The "Project Manager" displays the files within the current project folder along the left side of all of the RockWorks program windows.
The basic idea behind the Project Manager is to allow you to view the contents of the project folder, with files grouped by types, and quickly open a selected table or file by double-clicking on it. It is also possible to view additional options by right-clicking on an item.
