Better to grinch now, than grinch later. :)
I must say that I am not a fan of the change in the manner which is
used to
display charts. I much preferred the drop down menus which did not
have the
affect of removing the map display the way new system does move the
map off
the screen in order to select a graph. This seems to me to be a step
backwards.
The drop down menu is still available in the Charts submenu of the
Window menu.
Autosave is nice but it needs to be selectable. If I am working on
a map and
make a mistake, I do not want my work autosaved. I would prefer
that this
feature could be turned off whenever I am in Edit mode. Backup and
restore
shouldn't be needed until I decide, 'yep, I'm done.'
When you enter Edit mode, InterMapper transparently backs up your
current map. If you later decide that you don't want to save your
editing changes, you can choose "Revert" from the Edit menu.
InterMapper will restore the state of the map as it was before you
entered Edit mode.
An alternative is to periodically prompt you to save changes - if you
click No, InterMapper would implicitly revert. This would have to be
implemented as a server preference.
The new short term polling needs to have separate notifier rules.
They are
messing up normal notification protocols.
At this time, the short term notifiers are buggy, even when
monitoring items
connected by a single gigabit switch report massive round trip
delays on
occasion. This is more likely a problem with IM rather than
anything else.
We will investigate this issue some more. Short term packet loss is
not supposed to give false positives.
I also dislike the loss of the map to look at the warning, alarm
and other
buttons on the right side. If they popped up a separate Window,
great, but
once again, the map needs to remain visible.
Does anybody else have any comments on the behavior of the warning,
alarm, and other map header buttons in 4.5?
Thanks,
