Nice feature wanted

Postby Januson » 19 Jan 2008

It could be very nice that the name of the workspace could be dynamically linked with the instrument name. My Workspaces are named something like Klinger1, Klinger2 etc. and Screen1, Screen2 where Klinger1 is linked together with Screen2... But the naming is very confusing and often I can't remember exactly what instrument there is at which Workspace.

Could be nice just to link it dynamically with instrument name or either keep it static... flexibility is the keyword :)

But I'm a very happy user besides that 8) Thank you for a nice product, I've earned a lot of money with this tool here :wink:

Hi Januson,

The problem with linking the workspace name with the instrument name is that you might have multiple charts for different instruments within the workspace which would create problems trying to choose the instrument to base the name on.

What you could do is just to name worskpaces using the relevant instrument names.

Also, in future MC versions, it will be possible to change a workspace name by right-clicking on this workspace's tab.

Regards.

Not necessarily, you should just add right click menu to the tab and through that be able to select the linking color (just as you normally link charts together)

Hi Janusen,

I am not sure how you would like to have this feature implemented. Could you please elaborate on your idea?

Thank you.

Hello Marina

Glad you asked...
I've a couple of suggestions. The first one is before mentioned linked via color.
Take a look a attachment linkedtab, linkedtab1 and linkedtab2. This could possibly lead into some tabs with the same friendly names (the underlying saved names should be left unchanged)

The best solution imho, would be to create a friendly naming pattern i.e.

{symbol} {resolution} {data source} [static text]

This way it could be customized 100% by the user.. Take a look at the attachments:
tabpattern ->> where user creates the pattern
tabpattern1 ->> in runtime :)

Okay... This is just some early thoughts.. I hope you see the picture :)

Thank you for listening.

Is there a way to change the order/sequence of the workspace tabs at the bottom of the main window?

Unfortunately it is not possible yet, but we will definitely do it in the future.
