In more detail

The file tree lists your coding like folders on a computer. Each theme has a coloured dot, each code and sub-code a smaller outlined dot, and every row shows how many quotes sit beneath it, the fullest first.

It is the densest of the three views and the quickest to scan for which codes carry the most support and which are thin. Selecting a row opens its quotes in the reader.

In Themescape

Choose File tree from Figure style. Rows start sorted by quote count. Quotes with only a candidate theme sit under that working theme, and quotes with neither are grouped under Uncategorised.
