Groups List

Postby ppan » Tue Jun 21, 2011 3:51 am

I just installed v6 and immediately had some questions about the Groups List Tab, but I think that they may actually be feature requests..(?)

1. Is it possible to create sub-folders in the Groups Window, e.g.
Default Groups
--- Automobiles(2)
--- Music(1)
.
.

2. Is it possible to add Notes for a group (e.g. in a field in the group properties). This would be very helpful for me!

3. Can I choose what columns to shows (e.g. from the Group Properties)?

I assume by sub group, you mean nested more than one level deep, as in cars/vintage/groupnames? Nope. Personally if I want to categorize further, I'll just prefix a letter or word to the name.

Yes, right click "New Folder".

I can consider 2 and 3 down the road. What kind of properties do you want to see? It might not be something I'm tracking.

1. Right clicking "New Folder" only creates a top level folder. I am not able to create a subfolder (where I can keep the groups; see example above). Drag-drop also does not work.
3. Mainly the Notes for the group (as suggested in #2)

Top level folder is all you get. I'm not likely to make it any deeper.
I suggest, as Dthor suggested just giving them unique names.

You move groups using the right click menu "Send to Folder".

Is this still in the works...?

It's on the todo list. Not very high on the list I will say.
