Workspaces

Answered

Hello,
It would be awesome to support saving workspaces, not only seeing the "recently used" ones.
It would be great also to have settings be configurable for whole workspacce, not only for whole application or per directory in workspace.

Could you clarify, please what do you mean? Thanks.

It would be great also to have settings be configurable for whole workspacce, not only for whole application or per directory in workspace.

In fact it works exactly like this: Fleet can apply settings to global instance, user-specific, the separate workspace or sub-directories, please see the Settings layers.

I'm quite astonished about the lake of reaction concerning workspace.

Does everyone things its intuitive? For myself I find it whether intuitive nor documented.

I read: A workspace is created when you open a folder. In fact, a .fleet folder appears only, if you change something in the workspace setting. Exclude folder for example.

Its also there, that I would expect entries describing the folder added to a workspace. But no, where those are is a bit of a mystery.

And why should the name of the workspace be the list of the folders it contains. I have already a space with five folders. The name isn't to pretty anymore. Ok, Setting a pretty workspace name is not a priority, but iits  hopefully on the todo list.

So I understand wojciechK questions and hope there will be some clarifications.

Hello!

I've somehow missed last comment. Just for clarification I'd say that directory shouldn't be considered as a workspace. 
What I think a workspace is: a bunch of directories of my own choice. 

What I'd like to see:

  1.  When I open a "new workspace" I'd like to choose one or multiple directories to work on (this works as expected) and to be able to save this directories bundle for a future (this is wat I requested as a feature). Right now if I'd like to go back to this bundle, I have only an option to choose from recently used ones, but if I'm having multiple sets that I might be working on, this might be not enough. 
  2.  I'd like to see 3 different type of settings (top one in this list should be most important):  
    - Per directory
    - Per workspace  (bundle of directories)
    - Overall settings

Thank you very much wojciechK and Christoph von Siebenthal for your feedback!

> In fact, a .fleet folder appears only, if you change something in the workspace setting. Exclude folder for example.

Christoph von Siebenthal could you clarify, please, why is it a problem? What is the problem here exactly?
 

>Its also there, that I would expect entries describing the folder added to a workspace. But no, where those are is a bit of a mystery.

Christoph von Siebenthal not sure I 100% understand what you mean. Do you mean the icons for the 'Files' view items? If so, please feel free to vote for FL-15084 bring back folder icons request.

 

>And why should the name of the workspace be the list of the folders it contains. I have already a space with five folders. The name isn't to pretty anymore. Ok, Setting a pretty workspace name is not a priority, but iits  hopefully on the todo list.

Christoph von Siebenthal you can rename the workspace. Just click on its name. Does this help?

wojciechK could you please give some use case examples of how you would like to use it and why the existing functionality cannot help here? Thank you!

In fact it is possible in Fleet:

Workspaces allow for nested settings in their subdirectories. You can use them to achieve any level of granularity when you need custom settings for subdirectories.

Have you tried it, does something not work for you? Thanks.
