Refactor Favorites functionality of Aliases on the Dashboard

[WhamboMPS]

An Alias card can be marked by the user as a "Favorite". Doing so will ensure that the card auto-sorts to the top of the list on the Dashboard, a handy feature. However, this has unintended consequences.

When a custom alias is created this creation process occurs on a new web page, New Custom Alias. Clicking the "Create" button on the New Custom Alias page returns the user to the Dashboard (as would be expected). However, this new alias will not appear at the top of the Dashboard but will instead show up below any previously marked Favorite alias(es). This means the user has to scroll down to find it.

Instead of auto-sorting Favorites to the top of the Dashboard, include them as an item in the filter criterion that defaults to "All Aliases".

@WhamboMPS a new filter for only pinned aliases is now added

The display after an alias creation is also improved to make sure the new alias is correctly highlighted :).

@WhamboMPS you're right that the wording is a bit confusing, I've updated to use "pin" instead of "favorite" to avoid the confusion :)

However, aliases that are pinned continue to sort to the top of the list regardless of the filter box's selection

I just tested and if a filter is selected, the pinned aliases will be ignored. The pinned aliases will always be on top as they are meant to be quickly accessed but they should disappear whenever an explicit filter is applied.

Thanks for looking into this, @nguyenkims. Unfortunately, I am not seeing the same behavior as you. [Link previously in this post removed 2021-09-21].

@WhamboMPS this is indeed a bug, it has been fixed now in the latest version. Can you please retry?

[WhamboMPS]

@nguyenkims Just tested and can confirm that the feature is working as (I) would expect. Thanks for implementing this request!

Cool!
