A project in WM equals any one folder (directory) of your file system.
WM won't deal with subfolders; you can have them but Jumps Window won't show them.
To start a new a project:
- press CTRL+P to add a folder (=project)
- or simply open a file
its parent folder will be added to the projects/folders list
| CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT | step through the recent projects/folders list |
| ALT+DOWN | open the recent folders pop-up list |
| CTRL-click an item | remove it from the list |
| CTRL+F | open containing folder of the current file |
| CTRL+P | add project folder to folder list |

File Order
To re-order files in the Jumps Window Window:
- drag&drop a file onto another
- the file you dragged will be positioned above
Or use keystrokes:
- CTRL+X to cut the selected file
- CTRL+V to paste it (above the currently selected)
To move a file from the bottom repository to the upper project section:
- enter/open the file
- remove it's draft or repo - tag
Your custom file order is stored in
_PROJECT.DAT
, located in each of your project folders.
Since every folder has it's own
_PROJECT.DAT
, you can transfer individual projects to other computers without losing your file order (scene structure etc)

- all existing files stay in place
- the merged file is named in the format _MERGED YYYY-MM-DD hh-mm
Choose what to include:
Always included are:
- Bookmarks
- Headings and all other Markup Formatting
Not included are:
- files tagged as //draft or //repo
- already existing merged files at the bottom of the list
- the repository of each file
