Timeline feedback

• 
  When you choose another database, the timeline does not refresh. The timline refreshes only when you click on the Activity History tab. This is very disturbing, becouse you never know, if the timline is appropriate for the chosen database.
  
  In general the first fellings with working with the program are good.

  The timeline refreshes itself every 30 seconds (in the beta you will notice a slight flicker in the dark, future area at present) this flicker will not be there in the final release. Clicking on the activity history tab should not cause a refresh in itself. If you zoom right in you will see the ticker and the "dark gray" future area moving independently, the ticker is "now" the dark gray future area is the present/future at the last update. I hope this explains the behaviour you are seeing.

  Thanks once again and keep the feedback coming even if it seems trivial - every little helps.
  
  Thanks,

  I agree with you. But I was a little confused. When I choose a different database, timeline was unchanged although history activity tab was change. I think this two operations must be a synchronize if history activity record was different date and time range concerning timeline.
  
  Example:
  I look database backup history for database 'A', last selected activity record was in dec. 2006, then I chose database 'B'. History activity is changed and I see last backup for database 'B' was made before 6 month. But timeline show me december 2006. I think the timeline focus must change on selected range of history activity record.
  
  Maybe I was confused becouse all DB mark (blue vertical line) was the same color and I not see, that my new chose database was not marked in that time range.
  
  My suggestion, every database should have the same color for the icon and mark (vertical line), that is different from the other colors of the database icons.

  I'd like to see the Timeline show a summary when a server / group is in the collapsed state. (Sum up the timelines, and show red if any of the databases had a failure in that time)
  
  In a large enterprise with dozens of servers and hundreds of databases is not reasonable to have to keep everything expanded to view timelines.

  How do I see activities in the timeline for a single database that I have selected in the tree? I am getting activities for the whole server in the timeline irrespective of the database I am selecting in the tree.
