Title: import activity tags?
Post by: Benahmed Abdelkrim on February 06, 2021, 07:46:30 AM
Hello dear Volker;
I suggest allowing TiTiTo to import activity tags. they are very useful in some files which use these tags to represent the rooms. what do you think?

hmmm...
Not sure.
I didn't imported them, since in my opinion activity tags should be only used to setup constraints easily. So tags should be only used for the timetablemaker, not the students and teachers.
But in fact FET added a new feature some time ago, so some tags might be visible and others are hidden.

Sadly not easy to do that now. (Importing is not to difficult, but you also need to modify nearly all dialogs. So that is a lot of work and some dialogs are aloready pretty full).

So i am note sure if i should write it on my todo. (I am also pretty limited in coding time. So i fear this request won't be implemented soon. In my opinion drag and drop if you schedule activities and and modeless dialogs have a highery priority on my list).

hhmm...
Maybe a workaround is enough? Just rename the rooms in TiTiTo (maybe also add new room names).
Maybe give me an example where/why you use the activity tags for rooms. Maybe there are other/easier workarounds possible. (Like importing tags as rooms.)

I was working on a file for the quarterly exams, and I wanted to make some manual modifications with TiTiTo.  The problem was that the program did not import activity tags.  So I moved to introducing these modifications by the FET-nsrt program.  You find the file I was working on from the link below...
  Of course, this is only a suggestion and does not have any urgency...  Perhaps, if conditions permit in the future. Thanks for your interest and your help 🙂

hmm... ok. Not sure if i am able to write a workaround for that version. At least sadly not now or the nexts few month :-(
i will recheck later.
