I think what is confusing is that when at the root level you have nothing selected, in fact there can be something selected inside a folder but you don’t know… so you would have to open every folder to see that nothing is selected before it will create your new folder in the root.
If clicking outside of any folder did the same as [ctrl]-click on the thing that is selected (e.g. deselected all) it would be more intuitive, certainly for me.
Then the new folder would be created in the root or whatever folder you choose to open.
For what it is worth, i normally get around this issue by simply creating the folder then dragging wherever i want it. Been doing that so long now i have accepted it as part of the workflow but I do understand the confusion it can cause
It may do... but I think it will just cause more confusion to the new user... more "Making me think"...
so is this an api call? I thought it was a server action? If my server action isn't an api call does it go in another folder somewhere else? Wappler is confusing me... I'll stay with Bubble!
I think it is very important to keep what is seen the same as now, but just create a gui that works. Maybe check out something like Windows Explorer... they must have cracked this kind of thing.
Hi,
I think that Wappler should follow the OS its used on. So no folder selected and create a new one will make it root and folder selected it will be created in selected folder.
At least for me i notice my self get confused when i expect a certain behavior like the OS and then
Wappler is doing something else.
I have Cron tasks running scripts in the api folder so knowing the path is actually quite helpful. The URL is also used if giving other sites access to the API.
Like Jon I have cron’s and I often test via external tools like postman. I also code things in python that interact with sites. And then there are times to permit access to other api services by url.
But I’m not the target user for this…I already know what the path is. my comment was only to suggest an extension of what George is doing. In other words, if putting api, maybe put the whole path.
Personally, I would just create new items in the root if nothing is selected, which means having a way to click in white space to deselect after selecting soldering else. New users won’t know to cmd click.
