[Feature Request] Cloning and Symlinking for Apps & Groups #1430
Comments
Im sorry for the confusion, but i was talking about Webdock. Here's a practical scenario to explain my requirement: Imagine I have a group with all my Gmail accounts. I also maintain a separate group dedicated to a specific project, wherein I need access to just one of those Gmail accounts. In the current Wavebox setup, I have to recreate that particular Gmail app within the project group, even though it already exists in another group. This process can be tedious and can lead to redundancy. My proposal for App/Group Symlinking is aimed at addressing this issue. With true symlinking, I could simply create a symbolic link to that one Gmail account from my main group and place it within my project group, not a workspace. |
Thanks. I'll pass this on to the team 👍 |
Feature description
To further enhance the user experience and provide flexibility in managing these applications and groups, I propose the introduction of two new features: App/Group Cloning and App/Group Symlinking.
Detailed Requirements:
App/Group Cloning:
Objective: Allow users to create an exact copy of an existing app or group within Wavebox.
Use-Case: This can be especially useful for users who want to maintain separate instances of the same app for different purposes (e.g., personal vs. professional).
Expected Behavior: Upon selecting the "Clone" option, the browser should create a new instance of the app/group with all the existing settings intact. Users should then be able to rename and modify the cloned instance independently of the original.
App/Group Symlinking:
Objective: Provide the ability for users to create symbolic links to apps or groups. This essentially would act as a reference or shortcut, allowing the same app/group to be accessed from multiple places within Wavebox without duplicating the underlying data or settings.
Use-Case: For users who frequently switch between different workflow setups or contexts, symlinking can help by enabling quick access to frequently used apps/groups without the need for constant reorganization.
Expected Behavior: When a user creates a symlink, it should clearly indicate that it's a link and not a standalone app/group. Any changes made in the linked app/group should be reflected in the original and vice-versa.
