Thanks for the suggestions. However in general I don't want to add support to virt-manager that facilitates having large amounts of connections, since that's not our intended use case and most people won't need those features. However there's already a bug tracking connection row rename which is one of your options, and should allow users to set a sort order if that's what they really want, so duping to that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 784071 *** |
Description of problem: Virt-manager UI sorts defined connections by name of the connection, which is not configurable to my knowledge. I'd like to suggest enhancement[s]: * keep localhost connection always first (by default) * allow user to set user defined order of connections * by dragging (recommended) * by editable connection a user/nick name (less usable) - here user can prefix connection to set the user order Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.9.5-1.fc17.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. have multiple connections in virt-manager 2. localhost connection may be harder to find Actual results: Virt-manager sorts connections alphabetically (not configurable) Expected results: Virt-manager should support more flexible sorting Additional info:
