I would like to offer enhancement ideas for UltraFTP.

Navigation Pane:

1. As you mouse over a particular site highlight the row that you are on
2. Ability to sort your sites
3. When creating a folder highlight the site as you drag it to the folder so you know you are actually dragging to the proper site rather than guessing
4. Also while dragging highlight the row you are hovering over
5. When sorting place folders at the top

Main Panes - Source & Destination

1. When dragging files to a folder do not go to that folder, just drag the files

Hopefully other individuals are using this tool and can add other basic usability features...

I requested all these enhancements also by email to IDM support.

I do like the changes suggested . I have one more. I have not been able to figure a way to do this: assign a background color to an account. The color would refer to environment
PROD of TEST, etc.

Thank you.

I support the ideas and in addition I would like to have the possibilities:

1. to set a time offset between local and remote system and
2. to select all newer files either on the local or on the remote by one click.

Sure not much action in this forum, but I'll post anyway 

In the Action dropdown between Local and Remote panes in Folder Sync, I'd like an additional option to Delete or Send the other direction.  My Sync Rules are set to only copy Remote to Local so perhaps other options are available if my auto-processing rules didn't restrict those.  Just thought that if I'm specifying manually, I should be able to do whatever I like.
Similarly, I'd like to be able to right-click on a file and perform normal File Manager functions (rename and delete in particular)

Using UltraFTP 21.0 as basis, I would suggest a complete rewamp of the FTP Account Manager.
It is truly user UNfriendly and not up to the otherwise excellent standard of IDM products.
No folder structure like in the Accounts & Sessions
Unable to stretch the window size

@JorgenBB I agree the whole UI for UltraFTP needs work.  I hope the change this summer brings those updates.  I love IDM products, but this one is like the ugly red headed step child for some reason.  If you look at FileZilla; performance, ease of use etc. blows this away, I just don't get it.  Still hoping though if you look at my basic "wants" it was 2018 ....

@GWPienaar, @Rheinschauer, @randy16randy, @JorgenBB and all readers of this topic:

It is very welcome in the user to user forum of UltraFTP to post ideas for new features, enhancements and improvements to share them with other UltraFTP users. But please note that IDM Computer Solutions, Inc. is not monitoring the user to user forums. It is important that users request new features, enhancements and improvements with an email to IDM support as done by tripcat1021. The more users request a specific feature, enhancement or improvement, the higher becomes the priority for implementation.

It is also always very good to explain an enhancement or improvement request as good as possible so that the persons making the decision to implement a request or ignore it and the developers doing the implementation really know what is requested by the user(s). Just suggesting a complete redesign of the FTP Account Manager is most likely not seriously taken into account without suggesting how the redesigned FTP Account Manager should look like finally and why that redesigned FTP Account Manager is more useful for the users. I am quite sure it makes a big difference if a user has configured just 1 to 10 accounts or dozens or even hundreds of accounts.

I attached a cartoon which I think describes even better what I mean. See also other tree swing cartoons and the Wikipedia article about the tree swing cartoon.
