Purpose
The project view opens when a project is selected. It lists the folders and point clouds inside the project, and provides controls for uploading, organising, and filtering content.
Folders do not open into a separate sub-view. With Group by Folder turned on, a folder row expands inline to show the point clouds it contains.
