Filtering Has Been Annoying For Sometime

[mick]

Although it is useful feature, it has been really annoying to to use. Everytime I start typing table name in filter column, it auto completes the WRONG table name. For example, our table names start with tbl_, I type tbl_a…, I am still typing but it will pick and auto complete the table name that matches with tbl_a.

 

To elaborate more,

 

I type,   tbl_u

it guesses tbl_user

I am trying for tbl_utility

I end up typing, tbl_usertility

 

Is it just me?

 

I am using SQLyog ultimate – 11.41 (64 bit)

 

Thank you

I understand that you are referring to the filter in Object Browser? Please confirm.

 

It will display the first match (alphabetically) and I don’t think there is any change in this respect for the very beginning where we introduced this. 

 

I realize that this is inconsistent with the behavior of auto-complete in the editor (where a match will only display when there is only one possible match). I think for most users current behavior is convenient, but if you have a lot of database objects in same level named with same initial letters (mydb1, mydb2, mydb3 etc.) you may experience what you describe.

 

Personally I agree that this could be implemented better.  I have added an issue in our issuetracker at https://code.google.com/p/sqlyog/issues/detail?id=2037. We will discuss this.

Yes, it is object browser. Thank you for adding it to issue tracker.
