Nested groups: apply actions recursively on sub-groups?
Posted: Thu May 15, 2014 10:36 am
I have a system of hierarchical/nested groups with about 3-5 levels and a lot of contacts rearranging them often (created by syncing Outlook Categories devided by a point "." to my android device) like this:
Clients.X.Y.Z.contacts
Clients.A.B.C.contacts
private.d.e.f
service.a.b.c
...and many more ...
They are "merged" on my android device.
I'd like to be able to long-press, for example, on "Clients" selecting it and applying actions from the context menu recursively to all sub-groups and all contacts within the group hierachy of "Clients" like "assign a ring tone" or simply delete "Clients" and all of its sub-groups (with the contacts in all of them).
To my opinion implementing this would mean fully supporting hierarchical groups in the real sense. What do you think?
