The File Tree provides a hierarchical view of all your open files, allowing you to manage files, tracks, segments, and waypoints in one place.

​
How Files Work

All your files are stored on the Rendzo server. The File Tree shows files you have opened on this device - these are downloaded to your browser for editing and viewing.

​
Opening Files

To work with a file, you need to open it first:
  1. Go to File > Open to see all your server files
  2. Select the files you want to work with
  3. Click Open Selected to download them to this device
Once opened, files appear in the File Tree and on the map.

​
Removing Files

When you remove a file from the File Tree, it only removes the local copy from this device. The file remains safely stored on the server and can be opened again at any time.
Use the Server only filter in the Open dialog to quickly find files that aren’t yet opened on this device.

​
Enabling the File Tree

Toggle the File Tree view using:
  • View > File Tree from the menu
  • Keyboard shortcut: Cmd+L (Mac) / Ctrl+L (Windows)
When enabled, the file tree appears on the right side of the map, replacing the tab-based file list.

​
View Modes

The File Tree panel has two view modes, accessible via tabs at the top:

​
Files View

The default view showing your file hierarchy with folders, files, tracks, and waypoints.

​
Tags View

Switch to Tags view to filter and browse items by their assigned tags:
  1. Select Tags - Click one or more tag badges to filter
  2. Filter Mode - When multiple tags are selected, choose:
    • AND - Show items that have all selected tags
    • OR - Show items that have any of the selected tags
  3. Map Display - Control how filtered items appear on the map:
    • Show All - Display all items normally
    • Dim - Show filtered items prominently, dim others
    • Hide - Only show filtered items on the map
  4. Grouping - Organize results:
    • By Type - Group by files, folders, waypoints, media
    • By Tag - Group by assigned tag
Use Tags view to quickly find all routes from a specific trip or filter by activity type.

​
Sorting

Click the sort button at the top of the file tree to change the sort order:

​
Sort Options

  • Manual - Custom order (default), allows drag-and-drop reordering
  • Name - Alphabetical by file name

  • Updated - By last modification date
  • Created - By file creation date

​
Sort Direction

Click the direction button to toggle between ascending and descending order.
When using Manual sort, you can drag files to reorder them. Other sort options automatically arrange files and disable manual reordering.

​
File List Basics

Files appear as expandable items in the tree. Click on a file to select it and view its statistics. The selected file’s route is highlighted on the map.

​

​
