Folders in the Recent Project View

71 votes

I would like to see a way to create folders in the Recent Projects view when you start Dabble. This would allow the user to store projects based on genre and/or archive completed projects.

This is so necessary! Some of us don't just have ONE or Two projects we work on and it gets VERY crowded on that landing screen!

A way to file books in a series so that my dashboard doesn't look so cluttered.

When you first open Dabble to see all your various projects, I would love to be able to have "folders" or piles, stacks, etc, where I can group projects together. To group together completed projects, for instance, or things I've started but am not focusing on, projects I'm co-authoring versus writing on my own, various genres, on and on. That way, the most pertinent projects stay up front where it's quick and easy to find them, and if there's something I haven't worked on recently, I can quickly follow the path to find that as well instead of skimming through endless project thumbnails.

I really need this to be a thing! I always have so many projects and series on the go at one time, it would be amazing to sort through them easier!

ie: A folder per series, a folder per genre, etc...maybe even sub folders? ie: a folder for series then sub folders for every book!

This is what I am looking for in a writing app. I have so many stories on the go that being able to sort them by genre and series etc would be so helpful. I'd like to be able to open my writing app and select a World then select which Series in that world then select which Book in that series then be able to get to work. This would make a huge difference to me. Instead of having to search through all the novels I am working on to find the one I want. Folders and subfolders. I'm still trying to find a good writing app that has this.

Folders on the recent projects page would be so helpful! I have several projects going at once in different genres and I create separate dabble manuscripts for my Series bible and the actual books so I would love the option to group related works together.

It would be great to be able to archive a project that I'm no longer working on but don't want to delete - so I don't have lots of projects showing on the 'Recent Projects' page.

Please this would be perfect. I use dabble for ghostwriting and for fanfiction and write so many different things at once. I'd love to be able to organise them all. It's a must for those of us who have hundreds of files!!

I agree! I'd love to be able to have one big "Short Story" folder to keep those separate from my novels. Would definitely help the organizer portion of my brain.

I agree so much, because I have various projects going on right now and a form of organizing that would be perfect!

As someone who uses dabble for both my original AND fan fiction work, both long form and one shots alike, it would make organization so much easier so im not scrolling through 20+ projects when i could instead just pop into a folder and grab what i need

Adding folders would be very useful. I currently have 5 projects of my own, and co-author 4 other projects with friends. It gets confusing when they're out of order, then I have to navigate to them to put them back.
