It has been 4 years since the original report, but some work needed to be done to come to a sound response. The next release of RackTables will allow to assign colours to tags. The user interface will respond to these colours in ways that are roughly similar to the current "has problems" checkbox effects. In particular, it will not mix the nested object colours into the container object colours, which so far seems to look better. Also it will not display any contained objects on the rack thumbnails, which actually could be a good next improvement if anybody is willing to contribute it. That said, with the new feature the original problem you had stated (impossible to tell quickly which objects are marked with "has problems") is going to have a solution (retrieving the list of objects that have a tag is straightforward). To eliminate the confusion between the old and the new features, subsequent releases will drop support for the "has problems" flag (with an automatic one-time conversion to a red-coloured tag). Once the release with the new feature is available, you are welcome to test it and to provide additional feedback to see if anything else needs to be taken into account in this process. |
