GameData Explorer

GameData Explorer is a KSP 1 utility that opens the current game's GameData folder in Windows Explorer or launches other programs using that folder. You can save your favorite external commands and run them from an in-game window or directly from the toolbar.

Using the toolbar

• Click the toolbar icon to open or close the GameData Explorer window.
• When the window is closed, hover over the toolbar icon to display a menu of available commands after a short delay. Click a command to run it.
• The hover menu does not appear while the main window is open.
• Windows Explorer is always the first command and opens the current game's GameData folder.

Managing commands

Open the main window using the toolbar icon. Click Add Command to create an entry, or use Edit and X beside an existing custom command to change or remove it. Each entry has a display name, an executable path, and command-line parameters. Click a command's button to run it. Click Close to dismiss the window.

Use %v in the parameters to insert the full path to the current game's GameData folder. The inserted path is quoted so folder names containing spaces work correctly.

For example, to open Git Bash in GameData, create a command with:

• Name: Git Bash
• Command: D:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe
• Parameters: --cd=%v

Custom commands are saved automatically and are available the next time you play.

Keyboard shortcut and settings

Ctrl+Shift+G opens or closes the main window when the keyboard shortcut is enabled.

In KSP's Settings → Difficulty Options → GameData Explorer, you can:

• Enable or disable the Ctrl+Shift+G shortcut (enabled by default).
• Adjust the toolbar menu hover delay from 0.1 to 2 seconds (default 0.25 seconds).

The toolbar button works even when the keyboard shortcut is disabled.
