List

Activate via "Manage" submenu

+ Clear workflow
+ "Paste" and "Copy to Clipboard" are visible on same level

- Workflow can be leaved unintentional by clicking on a tab. (Clutter of unhelpful elements in this workflow)

Table

Activate via Dropdown menu

+ Clear workflow (after finding "move" option in dropdown)


- Finding "Move" in a "Select" dropdown might be not so familiar like an "Action" menu (there are different ways for tables and lists to move objects).
- Workflow can be leaved unintentional by clicking on a tab. (Clutter of unhelpful elements in this workflow)

Table

+ Quick workflow (if you found "Insert" in Dropdown)


- Difficulty to find "Insert" option: "Insert" isn't in Dropdown when I first open it. Why it should be there after I clicked on "Move" option in dropdown?!
- Feedback "Question(s) selected for moving" not helpful to find "Insert" option.

Table

+ Quick workflow (if you found "Paste" on right corner of table)


- Difficulty to find "Paste" option: It's far away from where you clicked on "Move".
- Feedback "The selected question(s) are marked for moving" is not helpful to find "Paste" option.

+ Users are familiar with "Cut&Paste"-combination.


- Similar workflow like "Move" but called different.

2.2.1 Variant 1: Repository Tree in Modal

Procedure

1. Action "move"/"copy" opens a round trip modal. There you see whole tree of your media pool.
2. If desired: You can change to the whole repository tree (to paste items into another media pool). In this case you choose in repository your new media pool, afterwards tree structure of this media pool is displayed (a little bit like an internal link in page editor).
3. A hint is shown: "Now, please select the desired location, where the selected objects should be pasted into and click the button ‘Paste’."
4. You can choose the right place by clicking on a radio button (move) or one to several checkboxes (copy) (also the title of the (sub)folder can be clicked).
5. Click button "Paste".
6. Round Trip Modal closes itself.

Proposed changes

• Actions "Move" and "Copy" will be placed in dropdown menu in a "Action" column for each item for consistency reason.
• To reduce the clutter on the left side ("open" icon, radio or checkbox button, object icon and title) we suggest to move the radio/checkbox button on the right side and to mark the whole line (more like copy course, where you make your checks on the right side of table).

2.2.2 Variant 2: Clipboard

Procedure

1. Select one or more items.
2. Choose "Move" or "Copy" in dropdown menu.
3. Click "Execute".
4. Hint shows next steps you have to do: "The selected item(s) are marked for moving. Click "Paste" to insert item(s)." or "The selected item(s) are copied to the clipboard. Click "Paste" to insert item(s)."
5. Go to desired media pool and/or desired folder.
6. Click "Paste".
7. Hint shows everything worked fine: "The item(s) have been pasted into the media pool".

Proposed changes

• Actions "Move" and "Copy" will be placed in dropdown menu that exists already (with Execute button) for mutiple edit.
• Rename "Remove" option to "Delete" for consistency reason.

Open issue: Is there a rule, where button "Paste" has to be?
At the moment in examples above this button is placed in table. In copy/move process in lists this button is in a toolbar in submenu "Manage".

For media pool it could also be interesting to get such a "View / Manage" mode too (like Mediacast).

3.2.1 Variant 1: Repository Tree in Modal

Starting Point

Move

Copy

3.2.2 Variant 2: Clipboard

Move / Copy

By now it is possible to create folders in media pools and to put the media objects into this folders.
The feature I'm missing is to copy and move media object from one folder to another in the same media pool.
It should also be possible to copy and move media objects or the complete folders from one media pool to  another.

JF 19 Dec 2011: We highly appreciate the idea.

Oliver Samoila, 23 Mar 2015: I support this important feature for media pools and set it again for 5.1 on the JourFixe-Agenda.
