Feature Request. Copy and paste the grid + row count.

[Anonymous]

I would love to copy and paste the grid. In the heat of a MW, it would be really handy if I can select a column of servers, copy the host list, then past into into a chat window for someone else to jump on addressing. I know they can be exported into a CSV format, but when minutes count and I need to quickly assign servers for people to work on, the export and import into Excel is clumsily.

Also, is there a way to display a row count, Excel style? When I have 200+ servers, I would like to sort them, the see that I still have 25 that are patching. BatchPatch will do the sort, but the row count dos not update.

Thanks

You actually can copy the grid to paste somewhere else. Highlight the desired rows and use ctrl-C to copy. Then ctrl-V to paste wherever. The only caveat here is that if you were trying to just copy a single column you would have to first hide all of the other columns, otherwise you will copy and paste all of the visible columns. As a temp workaround though you could keep Excel open and just paste into Excel and then quickly highlight just the hosts column from there to copy into your chat window.

Also, with regard to exporting… you can export just the host columns to txt file by using ‘File > Export grid > Export current grid host column to .txt file’

I don’t know if either of those options gives you what you are looking for. We’ll see about what we can do in a future version to help with this.

With regard to Excel style row count, this is not possible at the moment. However, we have something coming in the next release which I think will give you what you need here. What it does is when you highlight X number of rows, it shows you at any given time the number of rows that you have highlighted.

I didn’t try the ctrl-c. Just assumed it didn’t work since I did not see a copy in the right click. That will do the job.

Showing the highlighted rows will work great.

Thanks
