The Quanta Tree View Window


Quanta's tree view window


The tree view is the place where you will navigate and gather information in Quanta. It's tabbed format presents you with a Files, Project, Template, Document Structure and Documentation Tree.

Tabs in the tree view



Files Tree: This is where you can browse your entire filesystem in tree format. You are presented with two perspectives on the filesystem. The first is based on your home directory and the second is the root of the file system. Use this to find existing files on your machine that you'd like to edit or add to an active project. Right clicking on a file in this view gives you several options for managing the selected file and also allows you to insert the file into the active project (if any), or toggle the view between tree and list. Check it out!



Project Tree: Hopefully, if you use Quanta, you'll use projects. Project management is the single most powerful tool that Quanta offers. This view gives you direct access to what that structure looks like and allows you to manage the files in the project through right-click access. Add, remove or upload individual files or delete them entirely from the disk. All with a right-mouse click.



Template Tree: One of the new features in Quanta 3 is templates. Templates can be just about anything that you wish from images to code snippets to an entire web page that you change the heading on. Templates are sorted into three categories based on their scope, or visibility, in the current context. These are Global, Local and Project. As you may have guessed, Global templates are visible all the time. Local tamplates are visible to the user who created them and project templates are visible for a single project only. More on templates here.



Structure Tree: This handy little view gives you a look at how the parser sees your document. It's pretty straight forward and can really help with those sticky required closing tags we always seem to neglect.



Documentation Tree: Listed here is all of the documentation available for you to browse inside of Quanta. You can download pre-packaged docs for Quanta at http://quanta.sourceforge.net/docs.html or you can create your own documentation for Quanta.
