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....
- 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.
- Reveal in Finder - Path info is stored somewhere! Expose it within Folio Builder, and allow us to control click navigate to the source doc.
- Modification Date/Create Date - expose Article dates within Folio Builder.
- 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.
- Rename... vs. Properties... - this is a quirky UI/UX issue. Why can't I edit an Article Name within Article Properties?
- 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.
- Recursion - Importing articles is limited to a single level deep in a directory structure, why?
- 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.
- Publish / Update / Notify - why must we log into Organizer just to publish, update, or push a notification?
- Account Permissions - I want to grant access to an account without giving away the actual account log in. Sharing a Folio isn't sufficient.
- 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.
- Sidecar Export/Import - allow us to Export Sidecar...we could more easily make simple tweaks...then (Re)Import Sidecar.
- 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.
- TOC Preview - feature request...create tool to format a TOC on the fly via scaling, positioning an image file beyond just the simple import.
