There’s something I don’t understand here: why when I do “Open Folder” and then save the session, closing it and opening it again I’m left with nothing?
Instead, if I open some files in subdirectories, the next time I reopen the session I’m just presented with the parent folders of those files, but I really needed to have the topmost directory to be able to access the whole tree structure whenever I reopen the session.

Is it possible? Or do I have to make a project?

    Thanks for the detailed answer! The filesystem browser trick is pretty neat, but still I feel that this is less than ideal as I have to climb up the tree each time I reopen the session.
    I also tried the “project” solution and it seems like it doesn’t work as I expected it, for example I put a .kateproject file in the parent folder containing this:

    {
  "name": "Genshin web cache",
  "files": [
    {
      "directory": "webCaches",
      "recursive": 1
    }
  ]
}

    I thought I’d find this project in Kate’s welcome screen, but it’s not there, am I missing something?

    (very late) EDIT: I had made a mistake there, I placed the file in the wrong directory, it actually works as intended and I can see the file tree without issue in this way

    By the way, I think this is worth opening a feature request for, it’s way too hard to use for no apparent reason imo
