Hi,

Is that possible to have a naming convention for folders to be hidden ?

For example: In all my albums, I have a folder called "filtered/" which contains pictures that were not approved or treated yet.

I would like these folders not to be listed in the menu. Is that possible?
How? (if possible)

Another feature that would help me here, is actually to restrict access depending on user permissions. Do we have user permissions on V2?

I have some other owners of pics that may want to decide for filtered/non-filtered pics.

And access right – just set user to [x] Restricted and select starting directory for him.

Hi,

Thanks. I have not thought about renaming it to .filtered/ - I will test and see if that solves my issue.

The user permissions is not very useful for me in some cases, where e.g. I have:

./my_pics/place/date/ --> public
./my_pics/place/date/filtered/ --> want to hide this one

Ideally, I would like only few people to see what is inside filtered/.
But it seems that it is not possible today. That's not a big issue though. Just been able to hide it for the time being is enough. And I hope renaming these folders to .filtered/ will help on that =)

Thanks again.

BTW: what other content managers do when want to set permissions at folder level, is to request a file .something to be placed inside the folder. If the file exists, it will tell which users have access to that folder.

That's maybe a good solution for Imagevue also. What do you think?

Yes, I thought that would be the case.

We could aim to a improved solution where user will place a file (e.g. '.permissions') which specified the folder permissions. This is hierarchical, meaning that if no file is present, we use the permissions from top-level directories.

That's how my old album used to be.

I will not rename my folders to .something/
