where did "file topic" go?

jimjwilliamson:

Where do we stand on this now?

File Topic is being redesigned for a future v5.x release. I don't have a release estimate at the moment.

It's Monday morning, the only emails in my inbox are from this morning, (YaY Me!) The problem is, there are 68 of them already, 30+ of which are 'review only' material for me, and all flagged to one project folder. In v4, to clear those out and get to the important work all I needed to do was select one of them, click my friendly 'File Topic' button, and away they went... now I have to sort by category, and then click once per email... this is not saving me time...
The only other thing I I have an issue with, and I didn't look to see if this had been mentioned anyplace else, is I miss having my 'File Explorer' in that little right hand window, I didn't actually miss it until this morning.

I think you're doing this the hard way:

• If you want to file ALL messages in your Inbox that have a project assigned to them, press CTRL-A to select all messages in the inbox and press the File button. It will file all messages with a project assigned, but leave those that do not have a project assigned.
• Alternatively, after you have sorted by Project, highlight all messages from projects that you want to file and press File.

Thanks for the feedback!

Okies, hoping for a date was a shot in the dark, thanks for the reply though!

As for the tip... the second one, sort by project, then highlight that project, is what I am doing now... I'm just a little slow to catch on sometimes, realized I could do that right after I posted, you'd think in my position I would have done that sooner... that will hold me over until you have a better solution...

Thanks!

Still a few more clicks and not the same feature, but for those of you that are frustrated enough to roll-back, you may want to try some of the suggestions first.

I would it appreciate it if you would describe in more detail how you are using this feature. Specifically, now that you have followed the changes outlined in Deva's post, what extra steps are required in v5 that weren't there in v4? Thanks.

For me, the main difference (in this particular change) is:

Before:
To assign a Project to an item, I simply go to the CC Toolbar and, in the TOPIC textbox had to write the project name. That's it.

Now:
After having added the "Project" button to the CC Toolbar:
Have to go to the CC Toolbar, click on the "Project" button, it will show a pop-up with the project suggestions and the (really needed) textbox "Start typing to find a Project".

Actually, if you sum-up clicks and enters, it's exactly the same. But I really miss that textbox, because when you selected an Item, it showed its Project, and for me it is more visual.

Have spend some time trying to add it to the toolbar, sadly haven't found a way.

The Project name is shown in the File Msg button by default. If you remove the File Msg button from the toolbar, it will be shown in the Project button.

Thanks for the feedback.

That still doesn't answer the question of what happened to the File Topic Button. This is driving me nuts, that's how I could quickly clean out my inbox. Now I have to process a lot more emails.

File Project (formerly File Topic) was added back in v5.1. Add it to your toolbar via ClearContext > Options > UI/Toolbar.
