The Folder Tree

The Folder Tree is a listing of the folders in the repository. It reflects the status of folders as they exist on the server and does not reflect any pending changes. The Folder Tree is automatically refreshed periodically to retrieve any changes that may have been made on the server. This can be set in the General Options. The Refresh command (found on the Toolbar and View menu) manually refreshes both the File List and the Folder Tree.

Only one folder can be selected at a time. The files for the selected folder are displayed in the File List. Right-click on a folder to bring up the Folder Tree Context Menu for the selected folder.

The Folder Tree can by navigated by using the arrow keys. Up goes to the previous viewable folder and Down goes to the next one below. The right arrow expands the current node (if expandable) and the left arrow contracts the current folder, if contractible, and moves to the next open node.

The Folder Tree displays the following kinds of folders.

  1. Regular Folders – shown as buff colored folders.

  2. Cloaked Folders – shown as gray folders. See Cloak Folders for more information.

  3. Shared Folders – shown as a folder with a blue double-headed arrow. See Working with Shares and Branches for more information.

  4. Pinned Folders – shown as a folder with a red pin icon over it. See Pin Folders for more information.

  5. Ghost Folders – shown as a light outline of a folder. See Ghost Folders and Files for more information.
