Add "Folder Tree" to Favorties

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Devolutions support. We presently do not have an option to add a folder and all its connection to your favorites. One option is when you favorite a folder you can see all the entries it has once selected. Another option is in your favorites to make a New Folder and favorite your connections that you would like to have, you will be prompted to select where to place the entries.

Best regards,

I just wanted to 'upvote' this request but can see no option to do so, so am adding a comment instead. I agree, for the Favorites functionality to be truly useful we need to be able to 'organise' entries within it. At the moment a favorited folder contains nothing and can have nothing added to it. I can't even drag, or add, a seperately favorited entry\session into the folder.

At the very least favoriting a folder should include the entries within the original folder.
Better functionality would be to have the option, when favoriting a folder, to include\favorite all\some of the entries within it at the same time, though seperately favoriting those entries and have them appear in the favorited folder would probably suffice.
Even better functionality would be to include that and to *also* allow 'Favorites' to be manually dragged\organised into bespoke folders within 'Favorites' (useful where working from a massive data source\heirachy of servers organised in a different (ie. 'corporate') manner to that which might be preferable by an individual working on, say, a single Product on numerous servers spread out within different places within the massive heirachy.

Thanks

Hello,
The problem with adding the entry is the complexity of how we keep the content in sync especially when it's used with multiple vaults. What we could do is to ensure that when you click on a favorite folder you get the sub tree hierarchy in the dashboard. Do you think it could help?

Hi David,

Yes, that sounds like the first suggestion I made above, which would help.  It would be really helpful if we could also edit the favorited hierarchy to remove\hide entries within the favorited folder too though.  Some folders can have huge numbers of entries, but we might only want a handful of them.  Perhaps a right click\context menu option for a favorited folder could be not just to ‘Remove’ it (already present) but also to ‘Reset’ it, re-syncing the favorited folder with the original source.  I don’t think people would mind that level of manual management to make the Favorites useful for them.

Regarding the complexities of keeping the favorited content in sync, from the functionality I see, it looks like Favorites are per vault and do not span them anyway.  For me, this would be fine, but I can see how it would be useful for other to have a favorites that spans vaults.

Regards
James
