Improve and consolidate folder selector
The folder dropdown selector is implemented differently across Checkmk. Some implementations use a simple text representations for the folders, like on the command line. No search is available here.
Others implement a graphical tree and search, but show only the last directory (leaf) but not the full path. This makes it hard to see, what has been found, if there are similar folders in different paths
Please consolidate the different implementations and make the usable

Thomas Lippert Admin MergedIn various areas in the software, a different folder selector is implemented. Some show a graphical tree and have search capability, others are a plain list. Please provide 1 consistent implementation

mike1098Asking for long for such an improvement. In large scale environments the folder selection dialog is a pain.

Florian Krieger MergedI would definitely prefer the variant with search and would like to have another possibility to get the respective subfolders optionally displayed.
This could be a selectable box in the search window, which is called "show subfolders".
Background: We have built the structure according to locations. Thus we have under each location the point server or switches with partly further subfolders.
If I now want to create a rule for a subfolder of a location, I have to search for it manually from the long list of folders. -

Mike1098A pure search will fail in our environment because it will have too much matches. We would prefer a collapsible tree as any file explorer has.

JPHJust keep all consistent via internal plugins/classes/functions/methods/profiles/etc. for reuse it.
The problem we see on all different rules a mix of different settings and possibilities which should be the same. -

Martin Hirschvogel AdminAs part of portal maintenance, we would have to close this as there were no upvotes in the last 6 months. However, due to the number of upvotes this suggestion has, we decided to keep it open.
