Sqlyog 4.10 Interface Faults

[peterlaursen]

Reorder Columns

The “Reorder…” button should just be “Reorder”. A new window does not open when you click the button, therefore it should not have “…”

>>> I disagree. and a new window DOES open here!

Also, can this window be resizable or made bigger? It can be more tedious than it should be when reordering tables with numerous columns.

>>> I agree. Ritesh knows very well that I think that most dialogue boxes in SQLyog are too small. Especillay when you have very long names and dozens of colums.

Renaming a Connection

Rename a connection and in the Saved Connections drop down there becomes an item: (Select an existing connection…). Is this necessary? It seems to only appear when you rename a connection.

If you rename a connection with: eg. “!MeFirst” to cause it to become at the top of the list, the (Select an existing connection…) becomes the second item in the dropdown.

>>> I am not sure that I understand this! you can rename a connection by pressing the “…”-button next the the drop-down that displays the name.

Export SQL Syntax

Is there a reason for two spaces after PRIMARY KEY?

(Also displays in table Objects tab.)

>> I guess that is what SQLyog recieves from MySQL. You can have thousands of spaces and linefeeds if you want 😀

Yes, a confirmation alert box. However, the Reorder… button processes the action, much the way an OK button works. There is no way to cancel beyond that point. Making the “…” unintuitive.

>>> I am not sure that I understand this! you can rename a connection by pressing the “…”-button next the the drop-down that displays the name.

Please re-read my original post. Try this:

– Rename an existing connection (Yes, press the “…” button)

– Enter a new name and click OK (Try: “! abc”)

– Click the drop down

– (Select an existing connection…) is now in the drop down – was not there before.

Yes this is very minor and causes no problems. But for interface experience and trust in the GUI, such a technical issue should not occur.

two things then …

1) I thought you were talking about the “reorder colums” in the table context-menu. This should stay “reorder colums” an not only “reorder”. I don't mind the 3 dots in the dialogue box myself … (here they go again 😛 )

2) The problem is I believe that “!” is alphabetically before “normal alphanumerics” (numbers and letters) and also before “(“. Well yes, that is a small code bug!

[Ritesh]

We basically sort the connection names in the combo box. Thus a name starting with ! is coming at the top.

I guess this is a bug and we will fix it in v4.2.

@ritesh

I don't think you got the point ?!
