Add to favorites function

Dear Datagrok team,
I am utilizing Add to Favorites feature to add projects and folders to my favorites.
If possible, would you consider adding the same functionality for folders in mounted file systems?

For example Demo folder can be added but monted one not.

In our company environment, we create shared folders and personal folders within mounted file systems, so being able to add them to favorites would be beneficial. This issue might be specific to my environment, so please let me know if you need any additional information.

Best regards,
Kosuke

Dear Kosuke,

Great question and good timing - we were just discussing something similar earlier this week with @ppolovyi and @dkovalyov. I will let guys comment on this.

Dear Kosuke,

Thank you for your valuable feedback and for sharing how your team is using the Favorites feature.

You’re absolutely right — currently, it is possible to add standard connections like “Demo” to your favorites, but folders located within connections are not supported in the same way.

We’d like to share that in our upcoming release, we’re introducing a new feature called Spaces. This will allow users to create their own workspaces that can hold not only files and folders but also entities such as connections, queries, projects and more. While this is not exactly the same as adding folders to favorites, we believe it may provide a similar or even improved way to organize and access frequently used resources.

Once this feature is available, we’d be very interested in your feedback to see if it meets your needs. If not, we’ll be happy to further explore adding support for folders in Favorites based on your input.

Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or would like a preview of the upcoming Spaces feature.

Best regards,
Pavlo

Dear Pavlo,
That sounds fantastic. New idea “space” is definitely superior to my original suggestion because it will include not only folders but also files and other options.
Of course I am glad to give you feedback after release. I am looking forward to seeing it.
Best regards,
Kosuke
