Hi,

i just "tried" to refill my labs with the new inventory system. I have 14 labs and each lab needs like 10 different items.
With the old system i simply positioned and grouped them by logical groups and than evenly split all needed resources by drag&drop on the top-tabs.

With the new system this is not even possible, since this functionality is now broken.

So here is what i had to-do now:

1) Rename all my labs so they start with a "_xy-lab" so the labs show up on top in the huge tree list at least.
2) Instead of simultaneously split resources between labs, i now had to scroll and drag&drop for each lab. Since the freaking tree-list will already run out of space if i just open 4 labs, since each lab has 7 devisions, while i just need to access the first one.

The whole procedure took me 20 minutes, compared to around 5 minutes before. So thx for not testing the new system with a POS or otherwise this mess would have shown somehow, since there is not even one small advantage over the old system when it comes to a POS.


bye Andy

Honest question, given that I don't manage any POS labs, but what's the view if you shift+double click the labs from the treeview? Can you then drop materials into the resultant popup windows (sorta replicating the old way) or does it not work like that?

U can drag&drop only in a new single window, but u cant drag&drop if the new windows are grouped/stacked by using the top-tab.

In the old system i had groups like Lab-A1, Lab-A2, Lab-A3 and Lab-B1, Lab-B2.... Each of those lab groups where grouped in one window so i had one window for 3 labs each and than simply did drag&drop needed resources to the top-tab's. Also its very important to note that with the old system the window positions and and even the stacked group windows where saved! In the new system this is not the case, so instead of just opening 14 labs once and having the final layout, i now have to somehow open and manage 14 separate windows or use the tree view and scroll like mad.
