Igor:
Heya. I'm trying to put all the bugs with the Master
Node stuff into one email.
1. For some reason, a network printer's PropPanel has the
Master Node selection stuff that should go only into the
Network Icon PropPanel.
2. I've two Kaboodle's on my LAN, PC1 (WinNT) and PC2 (Win98).
PC1 turned on first, so it should be the Master Node. When
I start Kaboodle on PC2, I look in the Network Icon on PC1
and it says that PC2 is now the Master. When I look on PC2,
though, it says that PC1 is the Master. When I look at the
network traffic, both PC's are pinging the Active List of
devices every 5 seconds (which only the Master Node should
do). When I open the Network Icon, the value shown in the
dropdown must be set to the current Master Node. This value
must be NID sync'd across the whole network.
3. On PC1, the dropdown in the Network Icon says that PC2 is
the Master Node. When I open the PropPanel on PC2, the
selection box "Make this PC the Master Node" is ready to
be checked. If PC2 is already the Master, then this checkbox
should be replaced with "This PC is currently the Kaboodle
Master Node".
4. Using these checkboxes and the dropdown in the Network icon,
I am unable to change the Master from PC1. If I change it
using the dropdown to PC2, click okay, then reopen the Network
Icon, it still says PC1. If I select one of the checkboxes
and click Okay, the dropdown in the Network Icon does not
change. None of my changes affect the Master Node status.
5. If I move the PC2 icon in the GUI of PC1 to a new position, and
then try to change the Master Node status using Kaboodle on
PC2, the position of PC2 in the GUI reverts to where it was.
Master Node status should not affect the position of devices
in the GUI.
6. To change the Master Node, the user should have to do one
of two things:
* Open the PropPanel for the PC Device, select the
Master Node checkbox, and click Okay. If they open
another tab before clicking Okay, the checkbox
should reset itself. If the click Cancel, no changes
are made.
* Open the Network Icon, select a new device in the
dropdown, and click Okay. If they open another tab
before clicking Okay, the dropdown should reset
itself to the current Master. If they click Cancel,
not changes are made.
Those are the only two ways a Master Node can be changed.
Please ignore any of my requests below which contradict this.
Thanks!
