Let me support Hans on this...

In the traditional interface if you double click a device it opens the 'device info' window. From here you can set the device address, the probe, the community string, the timeout, the device comment, and the behaviour, and see the SNMP sysdesc all in one handy ergonomic place, and without having to go into map edit mode.

With new interface, double clicking a device has no effect. You have to go into map edit mode, select the device. Then you have to do Network/Set Info/xxx six different times to do what was so easy to do with the traditional interface. Then you have to go out of map edit mode. Many more steps involved. The traditional interface is more efficient for this very commonly performed action.

Tex,

It is not only the speed but more important the human interface . Example
to change settings of a device I must take more steps.
I have mentioned that already in November

If you want I will send you a more complete report.

I don't know  what the basis is of the decision to fade out  traditional

Server versus traditional

I find both versions indispensable for the following reasons:

I develop a map's  on traditional using my desk and monitoring / and
testing en developing.

Traditional give more speed and the better user interface using traditional
is very important, it really speeds up testing en developing maps.

I am planning to use server is more fore common  use  en monitoring campus
wide on a longer time base. Now I use a MacOS9  9. Imac  4.2.4 for the job.

 I have contacted other users and I am not standing alone in de idea
 that
 the new interface is a step backwards. It works more slowly
 because the
 users have to take more steps to change something.

Please give us detailed feedback describing what you find frustrating/
slow, as well as the hardware, OS version, and Java version that the
client is running on.
