Hello,
Please make the file manager behave like a "normal" file manager. I have never used a file manager that behaves as strange as this one.
When you got a web-based file manager, you are at a disadvantage from the beginning because of the natural delay of browsing.
And if you add functions like expand folder and center the screen over a the file you moved, or hide the toolbar when scrolling, the file manager gets really annoying.
If I got 3 files in a folder and want to move them up one folder with 20 documents, I have to either cut and paste ,witch is realy wiered, or move them one by one, witch takes time. And after working a little while with some files, you have to reload the page because the files might show on two places or the expand-arrow have stopped working.
After moving one document into a folder, the screen opens that folder and centers the screen over that file. Why? Thats just stupid to be honest and really annoying if you want to move more then one file.
Thanks for listening!
Hi Pontus!
Thanks for your feedback! Can you share a screenshot with what you mean when you say "center the screen over a the file you moved" and "After moving one document into a folder, the screen opens that folder and centers the screen over that file."? What kind of behaviour do you want?
I just want to inform you that in the beginning of next year we will be releasing a new updated Documents. I have still not myself tested out all new things in the new interface so right now I can´t say if some of the things that you experience will be solved then. I will check with a colleague and ask him to see what he has to say about this feedback. I will be on vacation from Monday and three weeks onwards, but when I am back I will follow up on this.
Best regards

Hey Silvija,
I uploaded a short movie to Jing where I recorded the behaviour.

Im moving 4 documents up one folder. Even if its not many documents in the target folder, its anoying because of the delay and automatic scroll for position.
You cant drag and drop document between two folders without beeing interrupted by the automatic scrolling.
I would like to be able to drag and drop a document between folders without the automatic scrolling and without the automatic expand of that folder. Just like the explorer in Windows.
The reason for this is that it messes up the position of the screen making it really hard to work with more than one document at a time.
A easy solution would be to ad a "Go to document" on the details window that opens on the left. You got this for boards and activities so I would be a easy transition for those who likes the automatic scrolling.
Or you could make it option in a settings-tab.
Have a nice vacation! :)

With our latest release this idea has been implemented.
