EditorFileSystem
================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Resource filesystem, as the editor sees it.

Description
-----------

This object holds information of all resources in the filesystem, their types, etc.

**Note:** This class shouldn't be instantiated directly. Instead, access the singleton using :ref:`EditorInterface.get_resource_filesystem<class_EditorInterface_method_get_resource_filesystem>`.

----

.. _class_EditorFileSystem_signal_resources_reimported:

- **resources_reimported** **(** :ref:`PoolStringArray<class_PoolStringArray>` resources **)**

Emitted if a resource is reimported.

----

.. _class_EditorFileSystem_signal_resources_reload:

- **resources_reload** **(** :ref:`PoolStringArray<class_PoolStringArray>` resources **)**

Emitted if at least one resource is reloaded when the filesystem is scanned.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_EditorFileSystem_method_get_file_type:

- :ref:`String<class_String>` **get_file_type** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` path **)** |const|

Returns the resource type of the file, given the full path. This returns a string such as ``"Resource"`` or ``"GDScript"``, *not* a file extension such as ``".gd"``.

----

.. _class_EditorFileSystem_method_get_filesystem:

- :ref:`EditorFileSystemDirectory<class_EditorFileSystemDirectory>` **get_filesystem** **(** **)**

Gets the root directory object.

----

.. _class_EditorFileSystem_method_get_filesystem_path:

- :ref:`EditorFileSystemDirectory<class_EditorFileSystemDirectory>` **get_filesystem_path** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` path **)**

Returns a view into the filesystem at ``path``.

----

.. _class_EditorFileSystem_method_get_scanning_progress:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_scanning_progress** **(** **)** |const|

Returns the scan progress for 0 to 1 if the FS is being scanned.

----

.. _class_EditorFileSystem_method_is_scanning:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_scanning** **(** **)** |const|

Returns ``true`` of the filesystem is being scanned.

----

.. _class_EditorFileSystem_method_scan:

- void **scan** **(** **)**

Scan the filesystem for changes.

----

.. _class_EditorFileSystem_method_scan_sources:

- void **scan_sources** **(** **)**

Check if the source of any imported resource changed.

----

.. _class_EditorFileSystem_method_update_file:

- void **update_file** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` path **)**

Update a file information. Call this if an external program (not Godot) modified the file.

----

.. _class_EditorFileSystem_method_update_script_classes:

- void **update_script_classes** **(** **)**

Scans the script files and updates the list of custom class names.
