Ability to Include a Folder in Many Parent Folders

23 Jan 2011, 11:57

Enhancement Request:

The ability to have a folder of images show up under many "parent" folders would be nice. This way a folder could be included in different areas of the site without having to replicate the images/comments.

OR...

Is there a way to use a folder to open another?


For example... I just added a "recent posts" section to the parent level of my content folder. I want to include 5 folders that are also included under other menu options on my site. to accomplish this I copied these folders into the recent posts folder.


thanks
Alex

Currently, this is out of scope for Imagevue because Imagevue is a physical file-based system. It simply reads and reflects folder structure and files exactly as they are stored on your server. This has some practical value, but it makes it very difficult to achieve what you are asking for. It would have to be some "smart folder" which we have discussed earlier ...
