Library Utilities

Search, filters, selection, the right-click menu, and collections.

Updated

The search bar matches names, notes, creator names, categories, tags — and file names inside folders. Type and go.

If generic folder names (like “stl” or “supported”) clutter your results, Settings → Storage → Generic Folder Blacklist hides them when they only match indirectly — folders still show if their name directly matches what you typed.

Filters and sorting

Filter dropdowns in the toolbar, all stackable:

  • Categories, Tags, File types, Collections
  • Drive (only when you have multiple drives)
  • Cloud / Local / Both location toggle (when cloud sync is on)

Clear everything with the ✕ Clear all filters button. Sort by Name, Date added, Modified, or Size (click again to flip direction), and switch between Grid and List views top-right.

Selecting things

  • Click selects; Ctrl+click toggles; Shift+click selects a range
  • Drag on empty space for box selection
  • Ctrl+A selects everything; Escape clears
  • With multiple items selected, a bulk toolbar appears: copy/cut/paste, category, regenerate thumbnails, share, collections, and delete for the whole selection

The right-click menu

Right-click is the fastest route to almost everything. On a folder:

  • Open File Location — jump to it in File Explorer
  • Toggle Favorite, Rename
  • Copy / Cut / Paste — paste moves (cut) or duplicates (copy) into the folder you’re viewing
  • Change Category, Regen Thumbnail
  • Upload to Cloud / Download — depending on where the item currently lives
  • Share, Add to Collection
  • Delete Local Copy / Delete from Cloud / Delete Everywhere — the delete options match the item’s cloud state, so you always know exactly what’s being removed

Files add a couple more: Open (in the default app) and Add to Build Plate for printable files. Right-clicking empty space gives you New Folder and Paste.

Library stats

The status bar along the bottom keeps a running count: folders, files, and total storage used.
