Fixing Sensor Duplication Order

[COSTAJUNIOR]

Would it be possible to add an update for the duplicate option? Currently, when we duplicate the sensors, they are not organized in the correct order. Is there a way to fix this issue in a future update?

I second that. I would like to have this change/fix too.

I also agree that when we duplicate, the duplicated sensors/text should be organized in the correct order, rather than appearing alternately.

I would love to have this change/fix too.

Actually, the order is fine, since all items are duplicated in the same order as the original items, appearing as a similar new item below each one of them.

That makes sense!

If possible, I’d like to suggest a potential feature that could help with two things. Would it be feasible to allow for the grouping of sensors and the ability to duplicate these groups?

Here’s how this could benefit the user experience:

• Grouping sensors would help keep the sensor panel manager clean and organized, as groups could be expanded or collapsed as needed
• Duplicating a group would create a new group placed below the original, with the new group containing the same set of sensors as the original

Would it be possible to consider adding this as a new feature?

Thank you!

I understand, but if you look at the GPU Cooler, RPM Label, and GPU Cooler sensors, you will see that they are in order. However, after being duplicated, they appear in a random order, making it impossible to move them correctly.

The duplication order should remain the same. After being duplicated, they should follow this sequence:

GPU Cooler, RPM Label, GPU Cooler, GPU Cooler Sensor.

The way they are now, they end up out of order.

you can group sensor by highlight the top sensor, go to the bottom one of the group, hit shift, left click that highlights the whole group.  Now if one could duplicate the selection as a whole that would be great.

[Surjeet]

No no, I did not mean selection. I meant if we can group the sensors.

For example (this view is from AIDA only):

Here in above picture, all the branches are grouped and when we expand, it should show sensors inside something like this:

This is just an example wherein the sensor panel manager should look like:

Collapsed view:

> ====== CPU TEMPERATURE ======= 

> =======GPU TEMPERATURE =======

> =======FANS=======

 

When we expand any of them:

^====== CPU TEMPERATURE ======= 

CPU Sensor 1

CPU Sensor 2

and so on

>=======GPU TEMPERATURE =======

> =======FANS=======

I hope this is clear now. I apologies for the earlier confusion (if any)!

think that would mean a complete restructurer of how the sensor panel manager would be configured with headers and subheaders and make it backward compatible so old panels would work too. possible? who knows, sounds good? you bet!!!

Watch the video below on how I usually duplicate the sensors. Usually I will use hot keys to move down the sensors, much easier. Also, you need to create a 'static label', hide them and duplicate maybe 5 or 6 of them at the last line if not the last sensor item that you want to duplicate will not appear.

There is a small risk of using this method. You might highlight the wrong sensor.

Please watch the video a few times if you don't understand.

Still, I hope when a group of sensors were duplicated, they can stay together instead of separated, just like Excel Spreadsheet. I hope it can be done.

Thank you. I also use the same approach; however, error occurs while selecting the incorrect sensor. If grouping thing can be achieved be Devs, it would be a game changer again for the sensor panel manager.

I agree, maybe we are requesting the Luxury

We've tested it, but for us in every case it worked in order, so each selected item had the new, duplicated counterpart appear just below the item.  Hence the order of duplicated items matched the originally selected set of items.

As you guys figured it out, grouping would require completely revamping the SensorPanel Manager.  It would require dropping the current listview and replace it with a treeview.  It's a major shift and right now we sadly have no resources to work on it.  Sounds like a great concept though, so let's hope we can get back to the topic sometime in the future.

Thanks for that! I do it the same way, but as shown in your video, the sequence doesn't stay in the correct order. We need to adjust them manually by moving them down. Moreover, this process is tedious and unnecessarily time-consuming.

It does stay in the correct order.  Each selected item is duplicated by duplicating them individually.  For each item a new item appears below that item, inserted in the list of items individually.  Maybe you're looking for a different logic of duplication?  Maybe you're looking for duplication in a way that a block of selected items are duplicated as a block?  So in the case of the video above, you'd want the 4 duplicated items to appear below the original 4 items (below selected item #4) as a 4-item block of items?

Yes, exactly! I would like the 4 duplicated items to appear below the 4 original items as a block, instead of being inserted individually below each selected item.

I'm unsure if the way I explain will be clear enough to understand.

Yes, I want the 4 duplicated items to appear directly below the selected item #4 together, not separated. In this way, I don't have to move down the items one by one as shown in the video. Very tedious. Can it be done?

Yes, I agree. If this can be done atleast, it will also be of great use.

Correct, I have wanted this for a year.

for what it is worth. I second that!
