Well, I plan to do some more work on usability besides sorting, so I suspect I might need someone to discuss some other topic in the future too. But to my mind sorting should be implemented everywhere, including eg. pools and brestore (these are two places I use quite frequently and miss the ability to sort). As I undestand, it's disabled for pools, because pools tab uses QTreeWidget, not QTableWidget and sorting correctly bytes/kbytes/Mbytes is not so trivial. There's custom sorting code implemented also for QTableWidget, so what has to be done, is expanding this custom code to QTreeWidget too. -- Silver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list Bacula-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
