Suggestion: Graphs per Phase / Phase % Complete #73

Open Jaga-Telesin opened 3 years ago

Jaga-Telesin commented 3 years ago

Had an idea this morning for something that might help users get a little more info on Phase progression for each plot. Might be doable with the amount of information gained from the log file (i.e. we know Phase 1 takes roughly 31% overall progress).

Essentially, break out the "Progress" graph into four graphs, one for each Phase. Or, replace the "Phase X" text with something like "Phase X: xx%" to indicate how far along that particular phase is, along with a bar graph behind it to visually display that progress.

Personally I'm a big fan of graphs or other visual indicators, being a SysAdmin. The more info I can get out of a monitor, the more happy I am using it. Obviously not a critical enhancement, but knowing how far along a phase is can help us determine good stagger times and so on.

As a side-suggestion to help with using more real estate with more columns (if a break-out is preferable), toggle-able columns: basically selectable via right-click on any column title, which would allow people to turn on/off items they didn't necessarily want. Not sure if PS can accommodate this or not, but it is available in a number of default Windows tools.

I really like this idea and will try to implement it in the next update.

I also really like this idea and have it added it to the road map.

Thank you so much for your feedback. And also thanks for helping others in the the other Issue threads, I really am thankful for that.

Most welcome, only happy to try and help. You've got front-runner on the tool-of-choice now. Glad you like the suggestions!

Phase % with progress has been added. Togg-able columns will be worked on in a future update.
