Hi all, I am new in Drupal development and when was working with some views and blocks, I found some lack of usability in them. I don't know if in that list you receive suggestions for Drupal 7, but if so, bellow are two good ones: The blocks could be more interactive. It could be possible seeing the regions in the page and bellow a bottom bar containing the blocks, side by site. We could drag the blocks to the regions we choose. And it is a good idea having a filter such as: "show me only the blocks that are seeing in the 'archives' page", for example. In the views module, the change is simple. When I have to choose a filter or a field to show in my views, I usually look for the name of the field, but it would be better if I could filter by the content type that the field appears, because it is easier looking for the when you are creating a view to display all the content from one especific content type. To have that two options is a good advance in usability. Maybe you have already thought about this features. So if possible, I'd like do get a feedback about such development and maybe I can help too. Regards, -- Ivan Rocha
If you want your suggestions to be given consideration, a better way to make the suggestions is to file an issue against the Drupal project (blocks suggestion) or Views project (Views suggestion), rather than emailing this list. http://drupal.org/node/add/project-issue --Jennifer Ivan Rocha wrote:

Note that the suggestion for Views given would actually be for CCK, which controls where its fields show up in Views. I also don't think that suggestion would work out very well as there can be many, many content types and you would end up polluting the list of categories.
