Known Issues:

  1. Install - The new view that is created uses the name of the page template.  I have not had time to fix it so that it has a nice name, like "Standard View".
  2. Uninstall - The uninstall process does not currently remove the skin layer from the skin stacks.
  3. Uninstall - The uninstall does not currently remove the folder_map_view option from the Display Menu.  This can be fixed by going to portal_types -> folder, and removing "folder_map_view" from the "Available view methods" property.
  4. Uninstall  / Existing folders - Any folders that have had their default view set to "folder_map_view" will likely throw an error about the view missing, after the uninstall, because the default view is stored on a folder-by-folder basis.  I do not currently have a good story for how to handle this, but it can be fixed by removing the "layout" property from the folder object in the ZMI.
  5. Workflow - The folders on the map do not display the styles representing each folder's workflow state.  Since Sharepoint does not have an equivalent feature, the initial functional design did not include this.  Should be very simple to add for anyone that requires it.

None of these are show stoppers, but if you run into other issues or you have ideas for enhancements, feel free to email me.
