[CodeReviewer] Re-organising the SCM configurations on the Collaborator client GUUI

Hi,

Don't know if this should be under Administration or just review, but is there a way to easily re-organise/sort the different configurations for the GUI client?



I see they are saved individually under <user>\.smartbear\profiles, each entry named as a <GUID>.options.



thanks

  • Hi, 



    This is Sherif from collaborator support.



    There's no easy way to do that, but there's a work around. The files under <profile> directory are text files. Collaborator GUI Startup reads the first line of each file where contain (creation date and time) then arrange them in the GUI main screen. 



    If you open any of these files, and change the creation date/time (keeping the same format). Then restart the client gui, it should re-arrange the list for you according to the date/time you entered for each file. 



    Thank you,

    Hi Sherif,

    Eventually got round to this again.



    Changing the first line on this doesn't seem to make much of a difference, at least not on my system.



    What I have found is that they are being added to the GUI in the order of the filenames in the profiles folder.

    so based on the <xxxx>.options values.



    I have tested on my system and renamed a couple of these - they still seem to work fine, and also now come up in the sequence I need.



    I guess they are just randomly generated names, not really meaning anything or linked to anything, so safe to rename?



    thanks
