Opening Files

MakerVault makes it easy to go from finding a file to working with it.

Open in default app

Double-click any file in the list to open it in its default application. For example:

• .lbrn2 files open in LightBurn
• .svg files open in your default SVG editor (Illustrator, Inkscape, etc.)
• .stl files open in your slicer

Open with specific app

Right-click a file and select Open With to choose a specific application. This is useful when you have multiple apps that can handle the same file type.

Reveal in Finder

Right-click a file and select Reveal in Finder to jump straight to the file’s location on disk. The file is selected in Finder so you can see it immediately.

Copy file path

Right-click and select Copy File Path to copy the full absolute path to your clipboard. Useful for pasting into terminal commands or other applications.

Rename a file

Right-click a file and select Rename to change its filename. A dialog appears with the current name pre-filled and the filename (without extension) selected for easy editing. MakerVault validates the new name and renames the file on disk.

From preview

The Spacebar preview overlay includes an “Open in [App]” button so you can open the file directly from the preview without closing it first.
