Hello Ryan!
We have many users on many different sites, but all struggle with the same problem (not the "best users" you may think. correct! 😃 ) Maybe a new feature / setting could help out?
Using the image manager extended over the months many image folders are created (and many images are uploaded). We educate our users to use a specific prefix to keep order and be able to find folders quickly: YYMMDD_nameofthearticlethefolderisfor. This way everyone can easily understand what data belongs to what content item. Plus everything is stored chronologically and the sorting works "out of the box".
Guess what, that works only for a short time and after that very short time everyone has forgotten about it. The obvious result are crammed folders with almost no logical order.
It would be great if the image manager extended could add that prefix automatically. So the user would only enter the folder name like nameofthearticlethefolderisfor, but would get a correct YYMMDD_nameofthearticlethefolderisfor
Even better if this setting would be flexible to add the prefix using only specific profiles and / or if a subfolder is created inside a defined folder.
Like: add the prefix automatically inside images/data/imgs but not inside images/data/vids.
On top: maybe it could be implemented that the general JCE file manager works the same way.
Well, ideas, ideas....
Thanks for your attention, and
Best regards!
Chris
