[Building Sakai] problem with the visibility of pictures when using the FCKeditor Resource Browser in Samigo

[David C. Minugh]

Hi,

2¢ from an end-user:

The problem lies partially in the one-page-at-a-time 
approach in many Sakai tools. For an average user, in 
situations where you have to go in and set a whole 
series of "read: visible" dates (3 files on Tuesday, 4 
next Tuesday, 2 the Tuesday after that, with Word files 
in one folder, pdf in another, etc.), it becomes fairly 
time-consuming. (That said, organizing folders by date 
might be better than by subject; thanks for the tip.)

Ideally, one would like a Resources tool that allowed 
you to see the tree structure in detail and click in 
the boxes for "show (on <date:time>)" for all 
applicable boxes. Some tools have this sort of more 
global approach; Resources allow you to copy/delete, 
although only within a folder, if I remember correctly. 
This sort of tool isn't needed on a daily basis, but 
would be a great time-saver when recycling and updating 
a course.

Yrs,
