I have created a tool with Blueprint Asset Action Utility, and I want to run it on my content browser folders, but i just can’t find a way for how to do that.+

Try asset manager. You can set folders there, and i think there are blueprint nodes to set them from tool directly.

I couldn’t find a way to do this with Asset Action Utility, so I created a widget utility instead and used “Get selected folder paths”.

But now my problem is that I want to get everything in those folders, even other folders. Any suggestions?
