Hi again.
After timetable generation
in timetable tab (teachers, students etc.)
I can see which activities are time or space locked ( I see LT or/and LS acronims)
and I can toggle these constraints for one or more activities whith mouse highlighting.
It would be very usefull If I can see the same signature in HTML files.
When I updates timetable many times on website
I would like to tell people that some their activities are already fixed time or place.
It should be some general option in FET allowing user to decide wether show this tags or not in HTML files.
When timetable is finished it should be easy switched off visibility of the two tags in all timetable in HTML files.
I don't want to insert these tags manualy in activity dialog because it is some cumbersome.

I am not sure - I like or dislike this feature. Let me add it in the TODO list and think over it. If more people will upvote it I might be forced to implement it.

I fear that feature won't help help much, since the others won't understand why you locked the activities in time and space.
If that guys ask you to change/swap activities, then they do that, because they see an advantage in that suggestion.
Maybe you didn't saw that advantage yourself and locked the time or place even in fact there is a better solution.
Other guys won't understand why the suggestion might be bad if they don't know why you locked the times and places.
So in my opinion the correct way is giving the reason for the lock.
So in my opinion a better suggestion will be printing a list of all locked times and spaces with the comment/reason why it is locked. Only with that information a user will understand it. Only with this information the other guys are able to detect bugs you maybe done yourself.
