New project - XenAdminQt - a cross-platform GNU/Linux, macOS, Windows native thick client

@benapetr yes, i'm about connections and credentials export\portable mode. Got it.

@benapetr said in New project - XenAdminQt - a cross-platform GNU/Linux, macOS, Windows native thick client:

you can already hide the templates using View menu (just uncheck you want to display them, they will disappear).

What is the criterion for custom templates?

by default, the usual templates are disabled, but I see them. Disabling custom ones disables all templates.

@Tristis-Oris the logic was directly ported over from C# version, so it does the same stuff what it filters there. It just toggles this search scope:

QueryScope* TreeSearch::GetTreeSearchScope()
{
    ObjectTypes types = Search::DefaultObjectTypes();
    types |= ObjectTypes::Pool;

    SettingsManager& settings = SettingsManager::instance();

    if (settings.getDefaultTemplatesVisible())
        types |= ObjectTypes::DefaultTemplate;

    if (settings.getUserTemplatesVisible()) // these are custom
        types |= ObjectTypes::UserTemplate;

    if (settings.getLocalSRsVisible())
        types |= ObjectTypes::LocalSR;

    return new QueryScope(types);
}

I assume it matches all user-defined templates, the defaults you see are "system defined" and part of xcp-ng .rpm packages. It's possible that this logic just wasn't ported correctly, I will look into it.

@Tristis-Oris just FYI I fixed all of those issues you had, also regarding portable stuff - I implemented CLI switch -c <path> where you can specify directory where you want to store config, so you can wrap the app in a .bat or .sh script that would start it to use local storage (like flash drive) for config files, that should achieve portability.

If you expected something more sophisticated let me know

@benapetr Nice, great.
How about to implement a launch of CR backup VMs?

@Tristis-Oris There are many features missing since it's alpha now, but you can open bug tracker request on github if you want to keep track of progress for this particular feature.

Consider making a PR to https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp-ng-org (https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp-ng-org/blob/master/docs/management/management.md) if you want to make your project more visible.

@TeddyAstie good idea, thanks, I will do it once I get close to releasing first non-alpha version, right now it's still too immature for production use (although latest master version is so good and stable I already use it to manage most of my own clusters)

Note we already gave visibility on this project twice, with the last 2 XO blog post release and newsletter

@olivierlambert ok that's great, I didn't even notice, thanks!
