Folders & Navigation

FLOGVIT.culling gives you fast access to your photo folders with a built-in folder tree, favorites, and recent history.

Folder Tree

Press L to toggle the folder tree panel on the left side. It shows your file system hierarchy and lets you switch between folders instantly — no need to use the OS file dialog every time.

Click any folder to open it. Subfolders are expandable. The current folder is highlighted.

Opening Folders

Several ways to open a folder:

Cmd+O — OS file dialog
Click a folder in the folder tree
Drag and drop a folder onto the application window
Select from File → Recent Folders
Select from File → Favorites
Via the API: POST /api/v1/folder/open

Favorites

Pin folders you use often as favorites:

Navigate to the folder
Click the star icon next to the folder name in the tree, or go to File → Add to Favorites

Favorites appear at the top of the folder tree for quick access. They persist between sessions and are stored in ~/.config/flogvit/favorites.json.

Remove a favorite by clicking the star icon again.

Recent Folders

FLOGVIT.culling remembers your recently opened folders. Access them from:

File → Recent Folders in the menu bar
The folder tree panel (recent section at the top)

The list shows your last opened folders with the most recent first. Recent folders are stored in ~/.config/flogvit/recent.json.

Session Persistence

When you reopen a folder, FLOGVIT.culling restores your previous session state:

Which image was selected
Zoom level and pan position
Active filters (rating, flag, color)
Sort order and direction
View mode (grid, single, compare)

This means you can switch between projects and pick up exactly where you left off.

Subfolder Browsing

The folder tree lets you navigate your entire drive structure without leaving the app. When you click a folder with images, they load immediately. The previous folder's state is saved automatically.

Drag and Drop

Drag a folder from Finder directly into the FLOGVIT.culling window to open it.
