Hi Paul,

View support in Office client save as/open dialogue.
When using 10k plus files in a doclib, views come in handy to filter.
Only when opening these files from a office client application there no support for those same views…

I would like to increase the column limits:

Windows SharePoint Services specifies limits for the number of columns of a certain type that you can create in each list or library. The following table lists the limits by column type.
Column Type Maximum Number
Single line of text AND Choice (Drop Down Menu or Radio Buttons)* 64
Multiple lines of text AND Choice (Checkboxes (allow multiple sections))* 32
Number AND Currency* 32
Lookup 16
Yes/No 16
Calculated 8
*In rows marked with an asterisk (*), the number given is the total for all columns of both of the types in the row combined. For example, you can create 16 Number and 16 Currency columns, or 30 Number columns and 2 Currency columns, but not 32 Number columns and 32 Currency columns.
Note When you create a list or library, the single line of text column Title is automatically created. You can customize this column, but not delete it.

I would really love to see the CQWP work across multiple site collections and also be able to pick which columns to display rather than just the “Title” column.

Just remembered another one .
Consistent use of the browse dialogue (findasset thingy??).
In a weblog post you have to “guest” the path to enter an image. There are many other places were it isn’t used consistently.

Hi Paul,

It would be nice to have an overview of the permissions applied to site->doclibs/list -> folders -> files/items.

In organisations where you can’t just share everything it’s very tempting to give a user specific rights to a folder or even a file…

I found this one way of adding the up arrow back but it has a bug in that it keeps going up until it errors out. You add this directly to the toolbar.asax file. This is from a post at: http://www.sharepointblogs.com/ryanday/archive/2007/09/14/adding-up-arrow-image-and-functionality-to-new-folders.aspx

Modifying the ToolBar.asxc

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES

\ToolBar.asxc

************* INSERT HERE *****************

{

string parentFolder = rootFolder.Substring(0, lastIndexOfLastFolder);

//Response.Write(“parentFolder=”+parentFolder);

// create the HREF url as well as onclick URL which will be used by the tag for the up button folder

string hrefURL = cleanLinkUrl.Replace(rootFolder, parentFolder + “&FolderCTID=”);

string onclickURL = hrefURL.Replace(@”%2f”, @”\u00252f”).Replace(@”/”, @”\u002f”).Replace(@”&”, @”\u0026″).Replace(@”%7b”, @”\u00257b”).Replace(@”%2d”, @”\u00252d”);

// well, we just put the upfolder image next to settings

System.Text.StringBuilder SB = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

SB.AppendLine(“”);

SB.AppendFormat(“ ”, hrefURL, onclickURL);

Response.Write(SB.ToString());

}

catch(Exception ex)

{

//Response.Write(“Error=”+ex.ToString());

}
