I hope I am missing something, but I can't find a way to refresh all the visible grids. Basically an F5 for everything that is open. I tried Shift-F5 just in case (and its not in the shortcuts), but it obviously didn't work.

Having multiple views on the same data is a real strength of IQ that Ecco had as well, but I need to be able to edit the data without clicking several refresh buttons.

Thanks,

Automatic refresh will come with the new Ecco-like multi-folder views.

Hi Pierre,

I am not looking for automatic refresh, I am looking for manual refresh of all visible grids. Something I assume that it would be much easier for you to add. When I click F5 or maybe Shift-F5 if you want to keep the old behavior simply iterate through all the visible grids (rather than just the current grid) and refresh them.

Thanks,

I've added a Refresh All Grids function (Shift+F5, Shift+Refresh toolbar button, Grid>>Refresh All grids)

Available in 0.9.25pre-rel28

Thanks!

I updated the doc at http://www.sqlnotes.net/drupal5/index.php?q=node/677 with the new menu entry, but not the screenshot.

Would like to suggest the confirmation dialog really isn't needed though. The user already had a choice of refresh current or refresh all by what they choose in the menu, and its not a destructive action so I don't think the confirmation/cancel is needed. This might seem like a small thing, but now that I have it use "refresh all grids" all the time so the dialog really starts to annoy after the 30th time.

And a minor FYI, the Shift-F5 keyboard shortcut didn't make it in, but that's fine since its easy to add.

Maybe a checkbox : don't show this dialog next time.

I can see that it could be "destructive", if the user didn't want to refresh all grids to preserve their past state for many different reasons.

Usually when new keyboard shortcuts are introduced I had to do a "reset all" in the keyboard shortcuts section of the "customize" dialog. But... I haven't tried this time !

Ok, I was courageous and just tried it :

- "reset all" effectively adds the new shortcut to the bunch. To check that : Tools->Keyboard shortcuts -> show all shortcuts.

Last one is : 1381 Shift+F5 Refresh All Grids

Then you could load back your custom shortcuts. Tools->Keyboard shortcuts -> Load custom shortcuts.

Note that you can save several custom shortcuts config and then load them at will

Ok, I see, since it wasn't a new install I didn't get the new shortcuts. Thanks, good to know going forward,
