Files Widget
Files is the local-first file surface for selected track groups. It displays folder contents and supports file selection, selected-content sharing, and available file-management actions.
Browse and select files
Section titled “Browse and select files”Select one or more track groups, then expand folders and choose individual files or folders. Select all and Clear selection affect the current Files view. The widget may show file-type and bounce-approval information, but it does not use an ordinary track selection to start a new filesystem scan unless Files is active or you explicitly refresh it.
Share selected files
Section titled “Share selected files”Select the files you intend to deliver, then use the available share action to create and copy a selected-content link. This is the file-level delivery path; collaborator access is managed from Collaborators & splits. The link controls apply only to the selected files and permitted file types—do not assume that selecting a track group shares every local file.
Add, rename, move, or remove files
Section titled “Add, rename, move, or remove files”Owners and editors can use the row actions or selected-file actions to add, rename, or move files. A rename or move dialog lets you cancel before saving; file moves can target another eligible track group. Show in Finder and local playback are available only in a compatible desktop runtime.
Removing a file asks for confirmation and removes it from the track group; it is not an undoable rename. The widget also exposes separate, guarded confirmation flows for deleting an empty owned track group or permanently deleting eligible archived tracks. Those destructive actions move resolved local folders to Trash before the catalogue deletion path and are unavailable when the required desktop Trash bridge or ownership conditions are absent.
Import handoff
Section titled “Import handoff”Files owns durable user correction for local import candidates that remain Unassigned in flat inbox folders. Use Files to assign an uncertain file to an existing or new track group; do not expect the retired Import-dialog destination picker to return.
Desktop actions
Section titled “Desktop actions”Where the desktop runtime exposes it, Files can offer Show in Finder for an individual file or track-group folder. File availability and actions depend on the current desktop filesystem state.
