Is it possible to display a treeview with a table of contents? As it is now, the viewer of a portofolio has to drill down into every subfolder to see what it contains.
It would be very useful to have a TOC show the entire contents of a portfolio.
Any javascript solution available, or could this become a feature for a future release?
Thanks

Wow, a tree view is a great idea. I'm shocked that no one has thought of this before.

The "Home" window in a portfolio is called a Navigator. It's actually a flex application and you can create your own custom Navigators if you know flex programming. Which is the only way you're going to get this functionality. However, this is far from a trivial task.

There are people out there creating custom navigators so you can probably find someone that could do it.

Thom,
I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. As I am new to this forum, and since nobody has stepped forward, I don't know what source to tap into to find a specialist willing and able to create such a navigator (for a price, of course).
Thank you.

Check out the Portfolio Gallery:

There are some custom layouts here:

And you'll find more info here:

You might find some people on these resources that could do the work. I don't think there are many.
