NetworkVariablePopup: group items into "My Computer" and "My Network Places"

Status: New

Using NetworkVariablePopup( ) I noticed that the localhost is listed twice (one as "localhost" and one with its name), and this generates some confusion.

Looking at the Distributed System Manager Window and DS_SelectURL( ) popup, for example, I understood the reason: in all these windows there are

  • the local PC (localhost)
  • all the network PCs (and of course, localhost is one of them)

The fact is that in DSM Windows they're grouped into "My Systems" and "Network Items" (see DSM2009.jpg) and in DS_SelectURL( ) popup they're grouped into "My Computer" and "My Network Places".

In NetworkVariablePopup( ) the PCs are not grouped (see NetVarPopup.jpg).

 

I suggest that also in the "Browse Network Variables" window the PCs should be grouped into "My Computer" and "My Network Places" or "My Systems" and "Network Items" (see suggested.jpg) because this little modification highly improves the usability.
