Ha ha.. looks like "CharlesFilter" wins?
That site is pretty sweet. Might actually use it once I put together more options.

I am working on a image file viewer thingy using Windows Imaging Components. I was going to call it WinCodecBitmap, but after spinning the wheel I think I will call it Hanna.
Thanks

I put together the two suggestions (M-W thesaurus and wheel of names). I pasted the list of related words in wheel of names and a clairvoyant spin produced the right answer: WASH. Like in: if you don't know what to name it, it's a wash; any name is as good as the next.

Perfect task for Copilot.
I gave it the entire text of your original post and here is Copilot's response.
Copilot said: Ah, the eternal struggle of naming things in software development! It’s a challenge that many of us face, and it’s perfectly normal to fret over it. After all, a good name can make your code more readable and maintainable, while a poor one can lead to confusion and frustration.
Here are a few strategies you might consider when naming your new components:
Descriptive Names:
Aim for names that clearly convey the purpose or functionality of the component. For example:
FilterPanel: If your component handles filtering functionality.
FilterOptions: If it’s related to filter configuration.
FilterSelector: If it allows users to choose from different filters.
Think about what the component does and choose a name that reflects that.
Domain-Specific Terms:
Consider using terms from your project’s domain or industry. For instance:
TagCloud: If your component deals with tags.
SearchCriteria: If it represents search filters.
SortDropdown: If it handles sorting options.
Using domain-specific terms can make your code more intuitive for other developers.
Avoid Generic Names:
As you mentioned, names like “NewFilter” or “Filter2” aren’t very helpful. They lack specificity and might cause confusion down the road.
Instead, opt for more meaningful names that provide context.
Be Consistent:
If your existing components follow a certain naming convention (e.g., “FilterGroup”), try to maintain consistency.
Consistency makes it easier for developers to understand the relationships between components.
Avoid Abbreviations:
While abbreviations can save keystrokes, they often sacrifice clarity.
For example, prefer FilterConfiguration over FilterConfig.
Think About Future Iterations:
You’re right to consider future-proofing your names. Think about how the component might evolve.
Instead of “Filter2,” consider something like “AdvancedFilter” or “EnhancedFilter.”
Remember that there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, and different projects and teams have varying conventions. Ultimately, choose names that make sense in your specific context. And don’t worry—you’re not alone in this naming struggle! 😄

Yeah, I thought if there's no additional context beyond versioning a date works well (i.e. your `Filter2024` suggestion), as you shouldn't be refactoring multiple times per year, and keeping track of dates is easier than using any versioning system (e.g. if one component didn't get redefined when doing the v2 work, when you refactor again does that component jump straight to v3, or should it be the v2 of that component despite being v3 of the whole / etc).

|

FilterNew, Filter2, etc, as you put it, are bad options.
Try to add a bit of context to the name to differentiate it from other filters you may have elsewhere. What type of thing it's supposed to be filtering. If it's intended to filter items that all have the same interface (IBlob) or share a common base class (Blob), maybe BlobFilter. That sort of thing. Don't overthink it.

Looking for recommendations here...
I'm using Oracle Box VM. When I RDC into it, strange things happen.
First, Copy & Paste no longer works. Not Host to Remote, I'm talking about Copy & Paste INSIDE RDC. Select text, copy -> paste - Nothing.
It's also REALLY slow. I've tried various things like restarting rdpclip.exe. Still can't copy & paste.
If I work through the OracleBox window, everything is fine - except I can only use one monitor. Anyone know of a decent replacement that allows dual monitors?
NOTE: I don't want to TOGGLE between monitors, I want full use of both monitors.
Thanks

I use RDC on a dual-monitor Windows 10 system (left monitor) to connect to a single-monitor Windows 7 system (right monitor). I can copy & paste between the two. Your experience is different, though, correct?

I just now tried that, too, and it works as expected. I was using a couple of Notepad windows.

I use plain old mstsc.exe (the standard RDP client), and it does work with multiple monitors, as long as they're adjacent. The trick is to make sure your .rdp file contains the correct monitor IDs - and they're NOT necessarily the same as those reported by the Display Settings utility. To get the correct monitor IDs mstsc.exe recognizes, run:
mstsc /l
...which will enumerate your monitors (the ID you need) and the resolution and coordinates they're running (that should be your indicator as to which monitor that line represents). In my case, as I'm writing this, it shows monitors 1, 3 and 5 (even though I only have 3 physical monitors hooked up) and based on the resolution shown, I know the correct IDs are 1 and 5.
Therefore, my .rdp file contains the line:
selectedmonitors:s:1,5
You CANNOT set this purely by using mstsc.exe's UI - this has to be done by manually editing the .rdp file with some text editor.
There's other settings that can be written to the .rdp file through the UI (telling it to use multiple monitors, etc). I'm not certain which of the following are necessary, but along with the line above, I also have these, which are probably related:
screen mode id:i:2
span monitors:i:1
use multimon:i:1
Bottom line is, I suggest you enable multiple desktops using the mstsc.exe UI, save the .rdp file, close mstsc.exe, and then manually tweak the content to ensure (a) the 3 lines above are there and (b) adjust the selectedmonitors line based on the IDs you're getting back.
Note that those IDs can change just by rebooting your system. It's annoying, but I don't know of any solution for that. Sometimes "#5" will become "#4", so I have to change that one line. If it goes back to #5, I change it back.
I also use mRemoteNG, but I never tried to get it to use more than one monitor at a time.
A co-worker of mine uses RDCMan from SysInternals, but I don't think it supports multiple monitors (or if it does, it's all-or-nothing).

While I appreciate you taking the time to reply, I'm not sure it answered my post.
When I'm in RDS, Copy & Paste doesn't work (Inside RDC, not Host to Remote. Copy text, past, nothing!), and the whole experience is reallllly slow. I've tried multiple 'fixes' over & over, with no luck. so I'm looking for an alternative.

Sorry, I thought you were focusing on multi-monitor support.
But, I do tend to stick with mstsc.exe, and generally, copy and paste does work.

I see your copy+paste not working and rise it to copy+paste working across users.
I copy something in my session and you can paste it in your session.
That was RDC to a Windows Server 2012... really funny

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

I use Multiplicity from Stardock, but it only works with windows. It works either by extending your desktop, or as a regular remote desktop connection (very fast compared to mstsc).

I can recommend mRemoteNG which is a multi-protocol, multi-tab remote client for RDP, SSH, VNC etc.
The current release is quite old, but there are some betas about - results may vary.
Development appears to be in transition, but it works so well that a few quirks are acceptable (e.g. latest beta requires a click in the window to set focus when changing tabs on SSH connections).
Choosing Redirects is easy and includes the clipboard (works perfectly in the same tab, between tabs and between host and client).

Totally off the topic at hand (my apologies). I just had to reply after seeing this tagline. It took me back to my high school days when I was doing exactly the same thing. Toggle switches, RIM loader, BIN loader, yay!

To me I see two parts to the problem and responses only seem to focus on one part. The parts
- Oracle Box VM
- RDC
I presume you are running the VM locally. Not having used VMWare for a very long time I would also wonder what you might have going on in it. So you might want to try a completely different and minimal build. Along with verifying how memory is being mapped. (I can suppose everything is going to be slow if memory in the VM is low.)
Then you might also try using RDC with something completely different also. Also locally.
After localizing the problem to one of those then you could start looking for a solution.

Specially for inhouse connections between Windows machines, I am using TightVNC for years now. Pretty fast and I do work on a lot of headless machines, including constant copy&paste (both text as well as files) all day long. Also including about half a dozen VMs (mostly older Windows XP/7 hosts for software that doesn't exist or is retarded on newer versions of Windows)...

I read your question and I remember that this happened to me, but I could not remember how I fixed it.
I went to lunch and voila, I remembered.
After I reinstalled both the client machine and the machine I was remoting to, I decided this was not a Windows issue. Trust me, I tried everything I could try.
I tested another keyboard on the local machine, and that fixed the problem.
Does it make sense, no.
Did it work, yes!
Good luck!
