Description Yedidyah Bar David 2019-10-03 08:01:02 UTC

Copying my message to users list [1]:

Hi all,

I'd like to ask/suggest something:

In the previous UI (4.2?), when you entered the VM snapshots page, you
saw per each snapshot some details that you do not see in the current
UI. Specifically, to see the creation date, you have to press General.
So I got used to writing longer descriptions, with the creation date
in them, but that also does not work well, because in the main view
only the start of the description is shown. At least for me
(combination of browser, OS, etc.), there is a lot of white unused
space between the end of the presented-part of the description, and
the "> General" after it. Can we somehow use this space to either add
the creation date, or more/all of the description, or even make this
customizable? And perhaps make this a sortable table (so that you can
sort by description, or if you added Data, you can sort by that, or
memory, or whatever)? I don't mind opening a bug/RFE for this, if more
people agree that it's useful, and unless there are some (unknown to
me) reasons against that (other than the time needed for implementing
this, which I expect is quite minimal for the simplest option of just
showing more of the description).

Thanks and best regards,

This request is not currently committed to 4.4.z, moving it to 4.5

Comment 3 Michal Skrivanek 2021-08-20 11:01:58 UTC

This bug/RFE is more than a year old and it didn't get enough attention so far, and is now flagged as pending close. 
Please review if it is still relevant and provide additional details/justification/patches if you believe it should get more attention for the next oVirt release.

Comment 4 Michal Skrivanek 2021-09-29 11:33:06 UTC

This bug didn't get any attention in a long time, and it's not planned in foreseeable future. oVirt development team has no plans to work on it.
Please feel free to reopen if you have a plan how to contribute this feature/bug fix.
