Hello Hippo community,
Our content editors would like a more convenient way to delete large
quantities of obsolete assets.
Not without risk of course, but in an environment that has a lot of quickly
changing content, I can see their point.
The best location to add functionality like that, I think, would be the
Search tab.
I guess it should not be too difficult to add a delete button (next to go-to
and edit) to resources, but this doesn't improve much.
It also doesn't seem hard to do a "delete all" of the resources in the
search result, but it may be hard/impossible to tune the search so that it
will result in exactly the assets to be removed.
So I am thinking there should be a way to select resources from the search
result and delete only them.
Now in the Search tab implementation (6.05.08) I found (traces of) a
mechanism allowing the user to select resources from the search results and
perform a search/replace on them. If it works it seems this mechanism could
be (re)used.
My questions:
- do you have any thoughts on the above? Was it ever considered/dismissed to
add this functionality?
- is the selection mechanism functional (for search/replace) and would there
be a reason it cannot be used for deletions as well?
- any other advice/suggestions?
Thanks,
Reinier
