[Feature/Bug] Include Folder Path with Program Name

(Repeating a request I mistakenly created in the Current Release, Betas, and Bug Reports forum...  Don't see how to move it myself.)

 

In an ISY program, when configuring a program action to run another program, the drop-down for selecting the program would be better if it were to include the folder names with the program names. Similarly, when displaying the name of the program in the Program Content, include the folder path there as well. The ISY Portal suffers from the same issue when exposing a program as an inbound event for IFTTT. 

 

I have folders for rooms with programs for actions below them like so:

  • My Programs
    • Laundry
      • Foo
      • ...
    • Porch
      • Foo
      • ...
    • ...

 

When I want to run the Laundry/Foo program from some other program, the drop-down control to select a program only includes a single "Foo" entry and it's not clear which one it's referring to. So, both a bug (the other is missing) and a bit of non-determinism (which one is selected).   

 

I work around this by renaming them "Laundry Foo" and "Porch Foo" but would rather see the program handle this a little more elegantly by listing them as "Laundry / Foo" and "Porch / Foo"; i.e. prepend the folder name to the program name.  If there were multiple folders deep, prepend them all the way up the same way.   

 

Nothing that can't be (and likely has been) worked around easily.  Just a bit of polish to consider.
