Oh ya I forgot to mention that.. I think it was Brian who had pointed that a
few weeks after I started using it to show it still can be done on the new
version too..
I do not seriously think there is a single thing that was doable in the old
tool that is not doable now..

** Susan,
I feel you pain in most of your issues. I might be able to help you out on one.
****** I cannot express how much I miss the ability to grab a group of
fields for movement purposes via the mouse (click and drag). ****
You can still do this.
CTRL + Click will select multiple fields one at a time.
SHIFT + Click and drag will work. The key for this is to make sure that you
see the crosshair mouse icon. If that is up you can click and drag. It will
add the fields selected to the selection you already have.
HTH,

If you right click on the filter or active link after opening it,and click
Expand All Panels, it expands everything on that one click.. I agree this
should have been a preference if you wanted to do it everytime you opened an
object..
About the size.. that’s why I said it’s the minimum large size.. if you can
get a bigger resolution absolutely go for that..

After reading Joe's comments I should note I have no performance issues.
Windows 7 64 bit 2gb memory
I'm at 1920 x 1200 but had to increase font to 115%. Even with glasses that
is a bit of a stretch in the comfortable reading zone.
I also need to add that when working in filters or active links I dislike the
fact I constantly have to expand things to see the qualification and action
information.

I have been using DevStudio v7.5 for 9 months now so I should be over the
learning and adjustment curve.
I find everything takes longer to do.
I have no issue with reliability.
Usability is subjective and I personally find it awkward. I'm constantly
resizing portions. Even though I have a 24" monitor it really needed to be 32"
(or maybe 55").
It is aggravating the way the Properties work. Always needing to expand
everything. Of course Change History is always expanded and I use that the
least. Database, Display and Permissions should always be expanded. But of
course then you'd have to constantly scroll.
I do like the fields area and way you can easily sort by name or ID.
I don't like the way the form/workflow lists take up basically the same
real estate you're going to use if you open a form. Again constantly
adjusting the portions.
I cannot express how much I miss the ability to grab a group of fields for
movement purposes via the mouse (click and drag).
I have mixed feeling about the ability to line up fields which I'm a bit
anal about, its different and sometimes its just hard.
On page fields why can't the first tab always show instead of having to do
the left arrow click. Of course if you expand it full size not a problem. But
then I lose the ability to easily use the properties.
Sometimes I get wild and click on an icon inadvertently and close a
portion, like where my form was displayed and it will take me 10 min trying to
find it again.
Why are the icons so small?
Importing and Exporting takes more steps now and it accomplishes the same
thing as before.
I do like the filter ability on the Forms/Workflow list portions.
I do like the Relationships feature.
I'm sure I've missed some things, these are just the ones I immediately
thought of. No, I'm not adverse to change but when I make changes I've
consulted my customers and make a big effort to make it as easy as possible
for them to adjust.
How can I choose one thing? Not possible. As Remedy developers we just
have to be adaptable!
We are basically a custom shop so I do customizations every week to keep
up with our constantly growing business and processes.
So I hope you all are as pleased as I am.

Hello there all,
We would like to have your input on a Question.
How happy are you with DevStudio 7.5-7.6 to do customizations?
Do you miss the Admintool?
Are you satisfied with the DevStudio functionality, usability and
reliability.
If there was one thing you would change about DevStudio, what would it be?
Thank you
Carin
