#1 Planned features for Aktiv 2.0

[Jeff Hubbard]

Aktiv 1.0.0 should have a final release on or around Monday May 3, 2010. Any 1.x release will be bug-fixes only. Here is the current planned feature list for Aktiv 2.0:

better threading of GUI functions for more responsiveness, fewer temporary lockups (a lot of these were rolled back because Windows forms threading creates instability)

tabbed mainpage

Search AD from a mainpage tab

support more types of AD objects (computers, etc..)

implement user enable/disable

Copy: Create a GUI for robocopy, piping output to a log file

Cache folders that take longer than an arbitrary time-period to load

Easy scripted reporting in a format similar to: ntname<tab>LDAPProperty<tab>LDAPProperty<tab>...

Easy scripted automation

User defined Macro Actions

Serialized DirectoryEntry properties, to pass to other objects for scripting or otherwise(I will include a library of these with the release).

Allow enable/disable user

Re-arrange tabs by dragging

Consolidate as many popup windows as possible to their parent page (space permitting).

Some methods I've written will be consolidated from forms for global use as static methods

More context menus for dataGridViews(especially for the AD search results).

This list is subject to change, and likely doesn't represent every feature that will be implemented. I have not currently set a target release date for 2.0, nor have a planned a start-date for it's development.
