Build 359 - turning off Comments Group By?

Post by chrisjj »

To see all comments in one list, I'd love to turn off Comments Group by:

but selecting that tick does not do that - unlike other ticks e.g.

Any way to do this?

Thanks.

Hello, chrisjj

No, It is not possible to disable comment grouping, likely the closest option would be to group by modification date, or author if only one person has applied comments to the file.

Kind regards,

Hi Chris,

thanks for the post and suggestion. How would you propose the results be ordered in such a case? If there is no groupling I suppose it could still be ordered by Creation Date or Modification Date... Maybe some options.

Why specifically, may I ask, are you keen to do away with the groupings?
Best regards

The same as currently.

As I said: "To see all comments in one list".

Sorry for being obtuse there, I get that.

The idea being that selecting the currently selected grouping would turn off grouping until a group by was again selected.

Let me float that to the team and see what kind of support it garners.
