# File Actions

> Create, open, duplicate, and export files in Rendzo

The File menu contains essential file operations for managing your GPX files and folders.

## New File

<Icon icon="plus" iconType="solid" /> Create a new empty GPX file.

**Keyboard shortcut:** `Cmd+N` (Mac) / `Ctrl+N` (Windows)

## Open Files...

<Icon icon="folder-open" iconType="solid" /> Open files from your computer.

**Keyboard shortcut:** `Cmd+O` (Mac) / `Ctrl+O` (Windows)

<Tip>
  You can also drag and drop files directly from your file system into the Rendzo window.
</Tip>

## New Folder

<Icon icon="folder-plus" iconType="solid" /> Create a new folder to organize your files.

Folders help you keep related routes and tracks grouped together in your workspace.

## Import Google URL...

<Icon icon="map-pin" iconType="solid" /> Paste a Google Maps directions URL and Rendzo builds a new GPX file from it. Each stop in the directions becomes a waypoint, and the routing tool computes a path between them along roads or trails — so the result is a real GPX track, not just a list of points.

### How It Works

1. In Google Maps, plan a route with at least two stops (e.g., "Albuquerque → Santa Fe → Taos").
2. Click **Share** in Google Maps and copy the URL — make sure it's the **full URL**, not a shortened share link (see [Limitations](#limitations) below).
3. In Rendzo, choose **File → Import Google URL...**.
4. Paste the URL into the dialog. The dialog parses it live:
   * <Icon icon="check" iconType="solid" /> "✓ N waypoints · Google travel mode: drive" means the URL parsed successfully.
   * A red error message means the URL is unsupported or empty.
5. The **Routing profile** dropdown is automatically set based on Google's travel mode:

   * **Drive** → Car
   * **Bike** → Bike
   * **Walk** / **Transit** → Run/hike

   You can override this — for example, switch to **Gravel bike** or **ADV Motorcycle** if you'd rather route on different terrain than Google's default.
6. Click **Import**. A new GPX file appears in your File Tree with the routed track and the waypoints.

<Tip>
  Press **Cmd+Enter** (Mac) or **Ctrl+Enter** (Windows) inside the URL textarea to submit without clicking Import.
</Tip>

### Limitations

* **Short URLs are not supported.** Links like `goo.gl/maps/...` or `maps.app.goo.gl/...` only resolve through Google's servers; they don't contain the route data Rendzo needs. Open the short link in your browser first to expand it to the full URL, then paste that.
* **The URL must have at least 2 resolved stops.** A URL with only an origin (no destination) can't become a route.
* **Coordinates must already be in the URL.** Most directions URLs include them automatically. If yours doesn't, open the route in Google Maps and the URL should refresh with coordinates embedded.

### What You Get

The resulting file:

* Contains one waypoint per stop in the Google directions, named with the place label from Google when available.
* Contains a single routed track connecting the waypoints along the network for your chosen profile.
* Is saved to the root of your File Tree — you can drag it into a folder afterward.

<Note>
  The route is computed by Rendzo's routing engine using OpenStreetMap data, **not** by Google. If you want a different routing engine's path or you don't want the route computed at all (just the waypoints), use the regular [Route Planning](/docs/tools/route-planning) tool with the same coordinates.
</Note>

## Duplicate

</Note>

## Export...

<Icon icon="download" iconType="solid" /> Open the export dialog to save the currently selected files to your computer.

**Keyboard shortcut:** `Option+Cmd+S` (Mac) / `Alt+Ctrl+S` (Windows)

<Note>
  This option is only available when one or more files are selected.
</Note>

## Export All...

<Icon icon="download" iconType="solid" /> Open the export dialog to save all open files to your computer.
