Every file in a workspace folder appears in Otterflow’s file tree. Use it to create and organize material, copy paths, open files in other applications, preview images, or add a file to the current AI conversation.

​
File-tree basics

Right-click in the file tree or use its controls to:
  • create a file or subfolder;
  • refresh after files change outside Otterflow; and
  • rename a file or directory.
An empty directory is labeled Empty folder.

​
Copy paths

  • Copy path copies the full absolute path on disk, useful for the operating system, terminal, or another app.
  • Copy project path copies the path relative to the current workspace, which is easier to share and remains meaningful if the workspace is moved.

​
Add a file to AI

Right-click a file and choose Add to current conversation when you want AI to read it as context. This is useful for asking AI to continue a draft, review a source, or revise existing writing based on a specific document.
📷 Placeholder: file context menu — show the “Add to current conversation” and “Show in folder” actions.

​
Open in the system

Use Open or Open with default application to hand a file to its normal system app. Use Show in folder to reveal the containing folder. On macOS, this is shown as Reveal in Finder.

​
Image preview

Open image files in the built-in preview. Zoom in, zoom out, or reset zoom to inspect a figure or check a visual asset.
