FileTransfer Dialog

I love the new layout and look and feel, you guys really nailed it!

There is one detail that I see which adversely affects me that would be great if worked like RSO, however.

Is there a technical reason why the File Transfer window is now a modal dialog instead of a dockable window?

This change from the style in RSO makes it much less useful for me for development purposes. For RAB development with RSO, I can simply toggle back and forth from file management tab for deployment to terminal tab for console output.

With the new setup, I have to open file transfer dialog every time, resize the window, deploy my files, close the window, and if I want to see some other aspect of Online functionality, I have to close the dialog, do my thing, and then repeat the process again.

This may seem like a small annoyance, but I may deploy and restart the FlexPendant 50 times or more in a day, so it is adds up to a lot of extra clicks.

  • Hi Russell,

    I was wondering the same thing myself, and it seems it was just a mistake in the RSO integration image
    Will be fixed in 5.11!
