Hello,

after adding my 27th subfolder under a folder the listing becomes wierd looking. Take a look at the attached screenshot.

 

Anyone know how to fix this issue?

You have entered "bucket" mode. After some number of sub-folders we go into a display mode where we add another layer of branches in the tree that displays the folder tree. This layer breaks the remaining sub-folders into buckets alphabetically. We do this to solve the case where there are thousands of items at a level in the tree. The performance would be terrible if we didn't do this. Consider the case of having 10,000 users on the system (or 100,000 users). The "Personal Workspaces" tree could take minutes to display. So, we "bucketize" it.

I believe that the bucketing starts when you reach 25 sub-folders. But this value can be raised by adding:

wsTree.maxBucketSize=50

to the ssf-ext.properties file in the webapps\ssf\WEB-INF\classes\config directory in your installation. This would increase the number to 50 before you see buckets.

Thanks for the explanation Peter and I will try that setting when I get back to work tomorrow.

Peter,

do you know if there are going to any design changes to the view when it reaches the bucket limit because IMO it looks quite wierd?

We don't have any design review planned for this. The bucket mode has been there just as you see it since v.1.

However, if you have suggestions for how to make it look better, we'd be glad to consider them.

I can see that it looks a lot better in T3 so I'm happy :)

 

Thanks
