Pickers must remember their last location and start from there
Use-case:
Our editors create pages on specific topics and upload assets related to that topic. They very often upload the assets into the same folder to have everything in one place. Then they start to build a page and add the assets to the page.
Current/Experienced Behavior:
For the first image asset:
1. Drags in Image Component
2. Opens asset picker
3. Navigates all the way to the sub-sub-sub-sub folder
4. Selects asset
5. Confirm
6. Confirm
For the second image asset:
1. Drags in Image Component
2. Opens asset picker
3. Navigates all the way to the sub-sub-sub-sub folder
4. Selects asset
5. Confirm
6. Confirm
... repeat for each asset
Improved/Expected Behavior:
For the first image asset:
1. Drags in Image Component
2. Opens asset picker
3. Navigates all the way to the sub-sub-sub-sub folder
4. Selects asset
5. Confirm
6. Confirm
For the second image asset:
1. Drags in Image Component
2. Opens asset picker
4. Selects asset
5. Confirm
6. Confirm
... repeat for each asset
So, pickers should remember their last location and start from there, at least for the current session.
