Re: Reason display in Details window (was: [IM-Talk] InterMapper 4.5 alpha-test version)

Hi, Frank, let me make sure I understand you right, So, it's more important to see the Probe Type, SysName, SysLocation, SysContact and Round-trip time than it is to see the reason why IM reports an error state on the device? One of my points is, that IM already put the other dynamic info

[IM-Talk] ER: Default sort of Interfaces Window.

2006-08-30 Thread Jakob Peterhänsel
Hi Dartware: It would be Very nice if it was possible to make the Interfaces Window have a default sort, that the user can control. Either via a preference (in the client?) or simply that the client (IMRA) simply remembers what was last used. I find it very annoying that the list is sorted

One additional note: The default behavior of the Status window actually seems to be to HIDE the Reason below the visible edge of the window. It's so consistent that it seems like it might even be on purpose. On Aug 29, 2006, at 10:19 PM, Matt Carroll wrote: Ideally, form follows

I like that as an additional option (and Growl is way cool) if there's a way to implement that functionality cross-platform. IM runs on ~10 more platforms than Growl. :-/ In the Windows version (any others?), there is a somewhat similar option in Console for Windows System Tray pop-up

Ok, seems this behavior may be limited to one probe: Host Resources (i use this probe a lot, so I see it a lot) Also, the window obscures the last few lines of information whether there's currently a Reason or not. Will test some more to see if there are similar issues with other
