FTP favorites sorting

Post by stoffel »

Hi,

the alphabetic sorting of the ftp-site-explorer will not work for some time and I don't know why. You?

p.s. It will be a nice feature to have the possibility to group ftp-sites to folders.

I have discovered that the newly added FTP sites are added at the end of the list but they will be sorted after the editor is restarted. I actually kind of like it this way (maybe I'm just too used to this behavior, kind of like what XP does with newly created folders) but I can add this to user suggestions list.

Yes, this behaviour (newly added FTP sites are added at the end of the list and will be sorted after the editor is restarted) is ok. But this didn't work in my webuilder for some time past.

Thanks for clarify that this isn't available yet. Would be a good one to get added though.
When in doubt, use Brute Force Image

Hi,

take a look at the screenshot. You will see a lot af ftp-favorites sorted correctly, but the last will not sort alphabetically but only in added order.

How can I fix it! It's a really problem for me...

Normally Windows API returns this list already sorted but I guess it maybe gives up when there are too many items. I added extra sorting after obtaining the list for upcoming version.

Try the new beta from http://webuilderapp.com and let me know if it's sorting properly.

Hi, thanks. I try to try the webuiler 2014 beta. It works, but the new version does not use the settings of my webuilder 11. How can I import the settings to webuilder 2014?

The sorting of the ftp-favorites will work in 2014, after copy the settings to the 2014-settings.
