Hi

Not sure if possible but It would be useful if when creating OPC tags if the browse history was remembered so that when if you need to create another tag from the same device you don’t have to filter down through all of the devices again.

Thanks

Aidan

We could probably add a “recent paths” box to the OPC browser. I’ll add a feature request ticket for it.

The topic is rather old, but I would love to see this also. Currently, I need to click 8 times for every OPC tag I use.
