Hello! We've been trying out the free version of RDM at my company for a little while and have thoroughly enjoyed it. However, we have found a few points of aggravation when attempting to use the VMware Synchronizer which prompted me to make an account to discuss.
Our current use case is to have all of our Linux VMs import with an SSH template, and all of the Windows VMs import with an RDP template. However, due to the way our VMs are organized in the vSphere Client/vCenter, this is proving quite annoying. Below is a very simplified example of our organizational structure, with all objects assumed to be in the same Datacenter.
While the above example is fairly simple, in our situation we have many, many more VMs and have resorted to creating subfolders in each top-level folders for Linux and Windows, with separate synchronizers for each. This results in dozens of synchronizers, each handling only a small portion of our servers. We unfortunately aren't able to just make a top-level folder for each fo Windows and Linux and sort below that as it is above due to our parent organization being somewhat strict about their top-level structure.
To get to the point, I would like to make the following feature requests regarding the VMware Synchronizers:

Some of these would definitely take some time to implement, but I believe even a small update such as 1A or 1D prior to a big overhaul would help myself and numerous others simplify their configurations. After all, the less time it takes setting up the toys, the more time spent playing with them!
