Feature request - selecting GUI group

Core Development Feature Requests
1

When you put a GUI node and have to select which group it is in:
It is not easy to enter the group name. Rather you have to scroll through a list.

It would be nicer if you could SEARCH for the name of he group into which you want to put the node.

(I would include a picture but I don't have a way to take a screen shot with menus active.)

How many groups have you got?

3

quite a few.

It is painful going through the list.

This is an example.

Just tell me how many. You can see them all in the config nodes side panel.

6

Um where is the number?

All I see is a list.

It is big/long and I too don't really want to have to put a SPECIFIC number on them.

7

How about:

more than 50

?

(Probably more than 200 actually)

Wow! More than 200 groups. I think my most complex dashboard has about 6.

I can't download your video, it says I need to install an extension to Chrome to download it.

Actually this is part of the dashboard nodes - and as such is no longer under active development - so unless someone wants to jump in and enhance with a pull request, it is unlikely to happen.

I too have 140 groups ! all groups are made since dashboard widgets keep moving if i change the screen from which i am viewing, (i have one small screen on desk and a large TV screen where i display. there may be a better way, but i have invested so much time in developing this, i am liking it a lot not to change anything. it would really be nice if i could 'search' as you said, currently i quickly type [ followed by first letter of group to go there fast.

just curious, if i understood the statement correctly, do you mean you cannot take screenshot like this ?

Hi Colin.

Sorry.
I recorded the clip with a program and it plays in VLC.
The extension was .movie (yeah: cringe) and I changed it to .mp4.

I haven't read any of the other replies yet.
