I'd like to suggest an extension to the Installed Software Manager to allow it to manage software on multiple selected computers at once.

Eg. At the moment, to do an audit of installed software on each PC, you need to do each one-by-one. It'd be great to be able to select an entire subnet and run an audit on them (and be able to uninstall blue-dotted ones). Would require a "computer name" column to be added in the grid, as well as a redesign of the 'enter computer name' toolbar to support multiple computers, like a lot of the other functions in vnc manager.

Maybe eventually, to make it easier to manage a grid with multiple computers and multiple bits of software, it can be extended to allow grouping by columns, as well as sorting by columns. That way, for example, you could group by the computer name, and collapse the list as well if you wanted.

Hi,
I think we will change the Installed Software Manager to have the same GUI as the Service Manager. Most probably this change should make it to the next 5.0.5.0 build.

Can you implement this functionality for the remote task manager too? It will make it much easier to see what is running without opening a VNC window for each machine.

Works great, but I have one other niggle about it now.

As soon as any dialog box opens up, the rest of the program is locked and I can't carry on doing other stuff until the dialog is finished doing whatever it's doing.

The way that the old Installed Software Manager screen loaded information was much better because it let you do other things in VNC Manager while the list loaded (which can take a few minutes depending on how fast your link is, and how much stuff is installed).

So, any chance of eventually converting all those screens with 'loading' dialog boxes to be more streamlined?

Yes this will be done eventually. Since most of the management tools use a common GUI engine, when the change is done this will be done for all of the management tools at once.

Yep, most probably the Task Manager will be updated also.
