    I wrote an extension for syntax highlighting but I'm really bad at keeping it updated. Ideally I would like to see syntax highlighting and working TAB key wherever there is Razor, XML or HTML displayed. Component Source tab RTF source tab Schema...

    As a user of Tridion, I would like the ability to search for multiple components at one time. For example when I have to update 15 components from different folders, I want to pull up the list of all 15 so I can view them at the same time. Currently...

    Currently, if you publish a publication or a structure group, you end up with a single publishing transaction. We've accepted this for years because it's "just the way Tridion works". I would generally suggest that creating one big publish transaction...

  • Multi-threaded SDL Translation Manager

    • Accepted, Not Yet Planned
    • 1 Comment
    So far, the only way to have simultaneous jobs being processed at the same time is to scale out the SDL Translation Manager service. It would be ideal if the SDL TM service could better benefit from the machine resources...

    So far, Users have no overview of the Workflow Process Definition unless they have MS Visio + SDL Workflow Designer installed on their client machine. This is rather an unfavorable manner to view the steps. Many systems offers the possibility for the...

    Ability to apply security to a field, and read-only to a field for a group of editors. This would allow us to make more content manageable in the GUI, and would help in translation scenarios where we want to give a translator access to the text content...

    When creating schemas, we have the option to set a text field as rich text, and to also determine exactly what editing features are available to that rich text field. This is great, but when I am creating many new schemas with similar fields that have...
