[FEATURE REQUEST] The Affinity Suite Needs an ASSET MANAGEMENT Dialog

[David in Mississippi]

What AFFINITY needs (in all 9 apps) is an ASSETS MANAGEMENT dialog panel. This panel should operate like the Bookmarks dialog in a browser such as Firefox, such that it shows a hierarchical folder structure in the left window pane, and the contents of the selected folder in the right pane, whether those contents be actual assets or more subfolders. In this ASSETS MANAGEMENT dialog, users should be able to:

• Drag folders
  • to Different locations within the folder structure
  • INSIDE other folders
  • OUTSIDE of their current folder to any location
• Drag ASSETS to drop them inside any other folder. Hold down CTRL/CMD to drag a copy of that asset, leaving the asset in the original folder.
• Export a folder to an .afassets file
• Import an .afassets file and place it anywhere within the folder structure, either as a new folder that defaults to the same name as the .afassets file but is editable, or as individual assets within a folder the user selects.

I am relatively new to using Affinity software (6 months), and I love it - but Affinity REALLY needs to be upgraded to allow more things we need, such as Assets Management as described above.

You missed the most important feature that is sorely lacking - proper asset name management. Right now if I drag & drop a folder of SVG files, half of them will be named after the file while the other half will get a generic "Group" name and I still haven't figured out what the rule is. Renaming 287 assets by right click -> Rename asset takes forever.
