If you want to restructure your files in your media folders it can be tedious. Would be great if you can mark your files (checkboxes maybe) and then move/delete/… the whole batch.

I’m adding one feature here as well that we’re working on which will eliminate a lot of question we get and that is “Adding options to the project templates”. This means that can specify the setup you want when creating your project instead of having to modify it and change references the first thing you do. This would for example create a new project with SQLServer and Azure BlobStorage:

dotnet new piranha.empty -d SQLServer -s BlogStorage
