Dear Devolutions people,
A while ago I asked for a feature with which you could add one entry to multiple folders so that you only needed to edit one and all duplicates would also be modified.
Well, I was happy that this is now a feature in RDM 8.0.3.0, but it has a nasty bug:
When creating an entry, you can create a shortcut with the right mouse click or you can add a semicolon ";" after the path to add it to another path as well. Brilliant!
But I found out that entries aren't sorted alphabetically anymore, so I grabbed those entries and dragged them above another item within that same folder.
However, RDM seems to think that I am moving the entry to another folder and it sets the path to that new folder (which is still the same folder), removing the other path after the semi-colon, so the shortcut in the other folder is erased and I only have one entry left :-(
So there are 2 bugs to be fixed:
- Fix the alphabetical sort method
- While moving the entries around (even if it's to another folder) RDM should split the path at the semi-colon, only change the current source folder path (from which you are pulling the entry away) to the new folder path and then merge the paths again with a semicolon
Please, can you fix this bug? I spent an hour deleting duplicate entries and then adding shortcuts for the remaining entries, then I decided to sort them manually and after I sorted half of them manually I saw that most of the shortcuts were gone, so I needed to add them again. I wasn't very happy about that ;-)
I reported the bug to my colleagues, so that they wouldn't try to sort or move these entries around, but it's still a bit tricky, so I would really, really appreciate it if it could be fixed in the next release.
Kind regards,
Remco van Wingerden
