copy device

• When similar devices need to be entered, this copy comes in handy, just don't forget to change the serial number...
  use datacontext:
• store the database settings in a way that it is possible to switch different databases, e.g. local and network-server.

Cable object has copy method
Cable form has copy button
Allmost all data gets copied (except id and meta)

Development planned to use Git from now on.
So probably there will be less updates in files.

0.8.7
FDevice: fix order at location column click (with @ instead of fieldname)
FMain: add location id of devices

0.8.6
FDevice: add location id in list view
add menu Text Out, add item Ip Addresses, create file ~/IpAdresses.txt from db

In general, more screens get the possibility to sort on columns, and more in detail:
0.8.5: Report ip addresses: date format to yyyy-mm-dd and adjusted first column width and title, FLocation sort on columns.
0.8.4: FIpAddress category button with - added to select all without category
0.8.3: FDaemon device category and or location selection fixed, device title added
0.8.2: FDaemon gets space in hsplit
0.8.1: FDaemon add device name to id column
0.8.0: FService sort on column header, FDeamon order and clarify * / 0 buttons

0.7.9: Report with short ip address, improved scale forms with text (changes, license..), Device picture cleared on "new".
0.7.8: IpAddress: add short ip address 192.168.1.1 (without prefix-zero192.168.001.001 )
0.7.7: remove un-used variables, correction in Deamons
0.7.6: Connect: show location of selectedion of devices with "@location"
0.7.5: Deamons: add tooltips, improve selection, display of data

• Updated to Gitin 0.7.4
• Includes table service.
• test with object.Dump(optional separator) in CDevice

Screen to show the combination of services and the devices they run on; can be combined with drag'n drop from service to device.
Services can be shown all or selected on category, eg. file, mail, ..
Devices can be selected from categories or locations or general new/all/with service/without services known on it.

Keep the (location)/ name of the (main/most important) config file.

0.6.8
Services like "backup" "fileserver", "smtp" etc can be kept in this table, and linked to the device they run on.
Extra info like from when and untill when this service was used, start, restart and stop scripts and remark.

Basic form added FService, so data can be added, device id can be entered manually.
Todo: form to link services to devices.

gitin table "cable" gets 2 fieldnames changed:
connectedA becomes connectedA_nic_id
connectedB becomes connectedB_nic_id

Code adapted to fieldname changes
Todo: in the table _dd_helpdata you have to adjust help data based on fieldname.. see changes.sql

Todo: adapt gitinCLI...

Some forms got a delete button.
While also work is done on general delete form (mneu Edit, Delete..) where more information is show about the occurence of the record intended for deletion.

0.6.6
Forms:
Nic can be deleted if not used in any other records (e.g. ipHistory)
IpHistory can be deleted (to be able to delete nic).
Path can be deleted.

0.6.5: cables in Connect form can be sorted on record id, color, or length now.... read more

0.6.0 : Ip address Form information: list of ip-addresses in use, list of free ip addresses, ip address history.

0.5.9 and before: Connect Form improved, updates info on screen now.

Cleanup of forms, buttons
Drag'n'drop works a bit better now: cable to (locations) rooms; cable plug to NIC
Connect form gives more information; e.g. selected device->nic->cable->path->device connected to (at other side)

-Database settings asked and stored on startup (if one of them fails).

• otherwise shows record count of all tables of gitin database at startup
  -Some old "common Gitin" code removed

• path got extra field "sequence" to follow the path of a cable trhough locations in that (/reversed) order.
• Form for path adapted, works now
• FConnect: select a cable and the path will be shown in the errorbox right (temporary location for that?)

0.3.5

• Ip History added (table and code); when Nic is saved with other ip address, iphistory is created.
• Ip History is shown in form with ip addresses.

0.3.0 fix image of previous shown if no image set.

0.2.9 Clean up a lot of bugs and adjust code for consistency.

0.2.8 Ping added: you can ping an IP address (v.4) with double-click on the label with the ip address in "Connect" screen.

0.2.7 Adjusted double-click to copy current data to new data field to edit

0.2.6
In the configuration, the image directory will get its subdirectories now.
A second picture directory can be given (subdirectories will be made) as a "source" for your pictures; it can be a mapped drive on a server that is the common place to store pictures of new devices, locations.

0.2.5 !! table modification!!

• added gitinExample.sql with some sample data
• table device gets field for main os and an os remark field.... read more

Adapted MData and Classes (import from Gitin 0.2.3)

Basic list commands work, like:

list cable
List with data fields of records of cable table

List location
List with data+metadata fields for table location

list device 2
Dump of fields+data of record 2 of table device

0.2.2

• drag 'n drop: category to device,
• FMain: add column titles, option in menu to hide empty columns + store in settings, show database host
• Fix save IP address for NIC

0.2.1 - 0.2.0

• drag n drop device to location, fixes

Database modifications:
0.1.9

• add location_id to device
  0.1.8
• imagefield to location

0.1.7: Location extended with picture field (imagefilename), pictures to be stored local.

I run it with just a little bit data in it, starts to become fun. Still have to adapt CLI to the changes. Should make a sample dataset.

Some previous steps:
0.1.6: Connection screen has possibility to add a given number of ports to a device (creates "nic" records)
0.1.5: NIC table and object added; with field to keep a fixed ip addres and label field for switch port number
Changed to gb.gui instead of gb.qt5 to be more backward compatible.
0.1.4: category added to devices (eg printer, monitor, server, pc, network)

Put the (small) pictures of your devices in the (hidden) directory (see Settings).
Go to devices, select form the list with the filenames and save to add picture to the device.
So now we have:

• location data
• cable data
• device data
• path data to couple cables to ...

Just building up the app, not for use yet, database tables still in development.
