Hi All,
The Asset Catalog has these buttons to show tree view or split layout, but i couldnt figure out how to use it, tried searching everywhere but couldnt able to find anything about this,have anyone used these if yes can you share some insights on how to use these?

Ah, Okay, I figured it out myself,
If you have multiple database files in HOUDINI_PATH, then thry shows up as categories/treeview
hope it helps someone crossing same path

However Single Database file has sub directories here in Houdini's material database, how can i replicate something for my custom database do i need to dig in and learn some database management or is there a simple way to do this in Houdini itself without having to edit database file?

I got it working

How did you create the subfolders?

How did you create the subfolders?

I modified the database file with python. I couldn't find builtin methods to do this.

Wtf lol. We need to use Python to... create folders...

I mean, kudos for figuring it out. But the UX is... just wow.

yeah kinda painfull, but this is first version with the tree view in asset catalog.I really hope that they will definitely include subfolder creation and more features for the asset catalog in next version.
