[Mantisbt-dev] Mantis 19 RC1 and Filters

[Shane K. <sha...@yo...>]

Greetings All!

This is kind of a re-post. Quite some time ago I complained about the proposed new filter 
options from the cvs version. I finally got around to installing the RC for version 19 
and I have only one negative comment. 

The new filters.

It takes up sooo much space. In an ideal world I would like to see most the first two 
lines from the advanced filters screen (drop downs for Reporter, Assigned, Category, 
Severity, Status, Product build, Version, Show, and Changed) with a link to launch the 
advanced filters page.

I find the screen real estate taken up by the massive number of custom fields is extreme, 
and all the links launch the exact same page. just a single link would do for me. 

The advanced filters page sometimes stretches off screen. 

Two enhancements that I think would grant a huge value add for the filters would be the 
ability to filter with a comparison other than equals (like grater than for example). 
Also add a option for a custom field to allow the administrator to decide whether to 
include it in the filters section.

Other than my filters rant, I think Mantis is one of the leading applications in defect 
management. Keep up the outstanding work.
