Right-click a material item in the file list to locate it, open the original file, rename it, remove or delete it, copy the filename or path, re-parse it, set ratings or color labels, and save a copy.
The file context menu provides quick actions for the selected item.
Open the Context Menu
- Select a file in the file list.
- Right-click the item.
- Choose the action you need.
Common Actions
- Locate in containing folder: switches to the app’s Files tab, selects the folder and locates the item in the app.
- Show in file manager: opens the original file’s location in the system file manager.
- Open with: use the default app, choose another app through the system dialog, or browse for a local program.
- Rename: changes the source filename when supported.
- Delete file: opens the removal dialog, where you choose whether to remove app records or delete the source.
- Copy filename: copies only the filename. Copy full filename: copies the full file path.
- Re-parse file: refreshes thumbnail, metadata, and extracted content.
- Set rating or color label: updates organization metadata.
- Save as: copies the file to another location.
Be Careful with Delete and Remove
Remove from the app clears database records. Delete from device moves the source file to the system recycle bin. Confirm which action you are using before proceeding.
Common Cases
- Use copy path when asking a teammate to check a source file.
- Use locate when you need to continue editing in the original folder.
- Use re-parse when a file's preview or metadata is stale.
- Rating and color actions apply to the current selection when the right-clicked item belongs to it; other actions may target only that item.
- If opening fails, verify that the original file is still accessible.
Open with, system file-manager access, rename, delete and Save As are desktop menu items. Browser clients do not show these direct host-disk actions. Locating an item inside the app is separate from opening its system folder.
