Re: New Library List View Feedback

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Prompted by Matt's feedback, I've been playing with the Library List 
View as well.

The Right-Click context menu is a bonus and I can live with this method 
to Move libraries Up/Down. (At least it is consistent with the Remote 
Systems View.)

Like Matt, I DO have a problem with the prompt to automatically activate 
a Connection. This happens when the View is initially opened (Show View) 
AND when RDi is started with the View already present. The steps I am 
having to follow are:

- Start RDi with the Library List View open as part of the current 
Perspective
- Prompt appears to connect to the first in the List - [Not a desirable 
behaviour]
- Cancel the prompt
- Use the Connections drop-down list to select the desired Connection: 
the above prompt appears again for the first in the list - [Not a 
desirable behaviour]
- Cancel the prompt a second time
- Use the Connections drop-down list a second time to (successfully) 
select the desired Connection
- Required prompt now appears

Hope this helps, Steve!

Brian.

As with all of our "right-click" menu options, you can activate it with a Shift+F10 key operation if you don't want to take your hands off your keyboard.
