v0.9.0 complaints and suggested solutions

I greatly appreciate you providing this tool; I find it very helpful and use it every day. However, because I use it every day, I care more about how well it works. Please consider the following complaints and suggested solutions.

Although each of these should probably be a separate issue, I thought I’d combine them here to keep the issue count down and because probably some of them you are not going to want to do anything about. Feel free to clone new issues from this one if you find it helpful.

Upgrading from 0.7.4 to 0.9.0, I have the following complaints:

• #202 still a problem: all sessions reverted to “default” profile
• After logging in, I continually get t.expired is not a function error
• I really do not like that it now requires 2 clicks to log in or log out. Even worse, if the session is at the bottom of the list, then to log in requires a click to bring up the pop-up menu, then a mouse reposition to find the “Start Session” menu, then another click. Logging in and logging out is the most used function, so the UI should be optimized for it. They should be very easy 1-click operations.
• While the sort and search features are nice, I would still prefer the ability to manually set the unsorted order of sessions. Review how the Netflix DVD queue works for a good example of how to present the UI for this. For implementation help, see this example from Draggable or this example using the table drag and drop plugin for jQuery.
• Similarly, I would like to be able to control which sessions show up in the Leapp menu (from the menu bar) and in what order, preferably separately from the order they are displayed in the main window. Right now it is in some order I do not recognize, and the sessions I want to use most often are not in the list. Pinning a session in the main window does not seem to affect the order of the menu either.
• It remains an issue that if I log into a session from the bottom of the list (where the top of the list has scrolled out of view), I do not see the results of the session logging in automatically. I think there should be a fixed frame at the top of the window that shows logged in (and maybe recently logged out) sessions.

Same here, the t.expired is not a function really hinders the usability, since it buries all the bottom buttons.
