Tom,
I’m only trying to be helpful. The product will be whatever you think it should be.
What I’m pointing out is that the search fields at the top of most lists are very helpful for shortening very long lists. Specific examples are the Snapin Report page. the search fields make quick work of tracking an issue down on a PC or a Snapin.
For the auto-updating screens that have these same search fields, the issue is the time between updates and the temporary nature of the data one enters in the field. If one is tracking Snapin installation on a specific host, and filters the Active Snapin Task to do this, for my installation, which updates in a second or two, the list is reset to show all tasks in very short order.
So, is the time to update Auto-Updating screens a current FOG setting?
if so, I’ll look to set mine install for 10 seconds or so. I type slowly.
If there were a way for the filter to remain in place across a data refresh on the screen, that would be good. If it were, one could leave the screen up, monitoring progress on a give host until the list was empty.
That’s all I’m trying to say. I didn’t mean to imply in my message that this was a bug or a requirement. I worked with FOG v.32 for some time and have been off doing other things for the last 4 years. I’m familiar with the differences between v.32 and v1.5.0, but not so v1.0.0 thru v1.4.4. I surely have no idea how hard it would be to implement what I’m suggesting.
My apologies…
Jim
