Option to add folders to manage VMs

[tessus]

I was wondering whether a feature request is possible or even feasible.

I have a lot of VMs and I have noticed that managing them via the UI can become rather tedious. Thus it would be very useful to be able to create folders, in which I can put the VMs. The possibility to add tags was a step in the right direction, but it hasn't solved the necessity to scroll like a madman. I know that I can always use the search functionality (which is great btw). Is there a keyboard shortcut to get the focus on the search field?

But using additional folders would also pave the way for additional future features, e.g. bulk action on all VMs within a folder.

Is this something that can be done or would that require a major code refactor?

Hey,

[1] is the place for things like this. You can perform bulk actions based on tags, and tags are basically (more flexible) folders

Thanks for the reply.

Yes and no. Yes, as in you can use tags for bulk actions and color coding your VMs. No, because you currently still have potentially hundreds of VMs within a single folder. This is not very manageable. It's not too user friendly either.

I'm not saying it absolutely necessary, but it could make an admin's life a lot easier.
