RE: Remote Systems Explorer in RDP - What would you do to make it better ? -- MIDRANGE-L

If you right-click on the Filter Pool there is a Delete function. I have not had the balls to do this.

Hi Paul,

I knew about filter pools, but i didn't check this one .
You are right, the bottom one is in another filter pool.

When i add a new object filter i have to choose between two filter pools.
Apparently i have put the bottom one in the "wrong" filter pool.

I try to always choose the same one, i don't know why i have two anyway.
One is with my PC name, the other with the server name.

How do i get rid of one of the two filter pools, which i did not create?

I will respond to the filter issue as it used to bother me... it
depends on what filter pool your filter resides. You can only move a
filter within it's 'Parent filter pool'.
When you click on a filter you can see in the property view the Parent
filter pool. When you copy a filter one of the things you are prompted
for is the filter pool to place the copy in.
There is an option is RSE to show filter pools in the Remote Systems
outline. In Preferences>Remote Systems> there is a checkbox for 'Show
filter pools in Remote Systems view'.

IHTH

Sir (haven't caught your name),

I have many frustrations with RDP. You are not alone. In 8.5.1 I am
actually suffering some of the issues you mention (though I never
suffered them in 8.0.3). I'm losing track of versions, is there an
8.1? Anyway, I have numerous content assist PMRs (some converted to
RFEs due to things being designated as working-as-designed) and also
one about a memory leak (which I know others are experiencing as
well). I simply watch my heap storage and when it gets high (1gb) I restart RDP.

In regard to moving filters, I can do it. I don't recall not being
able to on previous versions. If you right click a filter, you get a
Move Up and Move Down option in the popup menu. You can only move one
position at a time, so instead of moving one filter down over and
over, you can select a group of filters to move once.

Hope that helps,
Kurt

You are both right.

This is not the place.

But i couldn't resist.
Maybe i hoped for other developers that have the same frustrations
with RDP, but maybe i am then only one then.

Anyway, to be honest, i don't think it will help much.
Opening a PMR - to IBM / Rational - about me not being able to move
up/down an object filter?

It will cost me time, and with no results.
I'm sure these kinds of little problems are already reported 1000s of
times.

Call my cynical

I strongly agree with Rob, if you have a problem with RDP, open a
PMR (for each specific problem). I suppose if you're going to open
PMRs, you may want to be on the latest version, because I'm sure the
first thing they'll tell you is to upgrade. I have opened many PMRs
in regard to RDP. In fact, anytime I run across something that
doesn't

work right, I report it.

It's good for me and it's good for IBM and it's good for the community.
There is also a community-based RFE (request for enhancement) page
that IBM uses to gauge the community's needs.

Can you upgrade to the latest version of RDP? Perhaps some of those
issues are fixed.

If you have this paid for, what happened when you opened a PMR with
IBM and reported these issues?

What kind of PC are you running this on? In "System" mine says
Processor: Intel Core i7-2720QM CPU @ 2.20GHz
RAM: 16.0GB (15.9 GB usable)
System type: 64-bit Operating system Windows 7 Professional SP1

Please avoid burying obscenities in your text. There are many
recipients who might be able to help you but their corporate email
systems may block your message.

You may want to upgrade and then bring your concerns to the WDSC
list hosted by this site. (and maybe even open a pmr or two).

ps: IBM's quality is better than the prose of your email.
