files appearing or disappearing show up on their own. In curated mode it starts empty; the + tile opens a picker of the folder's items to add, and you drag tiles between drawers to move them or drop them out to remove them. Clicking a tile opens the item just like double-clicking it in Explorer, and renamed or deleted items drop out on their own. The drawer collapses to a slim handle toward any edge, on click or, if you turn that on, by itself after every launch. Configure the title, the folder, contents mode, labels, icon size, sort order, panel style, and the collapse edge.
