I don't want to be rude, but maybe no one has used this feature due bugs
appearing from time to time. pgAdmin is full of inconsistent resolutions
established for over 10 years (in case of requesters, some appears even
if are not needed at all why in other places there is no any attempt to
confirm action). But this is not a reason to stay with it for next 10.
It is quite clear that reported lack of confirmation, opens a way to
lose the work. I have feeling that even you agree with this. So why the
hell do not agree to improve it? You can even make it optional. I
believe adding another checkbox to options tab is not impossible mission
(sorry but some answers sounds like this)
Thanx for the patch. It's presence proving that this feature is needed.
However there are 2 issues:
- most of pgAdmin users don't want to maintain own fork of pgadmin,
recompile any new version applying patches etc
- as you noted, the behavior is not quite correct. Confirmation should
appear when value of any single form item has been changed (doesn't
matter if dialog is happy with it or not). I believe it is not hard to
implement such checking for any window.
with regards.
