Feature requests / Force a confirmation on UNZIP ZP file.

« on: January 07, 2013, 12:39:27 am »

Right now (as of community 2.2.1) it is too easy to unzip a ZIP file in a project more than once with just a single click. This can lead to multiple copies of the same files over and over.

At a minimum, the UNZIP action should require a confirmation that the user really wants to do this. NO/CANCEL should be the default response action. (IE: sayng YES should take a wee more effort than saying NO.)

Feature requests / Unzip files into subfolder

« on: January 07, 2013, 12:33:16 am »

Since you implemented the ability to unzip an uploaded zip file into a project's documents, you have created a way to make that area quite messy quickly.

If Folders could be implemented, then unzipping a file should start as a new sub folder (matching the naming idea you already have implemented of using the zip files name). If possible, honoring sub folders in the zip file would be good too.

** Right now this is a great way to 'b*mb' a folder with junk. Have a zip file with hundreds or thousands of junk files. Then get someone (or yourself) to unzip it in place. **

Feature requests / Folder hierarchy for uploaded files

Being able to group files into sub folders helps organize data into more usable order.

(ha. Even the forum here uses this paradigm)

Feature requests / Folder hierarchy for notes

Allow notes to be sorted and organized into sub folders.

This allows better organization information.

Feature requests / Default start page on login

It would be great to have the app return to a consistent starting point on login.

The beginning point of 'view all' is a bit messy when the system is full of data.

Starting in a given project and tab would improve my 'time to first action' on the work I need to do.

Ideas / Re: New UI Experience

« on: January 06, 2013, 11:09:20 pm »

Fairly good points.

The UI is pretty good so far (in terms of the community edition at least). There are definitely bits I find a bit counter productive at times, but you can work around them.

Notifications: A great thing to have, with a bit of a stickler to them. If you mean 'email notifications', then you end up having to add an external process that checks for out going notifications to send. In the hosted version, this is easy. If you have your own server, this is easy. If you are like me, and run it on a hosted web server, then this is not easy at all.

Wiki editing of notes, and the currently implemented WYSIWYG editor are at odds with each other. You would have to choose one over the other. Or you burn valuable development time creating a whole new technology to support both modes in real time in parallel. That time is better invested in bug bashing and feature polishing.

Folders: A great idea that can be used in several places to organize information. Files, Notes, etc

Native apps: Kind of inconsistent for a web app, especially this early in its life cycle. To implement it you have to keep large copies of all the data on the mobile device and try and sync it to the master system when you still have connectivity. It is better to focus on compatibility with more browsers, or better support in currently used browsers. Pretty much anything based on Webkit has problems with Description / Comment  boxes (at least in community 2.2.1)

Cloud sync? This is the cloud. What more do you want to sync it with?

It would be sweet if it could make your documents available as a webdav site (like dropbox / box.com)
