Easier Disconnecting Network Drives
Posted: 2014-06-12, 13:18 UTC
The dialogue box to disconnect network drives offers easy way to disconnect shared drives, but it has been easier in earlier versions and I still see improvement needs in the UI.
Background: I use all 26 letters of the western alphabet and need to regularly disconnect when done with one task and I would like to use TC, but would currently be forced to use a batch script that would kill me only the "usual suspects".
1) It used to be the case, that I could quickly reach for the drive to be disconnected by typing its letter. This seems to be a removed feature or regression. Please re-add.
2) Although the information of the connection is useful, I think the display could be compressed so that you can quickly identify the connections without the need to scroll so much, e.g. by a thinner list format
3) The window is not resizeable. It should be
4) The default size should try to accommodate the amount of drives. Taking 2) into account, 26 connections could easily fit in a medium sized window, as they are one liners with a smaller thumbnail, perhaps
5) It is good to be able to keep Control pressed to select plenty of drives to disconnect. With 2) implemented, perhaps this is to be kept, but we could also have check-boxes or "toggle-select" (once click select, next click unselect) whoch I actually like
What do you think?
Thanks
