Using MOVIE-ADE

Projects and URLs

A project is a folder (usually your repo root). Each project keeps its own saved URLs, so local, dev, and production are one click apart.

#Add a project

  1. File → Open Project Folder… (⌘O / CtrlO), Add Project in the sidebar, or Add Project… in the title bar project menu.
  2. Pick the folder and click Open.

The name defaults to the folder name. Adding a folder that is already registered opens it instead (paths are compared case-insensitively on macOS and Windows). From the sidebar menu you can Rename a project or Remove from List. Removing never deletes the folder.

Terminals open in the project folder, and reviews are saved under <project>/.ade-movie/.

#Save URLs

  1. Open the page in the built-in browser.
  2. Click + (Save current URL) in the browser toolbar. The current URL is pre-filled.
  3. Enter a Name and click Save.

Only http:// and https:// URLs are accepted. The name is guessed from the host if you leave it as suggested:

HostName
localhost, 127.*, ::1, 0.0.0.0, *.localhostlocal
contains dev, develop, developmentdev
contains stg, stage, stagingstg
anything elseprd
Saved URLs in the browser toolbar

#Open and switch environments

Click a saved URL to open it. If the current page is under another saved URL, MOVIE-ADE keeps the path, query, and hash and swaps only the origin. For example, on http://localhost:3000/pricing?plan=pro, clicking prd opens https://example.com/pricing?plan=pro.

The chip matching the current page (longest prefix) is highlighted. Right-click a chip or use its pencil icon to edit or Delete it. When a project opens and there is no previous URL, its first saved URL loads.
