Hi Aditya/Hackers

Are the above changes looks good? 

Well, s/Global/Default, but otherwise that, and the other UI is fine.

However, that does mean the path needs to be set for every server (and keep in mind, I know some users of this code have hundreds registered), and it also means that we cannot pre-configure the paths in, for example, our container.

I'd prefer to see all the configuration in Preferences, so we'd maybe have a grid instead of a text field, containing three columns, one with the major version number, and one with the path to use for that version. The third column would be a radio button to mark a particular path as the default to use in case another path isn't set.

Hi Akshay,

Just to make it more discoverable, please also change the help text in Preferences dialog.

Hi Dave/Hackers

I have implemented feature #5370 "User should be able to set the binary path for each database server." I have added "Utility path" control in the Advanced tab of the server dialog, refer to the image below:

                         

If the above path is set by the user then will pick that else we will pick the default binary path of the preferences dialog (if set). In case utility is not found on the specified path we raise the popup dialog with the modified error message. 

                         

If the above implementation looks good then, I'll commit this feature by today's EOD.
