Folder Slice Folder Groups and Auto Switching

Folder Groups in Folder Slice

Introduction

Folder Slice introduced the folder group feature in v1.7.0, allowing users to create multiple folder groups for better organization and management of different types of folders。

You can also assign specific apps to each folder group. When you use a linked app, Folder Slice automatically switches to the corresponding folder group, streamlining your workflow。

Enabling Folder Groups

Using Auto Switching

When you open a linked app, Folder Slice automatically switches to the associated folder group, making it easy to access related folders。

For example, if you link the “Editing” folder group to Final Cut Pro, Folder Slice will auto-switch to the “Editing” group whenever you’re using Final Cut Pro。

If you open an app that isn’t linked to any folder group, Folder Slice will switch to the first folder group by default。
