I am very disappointed Autodesk provides Data Standard and doesn't explain that you need to be a programer to use it. Autodesk claims you can do so much with Data Standard to standardize your file properties but doesn't mention that you have to have programming skills and know several computer programming languages to use it (xaml, xml, C#, Net.DLL, etc.).
If the idea is to use Data Standard to standardize entry of file and folder properties, then why doesn't Data Standard shut off the default "Add Files..." menu that users can select to bypass Data Standard entirely? The default "Add Files..." selection should be replaced with an "Add Standard Files...." dialog window. The default Data Standard should include:
- Add Standard File ... (this would allow custom properties to the file that is being added from outside Data Standard)
- Create Standard File ...
- Create Standard Folder...
It should also include tools to allow the average user to actually use and customize it.
