Here's my scenario. A user has created a collection and shared it. I want to take ownership of that collection. I can easily do this with the Google Docs UI and the API. However, once I do this, the collection now appears in both "My Collections" and "Collections Shared With Me." Even if I delete the user from the collection and then add them back, it always winds up appearing in both sections.
My problem with this is that when your organization has a lot of collections, this becomes very confusing for users. It's hard enough to get people to understand how collections work. I really need to be able to take ownership of a collection and take it out of the previous owner's "my collections" and make it only visible in "collections shared with me". Any ideas how to do this? Is this just a bug in Google Docs or is there an API call I can make to address this?
I suppose a workaround might be to take ownership, rename it, create a new collection with the original name, copy the permissions to the new collection, "move" everything into the new collection, make sure the new collection is in the same collections as the old collection, then delete the old collection. But as you would suspect I'm reluctant to do that unless I have no other choice.
Thanks!
