Feature name:
Parent folder selection
Feature Description
We already have the great option to create subfolders. This is pretty handy to better group passwords and the like.
However this functionality is pretty hidden. You have to know that in order to create a sub folder you have to type in the correct full name of the parent(s) followed by a / in front of the folder name. For example News/Newspaper
To make this feature more visible I would add a dropdown on folder creation / editing to optionally select the parent folder.
This would look like this:
Behind the scenes
This should just be a frontend convencience functionality: It takes the folder selected in the dropdown, adds a / and concats the name of the folder. (And finds the current subfolder in the opposite way: Take the full folder name, split it at the last / and put the last part in the name field and the rest in the current dropdown selection.)
This means that it should still be possible to completely ignore the dropdown selection when creating a folder and just create a sub folder the way it is currently done: By simply adding / in the folder name.
Clients / Repos Affected:
What I can do
- Web
I can easily do this myself, as I am fluent in Angular
What I’ll have trouble doing
- Mobile
- Desktop
No promises here that I am also able to add it.
I’ve never worked with electron and it’s been quite some time that I last coded in C# and Xamarin.
I’ll definitely not be able to try it for iOS as I have no Apple device.
Timeline to completion (estimate):
ETA: Q2/2021 for Web Vault
TBD: Mobile and Desktop
