Re: Save AS with RDi - local only?

Hi Thomas

I do see that - very nice - more of the excellent capabilities you give us.

My concern is still that File->Save as... doesn't always lead you to the right location. When I'm actively editing, that option still seems the obvious one to use.

AND I will remember your option!!

Cheers
Vern

Vern,

Do you use the iSphere plug-in? Then there should be a "Copy Member(s) to..." when right-clicking a source member in the RSE view.

I never use the Object Table - never really needed that, and the various
"table" views didn't seem useful enough for me - I might have to take a
look further. But I think the RSE tree also could have a "Copy to...".

Most of my work comes through a CMS, anyhow, so even RSE isn't my first
place to work on things.

Thanks

Vern,

You can use the option 3 from the Object Table today. You don't need to be in the PDM Perspective to use the option, it's on the right click (or shift-f10) menu (PDM Options > 3 - Copy to) today even if you have the Options turned off on the Object Table view. We are looking at making this copy easier for multiple members, and our direction is to simplify ALL command actions, but still allow for the current full command prompt.

Example: Today if you use the "3 - Copy to" from the PDM Options popup menu, you need to select a location, then we prompt the full CPYSRCF command. Our goal is to add a simple interface that lets you override "most common" items quickly (ie the name, file, library) and press [OK]. But still allow a [Advanced] Button to let you select the old fully prompted command.

If you're not using the quick filters panel of Object Table view, you're missing out. The response is faster than RSE and for single library filters, it much easier to use. You can quickly create single library filters for RSE by naming them as well, so for most it's faster to create Member/Object/Library filters using Quick Filters.

But you can also use the filters WITHOUT needing to save them. Type in a pattern in the Member: field like AHE* and press enter, your list is displayed. Or keep it * for all members, and use the Subset tab on the quick filters to update the list live while you type. If you want to keep your filter, scroll down to the Named Filter: field and give your quick filter a name to use it on RSE.

Most of your PDM member options are present and work from a right-click popup menu (or shift-f10)

There is a Button on the Object Table button bar to hide/display the Quick Filters panel, and one to move it to the left or right.
