Description
Hi All,
No Necessary a bug but i currently use 50 VPN configurations and it is causing this dialogue to open.
Is the GUI Limit their for a reason? Should i Manage my configs in another way?
I've moved one of my less used ones out into another folder for the moment.
As a enchment request - I would find it useful if you could have a grouping of configs which within one submenu:
For Example
--- Area 1
---- Config 1
---- Config 2
---- Config 3
--- Area 2
---- Config 1
---- Config 2
---- Config 3
Would save my configs looking like the attached images!
Cheers
Joe

PR 247 (
https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-gui/pull/247
) adds nested configs and lifts the limit on number of configs. Available in GUI version 11.12.0 / release 2.4.7 and later.
This is an arbitrary limitation. If you are able to recompile the GUI, configure with MAX_CONFIGS defined to a large value (see ./configure --help).
However, with too many configs, navigating the menu is going to be hard without some design changes -- either grouping of configs as you suggest or opening up a scrollable window for the configs beyond a certain number (say 10 or more) is needed. I don't know of any plans for such improvements, but patches are always welcome :)
