Feature request -- Memory Image Manager feedback

[Controls Guy]

I was working with a memory image a little this morning (deleted a few regions, do a refresh with a connected PLC), and I wish there was a progress bar or percent indication so you could see how far along you were in the process and estimate how long it was going to take.

Also, after doing all that, I did a compare with the memory in the PLC, and the cursor kept flipping between the normal arrow cursor and the hourglass, but again, no progress indication and even odder, when (I think) the comparison completed, no message dialog or status in the output window indicating complete match, areas of difference, etc, even comparison complete.   Just returned to the arrow cursor and that was it.

Also, if you do a code compare between the program in memory and the PLC, even though edge bits is unchecked in the dialog, you get them anyway.    Then if you hit the Compare... button in the dialog, get the same compare config dialog back again, edge bit compares still unchecked, don't touch anything and hit OK, then they go away, even though the compare configuration supposedly hasn't changed.    Sorry, I know I've harped on that one before.

We can look at that.

That should be easy to fix.  I remember you talking about that.  The Mnemonic Generator I think has a flag to include the edge/ids or not.

Cool, thanks!

Fixed.

That slipped through the cracks when we added the Project Option concept (the first/only option is to NOT Compare Edge/IIDs).  It does NOT include them as part of the compare, HOWEVER, if there ARE differences, IT WAS SHOWING THEM.  Doh!

Basically, from the Resolve Differences dialog where that Project Option is actually USED, that flag NOW gets passed in to the Compare Programs dialog whether to initially SHOW Edge/IIDs.  You can still make them part of the compare from the Compare Program dialog via the [Compare...] button (it's a checkbox in that tertiary dialog).

Fixed.

Quick work!

Project Option concept

Hate to be late to the party but is that in the released versions?   If so, I can't figure out where to find it.  Help doesn't seem to know either.  Help is no help.
