Improve Cue View in multiple-NIC environments

[sparks-alec]

Some initial ideas!

• Indicate what NICs are available
• Indicate what IP ranges are searchable
• Indicate what NIC is being used for each device

What happens if two NICs overlap how would you be able to present to the user what NIC is being used.

[jwetzell]

The search button could possibly prompt the user to select from a list of ranges determined by the os.networkInterfaces() call. Or just let the user enter a range.

I've added a button near the Search and Refresh buttons that opens a Network Information window. This window lists the attached NICs and their search ranges- but you're right, there's no way to know what NIC is attached to each device.

[jwetzell]

I like this I wonder if on this window you could simply add a button for each NIC to search that specific address space.

[sparks-alec]

interesting!! I do want to keep the magic "just show me everything on my show" button that searches everything, but adding narrow searches on this window is a great idea. Probably it needs a new icon then as it transforms from an info-only window to a interactive one.

[jwetzell]

Yeah, or maybe have a right-click on the search button give a selection list for individual NICs (left-click would still be the all powerful search)

[sparks-alec]

I propose that further development on this be post-1.0!

[jwetzell]

I second this proposal. But yeah I think the new information window allows users to see what network interfaces the app is aware of. Only thing I just committed a fix for was I noticed the menu is shown on that window for linux & mac... which to me doesn't make sense so I set it to be removed for those platforms.
