Re: New Library List View Feedback

Hi Steve,

a) I likey.
b) muy flexible.
c) Scrollable pane, a much better solution.
d) Visual cues are great. Ghosted is another option with less real estate.

Should I then submit an RFE using your list?

Thanks again,
Matt

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the great input on the Library List. We will be expanding this new view in the future, and as always would love Requests For Enhancements (RFE).

Can I summarize your feedback as follows?

a) Library List Connections dropdown should be ordered with the active connections first, not Alphabetical order
b) Clicking on an inactive connection should not automatically attempt to connect - an action should be required first
c) The Library List Data Table should be on a scrollable pane so the buttons do not move to review the list
d) The Connections list drop down should contain an icon to quickly determine if a connection is connected.

The Connection: drop down is a shared component with the Object Table View Quick Filters. We'd also like to give the ability to connect/disconnect/verify connections from this component. Because of this, we'd prefer to keep all connections.

For a work around for the moving buttons, we did implement a "right-click" menu that has the options for moving the current library, as well as a host of other menu options. 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.

Thanks for helping make RDi better for everyone!
