RVTools #4 - version 2.3.1

I have downloaded the latest version of RVTools - v2.3.1. Its just a minor bugfix version.

I have only two minor criticisms.

The requirement to uninstall the previous version before installing the new version is annoying, but at least there is no requirement to reboot. Uninstall uses up a couple of minutes. It would be so nice if a graceful upgrade could be managed.

We have quite a few VMs. If you have scrolled to the bottom of the vInfo Tab to view the information for a VM and then want to check the information for that VM displayed on the vCPU Tab. Well, on selection of the vCPU Tab, the list automatically reverts to the top of the list.

I can think of instances when that is the behaviour you would like. I just suspect that more usually you will want to keep your relative position.

Of course, there are some Tabs when it is not possible or meaningful to maintain a relative position. If one of those were selected, then it is reasonable that the top of the list is selected.

Despite my quibbles, RVTools is still an excellent tool.

And that's that!
