    Disable Magic Organize in the frames sidebarOpen

    REQUEST: Disable the magic organize button on the frame sidebar. Or just make it go away. Or make it only available to the board owner.BACKGROUND: The “magic organise” button has disrupted two of my training sessions. I have a 200 frame canvas which I’ve meticulously organised over two years into columns (logically matching the top to bottom flow of the sidebar). One day about a month ago this wiggly button appears on the frame sidebar. One of my students (or I) inevitably click on it by mistake or out of curiosity and BANG all 200 frames are now ordered in rows. Unless I’m immediately aware that it’s happened (and immediately CTRL Z or ask the specific student to CTRL Z) the board’s order is destroyed and restoring it takes hours. “What slide are we on?” asks one of my students. “I’m sorry I don’t know” I have to say. I guess I could tell all my students NOT to press the wiggly button but that’s like telling someone not to think of juggling clowns… once you’ve said it, it’s almost impossible not to do it!ASIDE: This seems to reflect an attitude of throwing new options into Miro thinking that new options are always a “value add” without proper thought as to how it might impact particular use cases. These might be considered “edge cases” and therefore unimportant. But anyone who wants to use Miro for training / teaching and has a board setup over a long period of time would have given feedback that this “neat and helpful idea” potentially renders Miro almost useless for training / teaching.  

    Easily go to the near or far end of a line via the menuOpen

    I use a lot of boxes with lines connecting the boxes.  I do this because the line is a good, old-fashioned “visual hyperlink”.  This works pretty well when the number of boxes and lines is small, but as they increase, it becomes harder and harder to follow the line linkage between boxes.  Here is an real-world example:Looks a bit like a bowl of spaghetti. I use tricks (such as coloring the lines) to help distinguish the linkages, but with a complex, organic diagram -- like above -- it’s still difficult to follow the linkages.I propose that there be a couple of new menu items when a line is selected. The new menu items would be…Go to near end Go to far endDefinitions:  Based on the selection point (on the line), the...Near-end is the end of the selected line that is the least number of pixels from the selection point. Far-end is the end of the selected line that is the most number of pixels from the selection pointIn the rare case where the number of pixels is equal, the system might just have to pick a random end.  If it’s not the end that the user wanted, it would be easy for the user to try again.What should happen once the menu item is selected?If the selected end is attached to an object, focus should be on the object (i.e., the same as if a hyperlink to the object was chosen). If the selected end is not attached to an object, focus just goes to the end of the line.This would make it easier to traverse along the spaghetti bowl, following along the pasta between the meat balls.
