Bug Description

I nice enhancement, may related with #1728260 enhancement, is show the KiCad files on the start-up windows as the hierarchy that they are used on the Eschema (or even in Pcbnew on future #1728248)
This could be implemented on Nightly / v6 or next file format update.

I attached a image of a example in other EDA.

I think we're really talking about the schema hierarchy, not the file hierarchy (which is already shown), right?

Yes, @Jjeyjey. Show the schematic files on the KiCad initial windows as a tree that represent the hierarchical use of this files in Eeschema.

I know that today the *.pro file not have too much information, but file that belongs to the project could written them too, such as documentation files that could be listed on this initial window.

summary: - Show KiCad file in hiearchy on main window

This will not be trivial because the schematic will have to be opened in order to create the schematic file hierarchy. Putting the schematic files in the project file is a non-starter because it would make schematics non-portable.

Yes, the little the I studied about the file formats used I agree that the files have to be opened and read (even before start Eeschema). Because this I list the https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1728260 here.
