The new file manager options are a great improvement, thank you Absorb. Since this was just rolled out, and a lot of ideas have been submitted, hopefully the design team is already working on improvements.
Suggestions:
Navigate directly to files, rather than through a specific course
Allow a column to display total number of files attached when looking at the list of courses
Display the number of courses a file is associated with in file manager in list view (course names are available once the file is opened, but opening every file is tedious)
Show which files are not associated with any courses (see above)
Allow sort by number of associations per file within file manager
Once viewing a file, allow addition to or removal from a course
Allow bulk tagging of files using multi-select
Show date added
Allow sort by date added
Show file type in list view
Nice to have: Number of downloads
Allow archiving of files
Thank you!
I look forward to having the Files management updated from the current legacy to allow for the features you've mentioned. I too find it very tedious to drill down from within a lesson.
