Description ehucka 2006-10-17 09:08:38 UTC 
profiler 061017

Is is possible to rename auxiliary nodes for many instances (or other nodes)?

Now there is:
<500 instances>
<500 instances>
<500 instances>
...

but better would be:
<   0 -  499 instances>
< 500 -  999 instances>
<1000 - 1499 instances>
...

or something similar.

I've also thought about it, but this would work only for instances sorted by 
instance number. For sorting by other values this cannot be used. Thus the 
decision was made to name the containers just "500 instances" to keep it 
consistent in each view/sorting.

Closing for now, will reopen if usability study discovers that it's a problem.
Comment 3 ehucka 2006-10-17 10:56:51 UTC 
maybe, the numbers - 0 - 499 can be order of instances not names - so under the
'0 - 499' node user will see always the first 500 instances in each sorting.
Comment 4 Jiri Sedlacek 2006-10-17 10:59:23 UTC 
The question is if users would know what we mean by the number - that it's just 
an index in current view, not instance number. BTW it doesn't make sense to 
start with 0 if not an array item.
