Folio Builder needs help!

Jul 11, 2012 2:27 PM

Web view and iPhone are cool new features. But many of us have been in production now for a while and we need more robust workflow tools. Here are some of my thoughts....

 

  1. Update all - this goes without saying! It's monotonous and error prone to update articles a click at a time. Command / shift click articles in Folio Builder would help.
  2. Reveal in Finder - Path info is stored somewhere! Expose it within Folio Builder, and allow us to control click navigate to the source doc.
  3. Modification Date/Create Date - expose Article dates within Folio Builder.
  4. Coterminous Meta - make editable properties exactly the same in Folio Builder as in Producer:Organizer. For example, because Protection is set in Organizer, not Folio Builder, whenever I update unprotected articles, they are reset to protected! And I should be able to set Folio #, Description, and Cover Date from Folio Properties in Folio Builder too.
  5. Rename... vs. Properties... - this is a quirky UI/UX issue. Why can't I edit an Article Name within Article Properties?
  6. Missing Breadcrumb - If I have navigated down to Layouts on an Article - I can't follow the breadcrumb back one level to the Article...I can only navigate back to the Folio level.
  7. Recursion - Importing articles is limited to a single level deep in a directory structure, why?
  8. Email/Web Address - for Social Media, I want to set email and web address data at the Article level - not the Folio level. And I want to do it in Folio Builder.
  9. Publish / Update / Notify - why must we log into Organizer just to publish, update, or push a notification?
  10. Account Permissions - I want to grant access to an account without giving away the actual account log in. Sharing a Folio isn't sufficient.
  11. Producer:Organizer Table - We just had an update to the table, but even the new one is clumsy, rigid, and unresponsive. We need improved searching, selecting, filtering, navigating, and sorting of Articles.
  12. Sidecar Export/Import - allow us to Export Sidecar...we could more easily make simple tweaks...then (Re)Import Sidecar.
  13. Hyperlinking - feature request - create functionality that allows us access to all current Article Names associated with a specific Folio when creating an intra-folio hyperlink.
  14. TOC Preview - feature request...create tool to format a TOC on the fly via scaling, positioning an image file beyond just the simple import.
