Groups is going to require a re-factoring of the code…sigh. The current format for saving favorites is getting trashed.
I think I am going to remove requiring the user to give an alias for favorite files. If you want to add a bunch of files to a group in one shot, needing aliases is just not going to work. I will manage them internally. When you open your list in the quick panel. Each file will be listed like so. Or something like this. I am going to have to play around to see the best way to show these.
file_name
full/path/to/file
Groups will probably be listed something like:
Group: name
7 files
A simple project slowly getting more complicated. Oh well, it is for the better .
I then plan on having two commands for opening files. (this might also get reduced to one command that then gives you the option to open the entire group when you select the group)
-Open File
-Open Group
I then plan on having two set commands. (this might also get reduced to one command that then gives you the option)
-Add File
-Add All Open Files
The open commad(s) will just open a menu and with three options (probably No Group first):
-Create Group
-Add to Group
-No Group
All required user interaction will be quick panel driven except for entering the group name. Hopefully this will all work out well.
