Re: Newsletter / Marketing: RDi RFE 121114

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Don, thank you for adding your comment.

Be aware that the ability to retain the Scratchpad list over a restart 
was specified in RFE 87812 - and rejected. (Reason given is that 
persistence can be achieved through Filters. I don't agree with this 
reasoning and have added a further comment to RFE 121114. I think you 
make a valid point.)

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=87812

The option to clear the Scratchpad list already exists. The right-click 
context menu includes an action to Remove All From View. The double-X 
icon is also visible in the toolbar for the Scratchpad, (right hand 
side). (But don't confuse Remove with Delete!!)

Hope this helps,
Brian.
