Re: Newsletter / Marketing: RDi RFE 121114 -- WDSCI-L

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.

I have voted for your RFE.

I have started using the scratchpad again after watching the utube video
you reference.

One other thing that would be good in my opinion would be to have the list
in the scratchpad optionally last over a restart and have an option to
Clear scratchpad.

I can open an RFE for this but just was interested who would agree with
this ?

Thanks

For anyone who might be interested, I have added the following RFE for RDi:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=121114

The Description reads,
"The Remote Scratchpad view in RDi is proving to be exceptionally useful
when handling a number of different objects and source members at one
time. (Ref. Charles Guarino's YouTube video here:
https://youtu.be/gVnH5rgpSu8)
The Scratchpad allows for simpler navigation than Object Table selection
and Remote Explorer filtering when the items have unrelated names and
reside in different libraries or source files.
However, one shortcoming of the Scratchpad is the lack of key actions in
the item context menu. In particular, it would be very helpful to have:
- Verify
- Compile
- Compile (Prompt)
- User Actions
listed as appropriate in the context menu for a source member. (To
achieve these actions requires navigation back to other views, or having
the source open in an active edit session.)"

Not a showstopper, just a "nice to have". If you're as keen as me to see
this implemented, please cast your vote at the above link.

Brian.
