Perhaps the refresh list could be user defined in a window you open in File -> Options--> Refresh Groups. Basically, its shows a list of all databases and groups with a check box at the left so that you can tag the group for refresh or not e.g.

Hi Wilson,
This would be a great feature to have.
Also, on the main panel, could the groups marked X be distinguished from those not marked X by being displayed in different text of some kind (color, style, grayed out, or something)? That would be useful during a long Refresh All Groups session, when you want to double-check which groups you marked but you don't want to stop the download to check it out...
Thanks!
Hi Debbie,
I kind of like that in one way and in another way I don't.
If you know what supposed to be happening it will make perfect sense but if you don't know that its supposed to work that way then it may look a bit odd.
I might just do it and see what it looks like... or do it & make it an option in Miscellaneous.
Cheers,
Wilson.
Hi Wilson,
Now that I think about it, my idea was not so hot from the standpoint of user interface design. If it's there it should be an option rather than something that happens automatically. Certainly agree.
Best,
Debby
