Fw: WSDc 5.0

["Phil Coulthard" <coulthar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim, regarding your requests:
  #1. Drill down. We do today in 4.0 support expanding any library to
         see all the objects, and expanding any source file to see all the
         members, just like option 12 in PDM.  So I assume what you are
         asking for is slightly different, and I think you are asking for
the
         ability to filter each expansion, instead of showing all the
children,
         and you'd like to be able to specify this filter information for
         each level (lib, obj and mbr) in the filter itself.   Is this
correct?
         If yes, then we do not support this, but its an interesting idea.
         However, what is new in V5 that might help a bit is an
         "Expand To" action in the popup menu for a library, allowing
         you to expand that library by a specific object type. I've
         tried to include a screen shot here, but it might not survive
         the posting.

   #2. Be able to drag an object/member from one place to another,
         as a copy operation. This we are delivering in 5.0! And beyond
         your expectations perhaps ... source files and members can
         actually be copied between systems, and even to/from local or
         Unix or Windows or Linux systems.

   #3. Something about right clicking for delete being good and bad.
         Not quite sure if there is a request here or not.

Hope this helps!
