Group Issues #6

Open MentalGear opened 2 weeks ago

Thank you very much for this incredibly useful extension! It’s thoughtfully designed, but there are two features related to "groups" that could enhance its functionality even further.

  1. Persistent Group Tab The extension should remember the last active Group Tab for each user. This way, users can resume where they left off without needing to reselect their preferred group.

  2. New Item: Default to Active Group Tab When a "group" is selected in the main overview or tree layout, a user would expect new items to be added directly to the active group they’re viewing.

These enhancements would improve the overall workflow, making the tool even more intuitive for group-based organization.

Hi @MentalGear, thank you for making a time to write these suggestions.

  1. Making the group tab persistant shouldn't be a problem. The extension already provides an option to remember expansion of each branch.
  2. I believe implementation of this functionality could be rather confusing from UX perspective. If user wants to assign item to specific group during creation, they can specify that when creating a meta record. If group is not selected it just simply defaults to NULL and NULL is never hidden. If you disagree, feel free to expand this idea.
