ZeroTags and quick access
Two ways of finding things again: labels that cut across the folder tree, and pins that put a place one click away.
Both open from the tray at the foot of the navigation rail, and both open as a tab beside your work rather than as a dialog over it.
Tags
A tag is a name and a color, shared by the whole project. Tags cut across
folders: a file, a chat, and an object can all carry reference, wherever each
of them happens to live.
The Tags tab is where you manage the set — create, rename, recolor, search,
delete. Keeping them in one place is the point: tags are only useful while there
is one draft rather than four spellings of it.
To put a tag on something, select the thing and use the Details panel on the right. Tagging a file is also all it takes to give it an identity in the project — you do not have to import it first.
Quick access
Quick access is your own list of pins in the sidebar: the folders you actually work in, the reference folder on another drive, the page you keep checking.
A new project starts with an empty list. It used to start with three pins aimed at folders Zero never creates, which meant every project began with three dead links — better to start with nothing and add what you actually use.
Entries are ordered — the order you set is the order they appear in — and each takes one of three shapes:
| Kind | Points at |
|---|---|
| Folder | A folder inside the project, by its path — Images/Heroes. |
| Source folder | A folder inside an attached source, by the source's short name and optionally a path within it. |
| URL | An http/https address. |
Each entry gets a name, and an icon and color you choose, so the list stays readable once it is more than three items long.
There is deliberately no pin for a single file or a single chat. Pins are for places you keep coming back to — a list that grows an entry per interesting file stops being a shortcut. To get to one particular item, filter the tree on its own page.
