Resource Tags instead of Folders


Chris D

Question

Folders are an old and inefficient way to sort resources such as symbols. They get untidy because they are manual.

Tags are a far more intelligent way to sort large ever-changing sets of resources.

The Resource Browser (Ye Olde Resource Browser) needs a massive update to show far bigger previews (if we want them), longer resource names, resource tags, the ability to sort by tags, the ability to save tag selections as smart folders etc etc. The RB should also be more dynamic and should get out of the way when you start dragging a resource onto your drawing!

I want this yesterday please, failing that, September.

In fact there are loads of easily-coded* improvements that could be done to make the RB a SuperBrowser! Why can't we sort resource views by class, by real-world size etc etc....imagine sorting the browser view by size from house types down to door handles...how much easier it would be to find things! This September!**

*if it isn't easy you've got the wrong coders.

**if it can't be done by September you haven't got enough of them.

That's why I have a second monitor.

I agree with all you say, and I can add stuff to that:

- The ability to change the order of the resource types

- Seeing info like how much a symbol is placed in the drawing...

- ...

Take a look at the windows explorer....

Man, I requested this years ago and forgot about it....I can't believe the RB doesn't report this...it's crazy to have to run a report to find out how many instances of a particular symbol there are in a file!
