Category Manager

[norgan]

Hi there,
is anybody already thinking about a category explorer plugin to manage categories. Does the API allow for this at all ?

First thing comming to mind would be a Folder structure layout with features like
* moving
* copy & paste
* import
* export
* translation
* merging

Regards, Norgan

Alfresco Categories are Content Nodes, so there is no reason you can do all the things you want with them through the NodeService API.  Other APIs can also be used to manipulate Categories, although for what you want NodeService is more generic. 

Additionally, Alfresco supports having multiple category hierarchies, but that's not currently exposed in UI.  Ability to manage all category hierarchies would be great.
