  • scfg: add "long name/short name" toggle in door mode.

    When running scfg -iD and you go into message sub-boards, only the short name is displayed. There are times I'd like to see the long name list instead. Maybe add "t" to toggle between short and long name display.

    Example:
    ~~~
    [AmigaNet Sub-boards (21)]
    1: BBSNEWS AMY
    2: BBSSOFT AMY
    3: COMMS AMY
    4: COMS AMY
    5: FILE ANNOUNCE AMY
    6: HARD AMY
    ...

    I'm not clear why you're specifying "in door mode". The same menu items/options are displayed in SCFG regardless of the interface mode it is run in. Are you actually seeing different sub-board names displayed when using the scfg -id (stdio interface mode) option versus other interface modes?

    The name displayed in sub-board listings in SCFG actually changes based on the sort mode for the message group. The default sort/display name is each sub's long name (description). The short name is display if the group is set to sort by sub's short names.

    Ah, my bad, I completely missed "sort mode". yup, that does it. Thanks.
