Viewing Reorder/sort assets

Reorder/sort assets



User: Guest 12 years ago
Long lists of asset files are in no particular order. Being able to drag into a particular order or sort according to some criteria would make finding something easier.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think this is a good idea. Sorting alphabetically MAY be easy to implement. I'll see what we can do.

Very cool request.

I have a test site where the assets list stretches over 4 times the height of an iMac 24 screen!

I am used to working with directories in which I sort assets by type - not alphabetical order.

If we can't drag in folders, can we at least have set folders in assets such as css, js, audio, video.

If it is possible to have images go into Images and other assets in ewExternalFiles why not other folders such as the above mentioned?

I really don't see how sorting files alphabetically would help me. Do you think I can remember the names of over 300 files?

Having read many of your posts, no, I don't think you can. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Sorting by extension, for example, would be functionally equivalent to folders and could be easier to code. Perhaps a drop down of the extensions found in the assets list (JPG, PNG, MOV, etc), then selecting one to filter only those files in alpha/reverse alpha order.

If the assets list is implemented as an NSListView, then writing a filter method to feed tableViewObjectValueForLocation and implementing the IComparer interface could do the trick.

I sort my files by project rather than file extension. I can do it myself so I don't need EasyWeb to do it for me!

I still think the best and easiest way in the long run would be to implement the ability to drag folders into ewExterna Files.
