Enhancement: Add event names to Event list view #431

Closed bceylon closed 7 years ago

bceylon commented 7 years ago

The version of the app you are reporting: 1.2.35

Renaming events (and archiving them) in ZoneMinder is one way to highlight events which have some interesting content. Currently various details can be seen from the events within Event list/view, but the name is missing and should be added.

It looks like the event name is "New Event" - can you customize on a per event basis? If not, is there a value in showing it?

bceylon commented 7 years ago

In my installation events get name: "Event-XXXX" where X is the event id. You can rename individual events in ZM, e.g. "Car approaching" which is handy if you want to save/archive events. ZmNinja shows with bold the monitor name for each event (e.g. Front door), in my opinion the event name should be in this place instesd and the monitor name also there but with smaller font without bold etc.

I actually think the event name should not replace the monitor name. Unless you rename it, it is not helpful. My thought is when a person browses the list, they will want to see which monitor alarmed and when. Even the event-id is practically not helpful. The only reason it is there is so ZM geeks can map the event ID to the ZM web-console for debugging.

So I'll add the event name somewhere in the list in small text
