2 possible bugs and several suggestions

Hello,

Possible Bug 1:
In "Work Time" section of "Global Parameters", even if you change "Daily Work Hours", "number of hours per day" does not change and unfortunately its field is disabled. For instance, our company's work hours was 8,5 hours in a day, now it has been increased to 9 hours, but i cannot reflect this situation into Projeqtor.

Possible Bug 2:
When "Pools of Resources" are used in activities, and when in their "Assigment Properties" "unique resource" is selected, activity costs are not calculated in no way.

Suggestion 1:
There is no seperate assigments section of a project, other than activity properties window. Therefore it is inpossible to export project assigments into a csv file. For that reason, resource fluctiations cannot dynamically be reflected into the program. The only choice is by editing resources by one by inside the program, but it is extremely slow and painful. If a seperated assigments window is generated for a project, many things get easier.

Suggestion 2:
There is no seperate section which display predecessors/successors of a project, so, when project activities grow in number, it is also painful to produce predecessor/successor links. And, for this reason, it is also impossible to export predecessors/successors of a project into a csv file, in that case, the links can easily be constructed in Excel for instance, by depending activity id's.

Suggestion 3:
In Projeqtor, there is a search tool that is used for several purposes, linking, connecting activities, other objects etc. However again, when project activity number grows, this search tool sucks. Because, when activated, it first tries to list activities, and you wait... But, you want to link to a milestone for example. Intead of obtaining complete activity list from the server, it might be better to send query to the server first, then display the query result. This search tool, at the beginning, should do nothing. :-) By behaving like this, the user will have a possibility to choose what kind of search he/she is going to make. I think this way will produce quicker results.

Thank you all, for your efforts,
Best Regards,

For instance, our company's work hours was 8,5 hours in a day, now it has been increased to 9 hours, but i cannot reflect this situation into Projeqtor.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.
As soon as some real work is entered, ratio between days and hours (hours per day) cannot be changed.
Technically, it is because ProjeQtOr always store days.
So if a resource enters 8.5 hours, we store 1 day (with ratio of 8.5 hours per day).
If you change ratio to 9 hours per day, same resouce retourning to timesheet would see 9h where he entered 8.5h.
Only solution is to change capacity of resource that is now 1.059 (9/8/5).

Possible Bug 2:
When "Pools of Resources" are used in activities, and when in their "Assigment Properties" "unique resource" is selected, activity costs are not calculated in no way.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.
When you plan from pools, cost is the cost for the pool (possibly average cost for resources), as you don't know which resource will treat the assignment.
Even when you use unique resource, the unique resource may change during the project.
So to get the cost of the resource, you have to transform assignment to the pool to assignment ot the resource.

Suggestion 1:
There is no seperate assigments section of a project, other than activity properties window. Therefore it is inpossible to export project assigments into a csv file. For that reason, resource fluctiations cannot dynamically be reflected into the program. The only choice is by editing resources by one by inside the program, but it is extremely slow and painful. If a seperated assigments window is generated for a project, many things get easier.

This good be a good option, the have dedicated "Assignement" screen. This would require accurate filters to find the correct list you need.
But I cannot really identify cases when you need to massivelyu change assignments.
Sure we'll not develop this feature unless it is sponsored.

I really don't thing a CSV file will give better visibility.
Once again, a dedicated screen to list dependencies could be an option but we'll not develop this feature unless it is sponsored.

At least the search tool exists ;)

If you wait long, possibly your server is over loaded. Maybe a technical analyses to improve its performance may help. Also, user project selector filter will help limit number of activities so that lsit is not so long to display.

Intead of obtaining complete activity list from the server, it might be better to send query to the server first, then display the query result.

I don't understand that point. Of course query is se,nd to the server the result is displayed...

This search tool, at the beginning, should do nothing.

This could be an option (keep list empty until selection of target list). But ProjeQTOr tries to ease use by selecting target that seem to be the most frequently use (the most efficient).
