    Not really Daniel, I think you can consider javascript customization as a new option on top of vbscript and all other customization possibilities.

    There is an easy to install customization alternative that will allow "Expand all" folder. Check this link for more details: https://meridian.hashnode.dev/how-to-add-custom-expand-all-functionality-to-power-web-interface

    the same situation about root folder we have today in the poweruser and root-folder, it is something we learn to user to not do this.

    - one way could be to limit this function and allow it only from an defined folder-type for example project. 

    - or have an event like beforeDrillDown or so where we could customize what should be possible

     

    Quick Search is not the same because the user will not see field-path, but if you are able to display a result of the quick-search in a folder tree (like to good old Automanager)....

     

    Regards

    Daniel

    Thank you for sharing this additional information.

    The thick client and the web communicate with the server very differently, and that is one of the main reasons this has not been included in the web client. While the idea of “expand all” sounds like a useful function, the actual execution could be really costly from a performance and expectations perspective.

    For example, if a user asked Meridian to “expand all” folders from the root folder of a vault with hundreds of thousands of folders and documents, this action will take a long long time to complete and it will also consume a lot of resources on the server (think CPU, memory, database queries, and more). This will result in a frustrating experience for the user that initiated it because the process will take a long time to complete and diminished performance for all other users.

    Development is considering listing the number of sub-folders and documents and also show a ‘quick search’ of documents from which users can filter further. Would this help users to locate the documents they need?
