RE: Annoyances
The issue I have with the Tree is not that we can't see the parents but, owning both parents and their box, we can't see the box when we look at the parents; we can see the parents from the box. So it's a one-way link. Owning a box gives you permission to see the parents and grandparents, but owning the parents does not give you permission to see their box which YOU OWN. Consider the question: should I release this mother? Well, if she's produced the box we want, yes. But has she? Who knows. The only way to know is to check every box and see if she's its mother.
The other issue, which bit me today and promoted the posting, is I had some boxes which I could see the Gender in-world but could not see the Gender in the Cattery. Charm finally convinced me to open the boxes. Which brought out another annoyance: some boxes take 15 minutes, some take 5, and some start by saying they'll take 15, but only take 4 .. and the countdown jumps from 15 to 4.
Yes, I know there's only one programmer. And, yes, he's got a lot on his plate. I'm not expecting changes any time soon; which is why I'm seriously considering adding sort/select capabilities using GreaseMonkey. Yes, it'd be fragile since, if he does make changes, the local Java scripts will break. But it'd be better than having to scroll back and forth through all those cats, constantly overlooking the one we want.
