Hello all,

Thank you for your posts and thank you for your kind help Mudcrab.

Glen, please let me answer your question.

I am really sorry for this GUI issue. Our Development team is aware of it and most likely the fix will be available in the next build of our software.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.

Thanks for your response.

There are a number of issues with the UI that I find detracting, particularly so when considering your excellent reputation as far as the engine is concerned.

I personally don't like web style interfaces particularly for desktop applications and much prefer winforms interfaces as they are generally more intuitive and less restrictive, particularly when it comes to user customization of the UI.

My confidence in your engine has not altered however I am now examining competitor products which definitely provide a much richer UI and user experience.

When can I expect the next release - an approximation to which quarter in 2011 will suffice.

Regards,

Hi Mudcrab,

I hope the next build is about 10 months sooner than that. If not then Acronis have lost a potential client!

Sorry about that. Acronis said build and you said release.

The next update to TI 2011 is currently being worked on. However, GUI changes are often a low priority and may not be implemented until a new version (probably around September next year), if ever. I doubt this particular issue to be fixed in the next build. If it's not, hopefully it will be in the one after that.

Some people seem to really like the new GUI and some people hate it. I have no idea what the next version will have.

Bump. The reverse sort of the Files & Folders navigation tree is frustrating.

For the most part, I like the new UI, but here are my issues with the Files & Folders tab:
1) Sort order of navigation tree is reversed. It should be in ascending order.
2) Default sort of the grid is shown as Descending by Name, but it is actually (and should still be) Ascending by Name.
3) The default column widths should be changed. The Size and Date columns should default to a pre-determined width. The Type column should be slightly wider than it is now. The Name column should fill up the rest of the space.
4) When the main window is resized, the Name column should resize, not the Date column.
5) Resizing a column by clicking and dragging the right side of the column header should only resize that one column and shift the position of other columns accordingly. It should NOT resize any other column(s).
6) Column widths AND sorts should be remembered so that they do not need to be redone each time.
