Show Serial Number in client list

Please show the Serial Number in the VH Client, so that multiple devices of the same type can be distinguished.

I have a number of development boards that have on-board SEGGER J-Link debug chips. They all show up as J-Link in the Client so it's not easy to tell which one I need to use.

I notice there is a property option (right-click drop-down) and it shows all the details.

Maybe have a user preference where some of those fields can be shown in the main line item in the Client. e.g. Manfacturer, Serial Number, etc. I guess there's no reason to exclude any of the items listed in properties dialog and the user can select what suits them best.

Examples:
J-Link [Vendor: SEGGER, Serial Number: 000680823051] (In use by you)
J-Link, SEGGER, 000680823051 (In use by you)
J-Link -- SEGGER -- 000680823051 (In use by you)
J-Link -- Vendor: SEGGER -- Serial Number: 000680823051 (In use by you)

Another option would be to display the properties info in a Tool Tip when hovering above the name.

Thanks, Brendan.

I would recommend just renaming the device in the client there is no need to display the serial number. Name it e.g

SEGGER 1
SEGGER 2
SEGGER 3

etc

Just right click on the device and select "Rename", in fact you can just put the serial number in directly as the new name
