Hi
I was (manually) checking dependencies on ONE Support Launchpad to apply a specific note, but that had too many dependencies so I tried my luck with Notes Dependency Browser. Right after opening it I got message "Due to the number of Prerequisites Notes being too large, they cannot be displayed completely.", which I expected since this note had multiple and different dependencies for each SP level.
I then applied "Filter by system" with our own, message about too many dependencies was still there (shoudn't happen because we have a fairly recent SP) and what is worse: the only note (and its dependencies) displaying now is for a old SP version, i.e. it only displayed non-relevant dependecies for my system. It looks that is checking only Release level and completely ignoring Support Package level. Typing the correct note in secondary search field to drilldown into correct dependency branch does nothing, so I had to open that note at new window and click to check its dependency. I received again "Due to the number of Prerequisites Notes being too large, they cannot be displayed completely." because that dependency also have multiple dependencies, this is not productive.
System software data displayed One Support matches our system data, so Support Launchpad knows our SP level. I don't get what is the purpose of system filter if it won't consider all system details to filter relevant dependencies.
The note in question is 2936181 (already a dependency for another note). Here is a print of its dependency graph (scaled down to 5%) for delight of electronic schematics lovers.

(I know that I can use report SCWN_PREREQUISITE_CALC_SWI to check dependencies AFTER downloading note into system, but I still want to check them beforehand. I also know that ABAP Development tag is somewhat incorrect, but is possible the group with better know-how for a feedback).
Any feedback about something that I am missing of this application, or any alternative to automatically check dependencies before download/implementation phase is appreciated.
