Batch Edit (general settings) Icon Color

I would like to request an additional Override for the Batch Edit (General Settings). It would be nice to be able to mass change the Icon Color such that a group of icons can all have the same colors. Currently you have to go icon by icon, one by one.

Hello,

I guess you mean you want to batch edit this within the GUI?

It's possible to batch edit the colours with a custom PowerShell command:

$connection.ImageName = "[Red]";
$RDM.Save(); 

for the default red icon colour as example.

Yes. I'm hoping for an add to the GUI. Currently I can select a collection of folders and sub sessions, and can override folder, display, and icon. But I cannot bulk edit icon color. Icons are helpful is visual queues but colors of the icons are also helpful, and its a way I group clusters or make certain VIP or priority objects pop over the others. It would be so much easier and quicker to select in the GUI all the objects I would like to be 'green', and use the bulk edit to accomplish this.

Alright, I understand 😉
For now you can use the PowerShell - so you must not edit every single entry - just mark all your sessions and select
Edit => Edit (Special Actions)... => Custom PowerShell command
For Green the command would be

$connection.ImageName = "[Green]";
$RDM.Save();

Very cool! Thank you. Almost perfect. When I select folders and sessions, the code changes session colors successfully, but skips folders. Is there an additional line needed to also change folders?

Hello,

for folders you have to use the Advanced Search. (Search for Folders) If you select folders in the default navigation pane, the command will be executed against all sessions within this folder, not on the folder itself. With the Advanced search it will be applied only on the folder.

Thank you Min for helping with the Powershell method!

As for the original request, we will open a feature ticket so we can add this to RDM eventually. It will be simpler for users not to rely on Powershell.

Hello,

As it turns out, we already partially supported this feature. When using the batch edit changes, if you select the "Default" image and change its color. It will only change the image's color of all selected entries.

That said, we did not support this if the icons were different from their original ones.This support has now been added, and should be available as early as next version.
