[Prototype] New file management

[khalil.io]

Many publications require a lot of organization of memory and files.

• Manage content by selecting post, page or folders
• Manage URLs in batches by selecting multiple publications
• Replaces or deletes system files not only from the publication.
• Warnings about the files
• And many more options and tools

It is not a simple file manager, it is one adapted to a CMS like Ghost.

Perhaps this prototype can serve as inspiration for that idea or plan you have.

Continuing the discussion from Better image/file management & optimisation:

@John

A simple, minimal file browser

We may at some point create a very light file management UI within Ghost Admin for images. This isn’t a priority, because the only real use-case is for managing images which will be regularly re-used, such as a set of corporate brand assets. Beyond that, it’s just an incredible amount of work for very little reward.

A file browser UI is something that can be voted for on a new topic, but will likely not be implemented unless someone from the open source community decides to build it themselves and contribute upstream.

Best regards.

This would be great!

This, together with a internal linking search function would make ghost even better.

This is a much wanted idea. Like many others I am holding off using ghost for certain things simply due to the lack of file manager. I’d be quite happy to use a standalone (self-hosted) file manager to do the heavy lifting like renaming files and so on, but not quite sure how I could be able to call those files when in ghost (like, can I make a special card for those files?)
