The Library Files Tab
The Library Files Tab contains a file list pertaining to the Library Workspace.
The panel lists filenames by category. Where there are files for a particular category, an arrow is displayed to the left of the category name and it can be clicked to expand and collapse the category (or double-click the category name).
When a filename is double-clicked, the file is opened in the Script Editor.
The Script Editor has a tabbed UI.
Double click a tab and the Script Editor will be detached into its own floating window.
