User story
Business value: Speed. Better editorial user experience. Currently, the Asset chooser always starts at the root. When you add multiple assets to a page or story finding the same subfolder again is cumbersome and slow. Reproduce Acceptance criteria

This is an excellent idea. +1 We also extended the asset choosing with the following behaviour:
In this way we help the editors to keep DAM tidy. Without this feature we found that ALL images were being put in the root level of DAM. |

The image chooser should automatically go to the last selected folder location Navigating a folder hierarchy takes a lot of clicks and scrolling but going to the root of the folder hierarchy is fast. When creating a page with multiple images that are stored in the DAM, this would save lots of user time, frustration and event help prevent RSI |

A small PoC with these references:
The PoC opens the last used item (not the last folder) as the generic framework doesn't know how to to retrieve an asset parent folder or what actually is a parent folder for e.g. page.
This could be easily configurable per linkField config level but Magnolia doesn't have any similar user altering behaviour. This would be a feature of a different magnitude. |
