DQMH Consortium Toolkits Feature Requests
Improvement 1
It would be useful to be able to remove multiple events of the same module in one operation. Currently only one event can be removed at a time.
Motivation: Just now I found myself having to remove four request events from a DQMH module. This involved launching the "Remove DQMH Event" window four times. This was slightly tedious due to:
- Having to navigate the relatively deeply nested menu four times (Tools > DQMH Consortium > DQMH > Event > Remove DQMH Event...).
- Having to wait for the dialogue to load four times. I'm working with a large codebase. This is the single slowest step for me at the moment. Using the Stopwatch functionality of the Windows Clock app I timed this load time at around 9 seconds. I took a single measurement. I have a feeling that the dialogue took longer than 9 seconds to load in the past (perhaps as much as 15 or 20 seconds).
Idea expansion:
- It might be useful to be able to delete multiple events that belong to multiple modules in one operation. This would be the most general form of the Remove operation. This is probably not a common use case, but people would find it useful every now and then.
Improvement 2
Currently the files associated with the event (the request VI, the CTL argument) are permanently deleted. It would be useful if there was a global setting that would make the deleted files go to the Recycle Bin (instead of being permanently deleted).
The excellent Delete File From Project by BasvE tool (https://www.vipm.io/package/basve_lib_lvdeletefile/) implements this functionality (global setting to dictate whether files are permanently deleted or sent to Recycle Bin).
