extract

Extract is a powerful recovery tool for deeply nested files. When run on a selected folder, it reaches through every sub-directory to "pull" files out and bring them up to your active window. You can choose to simply flatten the structure or have the files automatically sorted into type-specific categories as they are moved.

  • Best for: Moving assets out of complex folder structures into your current project root.

  • Trigger: Right-click any folder (or group of folders) to extract their contents upward.
