File Operations

Tydora provides complete file management capabilities in the file tree and editor: create, rename, delete, move, copy path, and more.

Note

The vast majority of operations can be performed via the file tree's right-click menu; common operations also have keyboard shortcuts.

Creating a File

  1. Right-click a target directory (or the root directory) in the file tree.
  2. Select "New file".
  3. Enter a filename, for example note.md (the .md can be omitted; Tydora appends it automatically).
  4. Press Enter to confirm, and the editor immediately opens the new file.

Creating a Folder

  1. Right-click a target directory in the file tree.
  2. Select "New folder".
  3. Enter the folder name and press Enter to confirm.

Renaming

Method One: Right-Click Menu

  1. Right-click the file or folder.
  2. Select "Rename".
  3. Enter the new name and press Enter to confirm.

Method Two: Keyboard Shortcut

  1. Select the file or folder.
  2. Press F2.
  3. Enter the new name and press Enter to confirm (Esc to cancel).
Tip

After renaming a note file, Tydora attempts to update the [[03-Knowledge-Management/01-Wiki-Links]] pointing to it so that the links do not break. See 03-Knowledge-Management/05-Link-Index.

Deleting

  1. Right-click the file or folder.
  2. Select "Delete".
  3. Click "OK" in the confirmation dialog.
Warning

Deletion cannot be undone, and it recursively deletes all contents inside a folder. For important files, it is recommended to back them up first or place them under version control.

Drag and Drop to Move

  1. Press and hold a file or folder in the file tree.
  2. Drag it to the target directory.
  3. Release the mouse to complete the move.

Copying the Path

  1. Right-click the file.
  2. Select "Copy path".
  3. The file's full absolute path is copied to the clipboard, making it convenient to reference in the terminal, publish configurations, or conversations.
