Feature Request: Tape Properties Dialog Box size should be adjustable

Post by stevepogue »

When using the Tape Infrastructure node and selecting the properties view of a tape, a fixed size dialog box is presented.
When using the "File" tab within the properties to view the files currently on the tape, it is difficult to view all the file names due to the fixed box size. If the dialog box size was adjustable, then the file names could be viewed without a left/right scroll

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

Just to be sure: you are asking for this window?

Yes, makes sense to make it resizable :-)

Best regards,

Hi Steve. In the next major version only the root objects to be displayed in this window (Multistorage.lab.intern on a screenshot above, no drop-down folder tree) so there will be no need to resize the window.

Hello,

That is still not the case, nothing have changed.
The "Properties" dialog box size should be resizeable.
There is simply no option to list the contents of a tape and compare to another tape in the GUI, this method which is implemented now (VBR 12.2) is totally useless.
Please give the |)4mn box a resize feature.

Regards,
B

Also, the cmdlet list method is a mess imo, as per this topic:
post289603.html?hilit=tape#p289603

So basically there is no easy way without sql scripting to list the backup files written on a specified tape, which is referred by a barcode.

Hello,
thanks for bringing it up again. We changed that window some years ago according to what lyapkost said and then changed it again... that's how it happened. I forwarded your feedback to the responsible colleagues.

Best regards,
Hannes
PS: please continue the PowerShell topic in the PowerShell forum.
