Folders

Folders help you organize snippets by project, topic, language, or any structure that fits your workflow. When you select a folder in the sidebar, massCode shows snippets from that folder and all of its subfolders in the second column.

Adding a Folder

Use one of these methods:

• Select "File" > "New Folder" from the menu bar.
• Click the "+" button next to "FOLDERS" in the library.
• Press Shift+Cmd+N on macOS or Shift+Ctrl+N on Windows or Linux.

Moving to Folder

Drag one folder onto another to create a nested folder structure.

Renaming and Deleting

Right-click the folder and choose "Rename" or "Delete".

WARNING

Deleting a folder moves all its snippets and subfolders to "Inbox".

Set the Default Folder Language

Set a default language when most snippets in a folder use the same syntax.

Right-click the folder and choose "Default Language".

Setting a Folder Icon

>=3.7

Folder icons help large libraries stay easier to scan. Right-click a folder and choose Set Icon. Use the Icons tab to search the built-in Material and Lucide icon collections.

To restore the default folder icon, right-click the folder and choose Remove Icon.

Emoji and Uploaded Images

>=5.9

The icon picker also supports:

• Emoji - search the Unicode emoji catalog. Emoji appearance follows your operating system.
• Upload - choose or drop a JPG or PNG image up to 10 MB, review the preview, then click Use image.

Uploaded images are cropped from the center, resized to 128×128, and saved as PNG.

Uploaded icons are stored as a hidden .icon.png file inside the folder, so they stay with the folder when you back up or sync your Markdown Vault.
