Browse and compare
The tree and detail pane are two views of the same project. Selecting a linked entity or a tree row navigates to its details and reveals its position in the tree.
Find an entity
Section titled “Find an entity”Use the filter above the tree to narrow the visible entries. Expand a category to find its members, or select the category to see a list. The project overview also contains counts that link to categories.
The Other files view lists files the application does not recognize. Unfamiliar files are reported, not silently removed.
Choose an epoch and version
Section titled “Choose an epoch and version”Library entities can have several epochs. Select the epoch first, then use the Author and Version controls to choose a version. A label, when set, appears alongside the version number.
The official star and personal-pick check indicate different choices. Read versions and selections before changing them.
Read the detail tabs
Section titled “Read the detail tabs”| Tab | What you can inspect |
|---|---|
| Overview | Attributes of the selected JSON entity, its file, and any header/filename disagreements. |
| Script | Scene blocks formatted as a screenplay. Available for scenes. |
| Compare | Alternative versions of the entity at the selected epoch. |
| Takes | Discovered media associated with the entity, with image previews where supported. |
| Commentary | Authors’ comments, ratings, and preferences recorded in the project. |
| JSON | The complete underlying JSON, with copy and file-reveal controls. |
Project files additionally have an Edit tab when appropriate.
Compare alternatives
Section titled “Compare alternatives”Open Compare. Columns prioritize the version being viewed, your own version, your pick, the official selection, and then the remaining alternatives. Rows show individual attribute paths; differences are highlighted. Scene blocks align by block ID.
Comparison currently helps you inspect differences. Copying an attribute from one column into another and comparing attributes across epochs are not implemented yet.
Refresh external changes
Section titled “Refresh external changes”If a file has been changed outside the application, choose Re-read files from the project menu. Resolve any unsaved form edits first: concurrent editing is not detected reliably, and another writer can overwrite changes.
Warnings describe malformed, ambiguous, or unsupported content. A warning is not permission to delete or automatically repair someone else’s files.
