Sorry - I hate to grinch, but this is nothing but grinch. 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.
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.' 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. 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. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Janice Losgar Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 12:48 PM To: 'InterMapper Discussion' Subject: [IM-Talk] InterMapper 4.5 alpha-test version Folks: Our first public alpha-test version of InterMapper 4.5 is available.
