File Manager Files/Albums

33 votes

Can we not have the option to create separate files/albums within the File Manger/Products & Category Images, so that we can upload different supplier images to separately created files/albums, thus allowing us to bulk upload and delete a supplier and the products?

I believe some form of folders options for stock and image photos. As with the present method these are all bundled together and random making hard to locate unless you have the photo number/id, if not you have to scroll through all images to find, this is long frustrating and time consuming so you end up downloading another of the same image, this then duplicates images.
if you were able to create and arrange these images & photos into folders for example categories as you wish this will help

i Could not agree more with this idea, it would make life so much easier if we had our images in a folder system, much easier too find, add to and delete.

The ability to sort images into named folders in the file manager. For example sort by product etc. This will make images alot easier to find.

There is a general need for Back End to have more Order By/ on data not just in this section, ideally shoudl be available averwhere not just in file manager :

Interestingly I’ve thought this for years but never though about suggesting it. As I only use it for product images I started using the item barcode (not ideal for everyone of course ie to hose that make their own products) and appending a hyphen and number at the end. I could then search and find image readily. Still a pain though to be honest.

Good call!

Folders would just hugely improve the experience i think. I wish i had used more descriptive names or barcodes, now they're all uploaded it's impossible to rename them without breaking the images on products or reuploading everything again.
