Re: Source Member Text

[Joe Pluta <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to train myself to use the table view.  While in many ways 
it's just a re-factoring of the data, there are enough functional 
differences that make it more useful than the tree view in many 
scenarios.  However, I've got a couple of quibbles right now that are 
just annoying enough to make me close the table.

1. The preferences don't seem to work, specifically the column 
selection.  I got to Preferences > Remote Systems > IBM i > Table view 
and there are a bunch of preferences, including "Specify columns and 
column order" but unfortunately changing the columns on that dialog 
doesn't seem to change how the table is displayed.

2. The columns are not sortable.  I'd really like to be able to click on 
the various column headings to sort them as needed.

Again, I'm trying to work with it and there are enough benefits that I 
should be able to use it.  But those quibbles are still an issue.  Maybe 
enough that I'll put in an RFE when I get a chance.

I have my Work With Member selections for each of the various source types but it would be nice to see the Member Text to assist me to more quickly locate and identify the member I want to edit. Even the workspace tab nor the hover information does show the member text. I know the text isn't too important but to an old WRKMBRPDM user seeing the text does permit quicker identification of other source members for reference.
