Variables in User Interface - possible improvement?

Hello,
I'm not sure to understand for the #1. Could it be possible that RDM always force the lowercase in url?

Regards

Hi David,
yes it looks like so.. and therefore the name of the entry are always displayed in lowercase when the variable $HOST$ is used. Maybe for a single connection it makes no difference, but we have templates where the parent is a Web Browser Entry with some sub connections like SSH, SCP etc.. and if for the sub`s the variable $PARENT_HOST$ is used for the names, all names are in lowercase - no chance to change it to uppercase (with the variable variant)..
I can send you a .rdm entry from one of the mentioned templates if you would..

Thanks! :)

Yes please. Send me the .rdm it will be much easier to verify for us.

Hi,
I have verified and there is nothing I can do. Here is how we extract the host name:


Uri uri = new Uri(connection.WebBrowserUrlMain);
return uri.Host;


And uri.Host is the Microsoft .NET code and unfortunately it always returns the host in lowercase:

Sorry about that.

Hi David,
thanks for the investigation! Pity, but ok - then we have enter the session name manually if a uppercase name is prefered.
For #2 - whats your opinion? Should the variables already be resolved when the focus is on the parent entry, or is the actually behaviour wanted to see where variables are used on the sub connections?

Thanks!

Hi,
