Improve categorization workflow #119

Closed Woazboat closed 1 year ago

Currently quite a few steps are required to assign a category to a product. For one or two products this is probably fine, but categorizing multiple products takes a long time with many repeated steps.

  1. Unfold the "Products" tab on the left
  2. Click on "Uncategorized"
  3. Select a product by clicking on the small arrow on the right
  4. Enter category
  5. Click save

Repeat from the beginning for every single product. Especially having to re-navigate to the uncategorized products page (steps 1. - 2.) is slowing things down quite a bit. (3. - 5. are fine)

What makes this worse is that you cannot open a product page in a new tab since the arrow 'link' is not actually a proper link, so none of the built in browser tools work. The paginated product list does not remember which page you were on previously and always dumps you back at the start of the list when you reload the page. That means you need to do everything in one tab sequentially and need to navigate to the page you were on previously. The list page selection only allows you to skip forward three pages at a time and not to any arbitrary page.

Ideally it would be possible to have unfolding info boxes for every product on the uncategorized product page where you could enter the category without having to leave the page.

Being able to select multiple products and assign a category to all of them at the same time would also be useful.
