I’ve installed 1.4.6 and my problem with file list is solved. It’s ok now, because there is no ‘animation’.

I still hope in the future there will be workspace with all open tabbles, because I need this view very much.

There is one more minor, but important improvement: when you build and show tabbles list (after 1st tabble was selected) it will be much better to sort tabbles by folders 1st and by names 2nd. Right now tabbles from different folders are mixed and it’s not useful.

Thank you for quick improvement and your patience 🙂

Best regards

Right. First, a list of tabbles. Then, a list of files.

And I can see this list in progress, it does not appear instantly – it takes short time.

Wait. What list can you see in progress? The list of files or the list of tabbles?

On my machine, the list of tabbles appears (almost) instantly, whereas the list of files appears with a delay. Do you confirm?

Yes, I confirm 🙂

Or does the list of tabbles appear with a delay on your machine? This would be a bug.

Of course I can click another tabble before list is complete, but it’s a bit uncomfortable 🙂

Do you mean you are uncomfortable clicking a tabble from the list of tabbles before the list of files is complete? But that’s exactly what you are supposed to do… why does this feel uncomfortable to you?

Because I try to catch all list before next click :). I can’t concentrate on tabbles, because I see new and new elements in the list :). It’s more psychologycal problem (and may be it’s my personal problem), but for me it’s uncomfortable to click at the element of unfinished list 🙂

This way you would click once (or twice…) and have all the tabbles visible in the tree. I believe this would improve the situation and solve 50% of the problem. 😮 :geek:

…

What we’ve been thinking too is implementing a view mode in the old main window where you can see all the tabbles at once (regardless of their nesting) and get them grouped by color… this is also feasible but rather complex to implement therefore we can’t put in top of our roadmap right now… 😕

If you can do same ‘group open’ feature in the ‘plain’ view (old workspace) it will be great. May be grouped around ‘nest’.

And for me there is no need in special color function, it’s useful if color is an attribute of tabbles group (nest).

One more important thing: I store file library on the NAS and access them by WiFi, so when you try to filter all files after each tabble click is very slow for me. Can you some desync tabble clicking (crating filter, really) and files list processing? It will be very good for me to have a possibility to combine some tabbles ASAP (without delay caused by file access) and then wait a bit to get filtered list?

And please :), add tabbles DB sharing – I use notebook and desktop to access to NAS and it will be awesome to use one tabble base 🙂

But I am trying to get accustomed to the new interface. The workspace is still there, colour groups are still around. Let’s wait and see.

NO 🙁 I’ve moved all tabbles in this f**** nests and now workspace is useless: there are only nests. So:
1. I can’t find and correct tabbles – I have to review this f**** tree in left panel
2. I have mixed trash (tabbles, folders, files) in the right halfwindow
3. When I try to find something I have to:
a) open tabbles folder in the tree (instead of pan & zoom in one mouse movement)
b) after one tabble selection I get all further possible tabbles and files (and other nest is still closed) so I’ve to open tabble group
c) repeat ? twice
d) get my single book ___at the end of tabbles list__

May be it will be more clear if I’ll name my tabbles groups.

I have really big histrical library. So groups are:
– time period (centuries from XXI bc to XXI, ‘named’ periods: ‘Ancient kingdom’, ‘New kingdom’ etc)
– geographic region
– science (history, biology, archeology etc)
– craftsmanship/technology (military, fortification, weapon, land transport, management, agriculture etc)
– document type (book, map, picture etc) – and IT IS NOT FILE EXTENSION!

I used tabbles to solve 2 problems:
– create my personal ‘ontology’ – sets of tabbles, really
– access library through this ontology

And now I’ve totally lost 1st task :(((((( – this f***** tree is not usable for me AT ALL. 2nd goal is ok – I still can find files.
I think it’s possible to do 2 small improvements:
1st: separate right panel in two: upper with tabbles only and lower with files and folders, and does’not refresh file list every time I combine tabbles 🙁
2nd: make ‘autoexpand’ feature in workspace view, then I can see nested (and useless) tabbles in groups around ‘nests’ as it was in previous version.

Sorry for poor english and high emotions. I feel myself like a kid, after his new toy was broken by elder brother 🙂

Best regards

I was very happy, when I’ve found Tabbles, because it looks like a solution for big interconnected library. Tree idea is not just bad for this purpose, it’s totally useless 🙁

Sorry
