(some additional thoughts came to my mind besides the where to put imported files to i already suggested here: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Fusion-360-IdeaStation-Request-a/Upload-directly-into-selected-folder/...
I wonder if there's a way to switch this of already but as i regulary import files into Fusion360 i get treated by this rather often.
Importing files most of the time works great which is fantastic of course and is caused by a great importer - kudos to the team for that.
But. Whenever i import 10 files i get:
- 10 "Alerts" telling me everything went well (sic!)
- 10 Emails telling me everything went well
- 10 PDF import reports in my activities timelines in the dashboard telling me... well.... quite nothing (but at least that everything went well).
In the single cases where imports failed i got:
- Alerts telling me that the import failed without giving a reason
- Emails telling me that the import failed without giving a reason
- PDF reports... well you got the point, right?
Could this be done anyhow smoother or is there probably a hidden switch to "avoid" this situation?
I personally would be totally fine with the progress bar only. The idea of the progress bar is great as you could roughly estimate how things are going. The icon changes its color if any progress is going on and i think you could also find a visual solution (like a colored exclamation mark inside the icon) if something fails.
I could completely go without emails, alerts and pdf reports. I'm fine with the reports if they just live inside the file details but i don't need them filling up my activity timeline.
After all: Less is more. period. 🙂
