Project and Task Assetsnew · 1.6

Files of a project or a task in a tree with columns, opened in the editor of the app or their own.

Every project and every task has Assets: a folder of its own shown as a tree with columns (name, size, kind, created, modified) and the icon of each kind of file. Files are dropped on it, added with + (File, Folder) or with More (Add Files, Show in Finder).

A double click opens a file: text in the editor of the app, in a tab; anything else in the application macOS gives it. A right click has the full menu: open, open with, rename in place, duplicate, copy path, show in Finder, move to the trash. Remote Files uses the same tree for the files of a host.

Agents read and write the assets of the tasks they work on, within what they may do, so a specification or a sample can be handed to them with the task.

What it does

  • Tree with columns and file icons.
  • Drag and drop, add files and folders.
  • Text files open in the app editor; others in their own app.
  • Full right-click menu.

How it behaves

  • The tree follows the folder: files changed outside show at once.

Why it matters

  • Keep the files of a task with the task, where its agent finds them.
