RDM 5.7.x description field layout change option

Hi,
Yes this is something possible, but just for my information, what is the problem with the new format, maybe I can do something else ?

Hi David,

It's more a personal thing.
The old layout was simple, clear and global for all defined sessions.
The font had a valid size out-of-the-box, so i like it also the background of the field.

With the new layout, it possible to set a lot of indiviual setting only for the current session, at the moment i miss a global set option. e.g. when i set the font to size 12 it should be for all sessions.

So it would be great for the users to decide what they want.
What's the reason why you have changed this?
Was a request of a user?

Hi,
Thank you for the details, it's important for me and you convince me to keep the old description mode.

This was introduce to add bullet, bold or any highlight, but you're right, for most of the people, a good old memo is perfect.

PS: This is why I like doing beta, for all the good feedback I get :)

Hello David,

sorry for the delay. Yes i have tested the 5.7.0.12 and the description box is OK.
Only one thing. You can instert, text, RTF, URL.
When you have already instert e.g. a Text and switched to URL -> OK and -> Edit Session -> change back from URL to Text the old Text is missing.
Can you store the description of Text, RTF and URL in the mdb until the whole session would be deleted?

many thanks and rgs Bob
