RSE - When deleting datasets, should not be repositioned 'up one level'.

FM - Performance Enhancement for 'Paste'

Currently it take a very long time for 'Paste' to be completed. We were explained that RDz 'talks' to host each time the (one) record has been 'pasted'.This is request to re-design the way this works.

FM - 'Exit?' warning when cancelling requests

When you are cancelling operation in File Manager (for example, cancelling 'Paste'), when you press 'Cancel' it seems like you are cancelling specific request. Instead the FM session gets cancelled. It needs to be made clear. When 'Cancel' has bee...
