1) Several of the InterMapper Remote users here at RIT have asked why they are prompted to "Save" when they have not made any changes. I amalso curious about this, but assumed it had something to do with status changes of devices perhaps. Also some of the users being asked to save,do not even have edit priv's for the maps.I would think that it should only prompt for saving when edit changes are made, but for all other items (resizing maps, map position, ackmessage, or device status changes), you should not need to respond to asave. These should always be saved? Or have a user preference for prompting or always saving.
Think I have done so before, but I would like to second this.Split the 'runtime' changes to the map from the layout/setup settings, and auto-save runtime changes.
On a related note:In ReadOnly mode, it possible to click on the 'set linkspeed' link in a probe status window. This, in my opinion, wrongly brings up the Set Linkspeed dialog, even though you're NOT allowed to change anything before setting the complete map in Edit mode!
I think it would be better to do this: User clicks Set Linkspeed 'link'- If current user is allwed to Edit the map, ask the user if the map should be set in Edit mode.
- - If YES -> Enable Editmode, and display dialog.
- - If NO -> Dismiss request silently...
