Hi Colin,
Thanks for the feedback. I have also pgAdmin III installed on my Windows 7 workstation and I can observe there the exact behaviour that you are explaining:
- add favorite remains greyed out until there is actually something in the query box to save
- manage favs remains greyed out until there is something to manage
But on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop, the ‘Add favourite…’ and ‘Manage favourites…’ are greyed out all the time.
I have text entered in the query box and the ‘Add favourite…’ is still grey.
Regards,
Vahdet

Hi PGAdmin Support,
On 2 Sep, I sent message to
pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org asking for help with PgAdmin Query Tool Favorites. I havent received any reply and I hope this group will be more helpful:
Bug reference: 13605
Logged by: Vahdet Mert
Email address:
vahdet.mert@hotmail.com PostgreSQL version: 9.3.9
Operating system: ubuntu 14.04
Description:
I use pgAdmin extensively but cannot get the Query Tool favorites to work.
The Add Favourite and Manage Favourite menu options are greyed out.
I have a valid .pgadminfavorites xml file as I can edit the xml directly and
see the resulting favorites queries under the Favorites menu. But I just
cannot add new favorites or manage existing through the pgadmin interface.
Running Ubuntu 14.04 and pgAdmin 1.18.1
Thanks,
Vahdet
As feedback, works for me. I'm on openSUSE 13.2 latest pgadmin and I can save and retrieve queries. Note that the add favorite remains greyed out until there is actually something in the query box to save. As soon as a query is saved as a favourite, when you click the menu item the fav appears at the bottom of the list of options and a click on that brings it back. Manage favs remains greyed out until there is something to manage.
