Selection.activeObject on items on left side of Project window

I've found a number of resources on how to get the path of the selection in the project window but it only works for selected objects on the right side of the divider. Is there any way to get the same info from the left side, assuming you've specifically selected or right clicked the item?

The following only works if I have an item selected in the right side of the window. It's by no means a dealbreaker, but it's a nice-to-have.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using UnityEditor;
6.  
7. public class BuildAssetFolderStructure : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.  
10.     [MenuItem("Assets/Build Asset Folder")]
11.     static void CreateFolder()
12.     {
13.         Debug.Log(Selection.activeObject);
14.     }
15.  
16. }
17.  

 

Second for this feature.

It's strange that clicking(Right/Left) on left side of Project panel doesn't change Selection.activeObject.

 

Did anyone ever figure this out?

 

I still have this question today lmao

 

I am necroing this because I found a way to do this using Reflection. This is working in 2021.3.14f1.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Reflection;
2. Type projectWindowUtil = typeof(ProjectWindowUtil);
3. MethodInfo method = projectWindowUtil.GetMethod("GetActiveFolderPath", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static);
4. if (method != null)
5. {
6.     string leftPaneFolderPath = (string)method.Invoke(null, null);
7.     Debug.Log(leftPaneFolderPath);
8. }

I figured this out after browsing the UnityCsReference github repo.
Too bad this function is internal and not public; this could gain from being changed.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. Object[] objs = Selection.GetFiltered<Object>(SelectionMode.Assets);

This also returns objects that are selected in the left column without having to use reflection.
Additionally, if several objects were selected you know.
