Detailed Update Explanation

Create Files

The functions for creating files and folders are combined. By default, a folder is created. If the name ends with .js/.php/.py/.go/.sh/.css/.sql/.txt/.log/.md/.json/.xml/.html/.yml/.yaml, Zdir will treat it as a file.

If the filename has no suffix, a folder is created by default.

If the filename contains one of the specified suffixes, a file will be created.

Text Editing

Currently, Zdir supports editing most common text formats. You can edit text files with .js/.php/.py/.go/.sh/.css/.sql/.txt/.log/.md/.json/.xml/.html/.yml/.yaml extensions. There are two ways to trigger the editing operation.

The first method is to right-click on files with the above suffixes when hovering the mouse over them; an edit button will appear.

When previewing a file, if it supports editing, an Edit button will also appear.

When the mouse is inside the editing box, the following shortcuts are supported to save content:

  • Windows: Ctrl + S
  • macOS: Command + S

File Descriptions

Starting from Zdir 4.0.2, the file description feature is supported. You can add descriptions for individual files, making it easier for users when sharing files. For example, if your file name is zdir4.tar, you only need to create a file named zdir4.tar.md in the same directory.

When you open zdir4.tar, the content inside zdir4.tar.md will be displayed automatically. Demo address: https://soft.xiaoz.org/#/zdir/docker/zdir4.tar?type=file
