Abstract
A computing device including a user input device. The computing device may further include memory storing a file tree that includes a plurality of files arranged in a hierarchical structure having a plurality of nodes. The computing device may further include at least one processor configured to receive, via the user input device, a scoping selection of one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes. The scoping selection may indicate a respective display status for each of the one or more nodes. The processor may generate a scoped view of the file tree in which for each selected node, whether that selected node is displayed or hidden in the scoped view is determined based at least on the respective display status indicated for that selected node by the scoping selection. The processor may output the scoped view to a display for display in a graphical user interface (GUI).
