Better Resource Browser

[grant_PD]

I'd like to see windows/osx style browsing capability in the resource browser.

Specifically:

Drag and Drop functionality

The ability to view the folder setup as a tree, rather than branch at a time.

and the ability to push resources from the current file to a library file.

[P Retondo]

Plus buttons for "previous directory" and "up one level."

The improvements in version 12.5 are a good step in the right direction!

From some of my discussions with NNA people I think a new Resource Browser is being worked on.

Here's some other relevant wishlist items:

Thought I had posted something along similar lines before, but maybe not:

--Back and Forward buttons like a web browser

--Folders for Resources other than symbols

--Ability to move Resources around within the browser without using the clunky "Move" fly-out menu option (just drag it)

--And while I'm at it: drag a collection of objects to the RB and create a symbol (drag and drop from drawing to RB, not just the other way around)

Yes, a Resource "Browser" that acts like a browser with Back and Forward buttons.

And can we please provide a button in the Resource Browser to get back to the Top Level with one click.

I have hundreds of symbol folders I have to scroll through to get back to the top level. If you have deeply nested symbol folders, going back up through the hierarchy to get to the top is very cumbersom. It was actually much easier to get back to the top level in VW versions 8 & 9. This was downgraded in version 10 as far as I am concerned.

Check out the power of PathFinder... this is a model for the way the ResourceBrowser should operate. Install PathFinder Demo and see for yourself !
