Cleanup Image/Clone/Backup Locations

GarryB

Can a way be added to remove one time use locations that display in the drop down when doing new Images, Clones and other areas.

+1.

Right-click a drop-down row and Remove should be easy, right? Allowing CTRL-Click to allow for removing multiple at once could be a bonus.

Thanks for the feedback. Our current plan is to remove the concept of "adding" backup locations and image locations. There would still be a dropdown but it'd just contain "recently used" locations (probably in order of when they were last used). Would you be comfortable with that solution? If not, could you tell me a bit more about the problem the current system, or the proposed system would cause for you?

Yes, that would be great in my opinion. I just know that I used some weird locations during my POC and now they clutter the drop downs. Using the most recent would leave the good stuff at the top unless you go through a round of testing stuff with those weird locations again. Not sure how often they would roll off. Plus now I have my automation in place, so do not use the UI as much, but my colleagues who do not have as much hands on with the tool would get confused.

These must be stored as cookie values, right (or perhaps table row values)? Either way it should be trivial allow a right-click to remove a value that is no longer desired to be in the list. That would also allow us to keep one-offs from forcing more used/useful values off of the list.
