Small one: Max IP>Last IP like Last IP>Max IP

Post by j_c_hallgren »

Ok, here's the scenario...I have the five TB icons related to screen layout (Tree/IP/Nav/etc)...and use them vs KS on occasion...

When I'm at max IP size, and I want to go to "Last IP" size, I have to do a double step in that the first click of "Last IP/Min IP" gets me a minimum IP and then I can do it again to get back to Last....but when I go from Last (no matter if I'm at Last or Min) to Max, I always get Max, which I see as an inconsistency and a tiny bit of a nuisance in the prior case...

Because if I'm at Max IP and want to go to Min IP, I'd obviously use the Max/Min TB icon to toggle and not switch over to using the other TB icon, right? :wink:

It's something that has been on my mind for a while and now that DP is somewhat under control, a few of these lil tiny irritants maybe can be looked at... Thanks!

Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

Been a month since I wrote this and not any comments by anyone yet.. :cry:

So bumping this now as it continues to bug me on a daily basis...as I wrote, it's a tiny thing but when you're wanting to quickly adjust size of IP to a prior value and without dragging it, this could help significantly, I believe...and in summary:

There are four possible values for the size of IP: Max; Last: Min; none
There are three TB icons to adjust size of IP: Max/Min; Last/Min; Show

"Show" TB always toggles to whatever of the 3 sizes that IP had when it did show, so that's fine as is...
My issue deals only with going from Max to Last...there is presently no one-click (or one KS usage) method to do so, and that's the one combination that could be improved as in:

Min to Max: use Max/Min
Min to Last: use Last/Min

Max to Min: use Max/Min
Max to Last: use Last/Min twice! :P (defaults to Min first in this case which doesn't make sense)

Last to Max: Use Max/Min (as it knows you'd have used Last/Min otherwise, so defaults to Max)
Last to Min: use Last/Min

So Last/Min, if current pos is neither Last nor Min, should default to Last first, right?

Yes, if current is Max, then Last/Min should default to Last, because as now, if you're in Max, you can get to Min by either Max/Min or Last/Min via one-click but you have to use TWO-clicks to get to Last when one-click should be sufficient...sorry to be so petty, but that extra click (or KS) repeated numerous times daily (plus the screen movement in doing so) just becomes a splinter that bugs ya, see? :wink:

That's why I put the mini chart in second post with the various scenarios...cause I realized my first post wasn't maybe as clear as it could have been.

Works just GREAT! Now I can get from Max to Last in just one quick step!
