Re: 9.5 with 9.6 was: RDi Birthday Celebration

Stuart,

I use the SoftLanding/Turnover Change Management System plug-in. And all their custom Turnover views have a setting to remember the column size! Very cool! And welcomed feature in the Turnover Plug-in!! Good Work! Available since Day-one! I think they created their RDi plugin back in 2008. Probably earlier than that, maybe 2006 or 2004.

Just wish that RDI could do it also. At least we know it is possible...

I use the table view very often, most of my co-workers use the Tree view, which I find cumbersome. Especially when you have a lot of members. Which is easy with the table view...

I have to adjust the table view every day. And I can only do one column at time with the "Table View" by RDI. What frustration.

OH well, there should be way to adjust and save the column size! Maybe time for an R.F.E. and wait a couple of years. <LOL>

It is not top priority, nor even a critical update. But still frustrating. I guess that is the nature of RDI.

In RDi 9.6 in preference on "Table View" it has a check-box for "Re-Open to previous State". But, I close the RDI table view and re-open, and once again I am forced to resize all the fields again. Maybe there is a shortcut to resize, which would take some of this pain out. But, I haven't found it...

I've been back to using 9.5 because 9.6 will not (again) remember the column widths in the Object Table view. Every time I start it up, the columns are excatly 1 character wide (the CONTENT is correct, I just can't see it). 9.5.1.1 eventually remembered the column widths, but I don't know how or why it did so. 9.6 never remembers and I have to drag the columns wider so I can use the table every time I start it up.
