Grouping of location dropdown

Hi Pat,

Have you given any thought to grouping of the locations by region e.g.

US

  • Dulles
  • San Jose
  • etc.
    Europe
  • Amsterdam
  • Dublin
  • etc.

Given the current structure of locations.ini I’m guess adding a region= setting to location would be needed?

I plan to have a dabble with re-implementing locations.ini in TOML (GitHub - toml-lang/toml: Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language) - I’ve taken a brief look at the code that reads locations.ini but haven’t got much further yet. (got other things to finish first)

Yeah, I’ve considered it a bit but it’s mostly an issue just for the public instance so I haven’t put a whole lot of work into it, mostly because the dropdown lists don’t have particularly good support for making it look better. I’ll take a look again and see if things got any better.

I reckon is what you need

(this isn’t high priority for me either)

Thanks - that did the trick. Give it a try and let me know if it looks ok.

You can add a group=blah to locations (or just the first location for any grouping) and all of the locations until the group label changes will be grouped together.

Thanks, it looks great!
