Document folders #332
Comments
The feature went live very recently and there is some room for improvement. First of all, clicking on a document now opens a modal dialog instead of the document. This modal dialog seems to be a second place to store "about the document" information. Such information is currently available on "Edit - About the document" and I would suggest to move them together. In addition, the modal dialog prevents me from using "Ctrl+Click" to open a document in a new tab. If the modal dialog stays, I would wish for the "View" and "Edit" buttons to move back into the list. They are by far my most used options. Also, drag and drop to move documents into folders would be awesome. Currently, this is only possible over the modal dialog. |
@ironjan That's a good call. I'll rework the table today to get View/Edit buttons back in the table (where they can also be ctrl+click'd) without having to open the modal first. There's admittedly a bit of duplication between this out-of-editor modal and the in-editor modals. There's a lot more to be done here, but the ultimate goal for the out-of-editor modal is to display more high-level information that's to come with (hopefully) some publishing-related functionality. I'm still designing it all and it might just make its way into an entirely new page (which would probably mean the modal will disappear), but until then it's mostly just a place to be able to mass-edit tags/info without having to go into each document's editor (esp. as tags are new and people are backfilling a lot of documents). I hear the feedback though and wanted the modal to be useful; if it's not, it'll definitely disappear. :) And, I agree: dragging & dropping documents into folders would be awesome. I'm not very familiar with any drag&drop libraries but that'd be way more efficient than just requiring the folder dropdown! |
Desired behavior
(All of this very much like the Google Drive interface/functionality)
