This is necessary, as fetching information for many items cannot be done instantly. It's either that or a big delay, which customers like even less.

Using pre-defined settings should be the default, I'll see that I fix that.

1) Have the column headings be sort buttons -- very useful.
2) Add a multi-line select feature for editing/deleting multiple items.
Again, very useful if you need to regroup items, or add common comments or bids, etc. Something like: Ctrl-click to select multiple items individually, Ctrl-shift to select a range.
3) Perhaps have color-coding for the groups. I don't use groups myself, but I do a lot of GUI design.


I am quite limited with what I can implement by the choice of the tool I use to make GDM. It allowed me quick development at the expense of more refinement in choices I can make.

Great tool, great website! :-)
Just a couple of comments about the Desktop Manager.

After loading a CSV file, all the newly added items showed up as "ended" with no description. It took a Refresh to clear this up.

Thanks! :D
