Hi Eric,
This thread is an offshoot of this thread:
http://tinyurl.com/8m7bcI think displaying the "Choose Account" dialog used when populating password fields would be a nuisance.
Ok, I think you misunderstood *when* I meant this should happen...
First, the following is predicated on my correct understanding of these terms:
'Folder' = 'BaseURL' (ie, google.com)
'Account' = 'username/password pair' for a certain URL (could be differentiated by sub-domains, but under the same 'Folder'/'BaseURL')
I agree that having a 'Choose Account' dialog would confuse things when the auto-populate function/dialog kicks in
if there is only one 'Account' defined for the current 'BaseURL'. Obviously, if there is more than one 'Account' for that 'BaseURL'/'Folder', PM has no way of knowing
which 'Account' to use (until Eric implements 'mind-reading' functionality), so it would
have to prompt for an 'Account'.
Now, for the subject of this thread:
What I meant that you were replying to, was that when
not using the auto-populate functionality, and you are on any given website, and click on the PM icon (or select it from the Tools menu), PM should check to see if the current BaseURL matches any of the Custom 'BaseURL's'/'Folders'. If it matches one, then it should display that 'BaseURL'/'Folder' tree (already expanded), assuming that you want to work with one of the 'Accounts' under that 'BaseURL'/'Folder' (otherwise, why would you have clicked on the PM icon?).
Hopefully my understanding of these terms is now correct, and you will now understand what I meant qith my suggestion for the Default Account View.
