Simon 5 is coming soon!
Simon version 5 is currently in beta testing. It is a massive update, introducing a much-requested feature: syncing the Simon data between multiple Macs, plus a Simon Status service, a Link Checker filter, improved Find filter, iMessage and Speak Error notifiers, a new app icon, and much more.
Important: please note that Simon 5 requires a minimum of macOS 10.12 (Sierra), and will be a paid upgrade from Simon 4 after the beta. Purchasers since September 1, 2020 automatically get a version 5 license (that also works in previous versions).
Re: Feature request: test folders or groups
Hi,
Groups is a popular request, and something that is definitely coming in a future version (after 2.6). My current plan is to implement it much like iTunes' playlists, where you can have manual and smart groups in a source list sidebar, and add tests to any number of groups.
The groups would likely have collection behaviors, e.g. only notifying of a failure once for all tests in the group, not checking other tests if one fails, etc (configurable). Though that could be tricky if a test is in multiple groups.
I certainly welcome feedback about the best way to implement this.
