Feature request: show empty folders in Content Browser

We’ve already created all the folders we will need to store our game assets using explorer but the content browser only shows folders containing assets. We must re-create the folders tree inside the Content Browser to add new assets

It would be nice to have some show empty folders option somewhere: contextual menu, view options, Editor Preferences / Content Browser …

I’ve raised a feature request for this (UE-9074) so that we can consider it when we’re making the next round of Content Browser changes.

It’s currently non-trivial to do as the Content Browser infers the folders from the location of the assets, so an empty folder won’t appear as it contains no assets to infer its existence (same with the C++ classes that were added for 4.7).
