* serverids currently include a short version marker: the "v0-" in<br>
"v0-fcmgu663rdyshncihts4e45rtwjwvc7ebcrtlaiv345yyps667pq". Does that<br>
get in the way of cut-and-paste? Would it be better to use something<br>
like "v0fcmgu663rdyshncihts4e45rtwjwvc7ebcrtlaiv345yyps667pq"? When we<br>
abbreviate these in places like the FileChecker results page (to<br>
identify specific servers), is there a way to get the v0- out of the<br>
abbreviated form? (maybe use a "-v0"/"v0" suffix? maybe define the<br>
abbreviated form to skip the prefix, so this example appears as just<br>
"fcmgu"?)</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think a suffix version, or an abbreviated form, would be very helpful. When trying to understand grid behavior through the WUI I often find myself looking at the first few characters of each ID. Prefixing all of them with a common string would required me to search past the common part to find, which wouldn't be difficult, but would slow me down. A suffix wouldn't matter, and an abbreviated form might be best of all.</div>
