Enhancement Idea: "Grouping Profiles - Tree Group under Preferences" and "Moving multiple Profiles at once"
Hi,
I've been using iTerm2 for several months now...and generally pretty happy with it. Good work and thanks. I'm using current, 2.1.4
Some things which I believe would make your product even better, are the following...please consider enhancing / implementing at some future release...
Grouped Profiles - I love that you automatically "group" profiles in the dropdown Profiles menu, just by using a common tag (great idea). What would also be nice...is when you are editing/adding new profiles (under Preferences)...is to actually have a Grouped / Tree'd interface.
For instance,
I deal with many machines (in multi locations)...which may have a specific "function"...Like:
Site A - DEVTEST01, Site A - DEVTEST02...etc. Now, if I add several new machines (Like Site A - DEVTEST 20 and 21)...I like to copy an exisiting profile, modify it...then visually move/group it with the others. Right now...iTerm2 will put the new Copied profile at the bottom of the list. Now I need to pick it up...and kinda "drag" it up...searching for where the rest of the like profiles are. Kinda of pain...
If the interface was more like a "tree"...One which could be expanded/collapsed...easily...would make organizing profiles so much easier...
Also, I've been expanding my profiles each time I go to a group of new machines. I typically will make several at a time. But...right now, I can only move them together...one at a time. Would be nice to multi-"pick" several profiles at once...and move/group them together at once.
Thanks, Lee
