Roadmap Timetable

Post by Jeff Bellune »

Are any of the significant items of the map "in work"? Can we get an idea of when implementation of such items are planned - even in general terms?

NB: "when I feel like it" or "if I have time" as general terms are already assumed. :) I was hoping for something just a tiny bit more specific. ;)

Do any of the listed items have a higher priority than others? For example, Drop Stacks are near the bottom of the list, but do they have a higher developmental priority than items higher in the list? Or is the road map ranked in order of priority already? We users just don't know...

-Jeff

Well, I'm an impulsive programmer who is guided by inspiration and creative zest. The roadmap is no more than a rough guide of what is on my agenda and in what sequence (first comes first).

The next interesting bigger feature will very likely be Custom Folder Views. But, as always, I'm constantly working on countless little things... smoothing the work flow, you know.

Yeah, "Custom Folder Views" Or "Folder Specific Settings". Which is the better term? Please cast your vote, folks, or post an even better term for it.

What it is: (as in Explorer) you can save the following settings with a specific location/folder:
- view (thumbs, details, ...)
- sort order (column + direction)
- column order
- column widths
- column visibility
- sort folders apart

So that when you browse to this folder, the settings will be auto-invoked.

I like the way "Custom Folder Views" sounds, but "Folder Specific Settings" more accurately describes the functionality.

Plus, CFV might lead people to believe it will only remember the View settings for the folder and not the sorting and what not.

How about a combination of the two: "Custom Folder Settings" ?
I think the term settings is better compared to views, but I like the word custom also...

Jeff, I don't see anyone stopping ya! :lol: Does that mean you may like the combo idea? :wink:

BTW, you're now also seeing how we sometimes handle the small issues that make being part of XY "development" so addicting! And it appears you've become so! Thanks!

Yes, I do. "Custom" makes it sound more powerful, but also more user-friendly.

-1 for "Folder Specific Settings".
+1 for "Custom Folder Settings".

By the way: happy new year!
