Hi,
I just downloaded this (after the VNC advert ;-}) to see if it's useful for my lan at
home. I probably won't need to use the more sophisticated features for a while.
I tested it on the network at work as that is just a little more sophisticated!
I have not joined the users list yet so apologies if these are well-worn comments.
When I started the application, I was also looking for:
1. some way to "sort"/categorise/filter the displayed items (as for example, at work,
there is a vast number of PCs on the domain that I don't care about but a small set of
printers and Unix systems I DO care about).
2. A text FIND capability to find a system-icon by a specific sub-string in its
identity
3. a way to "page" or "row" down the diagram (e.g using page up/down and up/down arrow)
Icons
1.IMHO The currently selected icon could do with greater distinction e.g. change
inside circle to yellow and/or change circle itself to maroon.
2. I found that 80% of my icons needed two text lines underneath (none needed 3).
This meant that the
"on top" icons became slightly misaligned whereas those "suspended" all looked
in-line. I suggest using 2 lines for all (but maintaining assumed capability to handle
3 or more lines).
3. "highlight on hover" this was clearly designed to handle the over 1 text line case.
IMHO, it would be nice to have hover-display always enabled even when only 1 line
required (or "all identity" already displayed).
The first test I tried was to remove a printer from my NT4 system printers folder and
try refresh in Kaboodle:
Kaboodle failed to refresh it but the change was, as expected, reflected when I
restarted Kaboodle. No real problem there unless using display as a real-time monitor.
I'll play some more next week and figure out how to view the "forum" (saw it earlier
but can't get to your homepage right now).
cheers, Mark
