Обсуждение: minor annoyances...
Hi there, here are some things that occasionally bug me a bit about pgadmin 1.10.2: 1. In the main window i have a number of servers in the left pane of the object browser. Now, if I click on the wrong one,and I don't have a network-connection to it, there is no way to tell pgadmin to stop trying to connect to it. Or is theresome way to set the timeout? It's too long for my purposes. 2. Very often I have the main window buried under many sql query windows. A menu shortcut (command 1?) to push the main windowto the front (and a way that would allow me to cycle through all open windows - command 2,3 etc)) would be highly appreciated. 3. I'm on Mac OS X, and having to use command-q instead of command w to close a window is not exactly what a mac user expects. Thank you for this great tool and happy easter, Maximilian Tyrtania
I suggest very, very strongly that those who use and admire pgAdmin read through the documentation for psql (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/app-psql.html ), the command line client for postgres and also click on the Plugins menu of pgAdmin to launch the psql Console to try it out. A great deal of what can be done with pgAdmin can be done with psql, and, in my opinion, it can be done more smoothly and efficiently. pgAdmin is extraordinary. It, for example, is considerably better than Squirrel. But what Squirrel does, and what pgAdmin does to some extent, is create approximate UML diagrams of tables in a database. That is extremely useful. John Appendix: The interaction between vim and psql is extraordinary. One can open a psql session in vim (much preferable to opening vim in psql IMHO) and do whatever you want to do with innumerable other vim windows and tabs available containing anything you wish (using MacVim on the Mac, you can easily have 32 different windows open simultaneously that are trivially easy to navigate between without having your hands leave the keyboard) On Apr 3, 2010, at 7:07 AM, Maximilian Tyrtania wrote: > Hi there, > > here are some things that occasionally bug me a bit about pgadmin > 1.10.2: > > 1.

Hi Guillaume, >> 1. In the main window i have a number of servers in the left pane of the object browser. Now, if I click on the wrongone, and I don't have a network-connection to it, there is no way to tell pgadmin to stop trying to connect to it. Oris there some way to set the timeout? It's too long for my purposes. >> > > You need to double click to open the connection. And AFAICT, you have no > way to set a timeout. Okay, thanks. >> 2. Very often I have the main window buried under many sql query windows. A menu shortcut (command 1?) to push the mainwindow to the front (and a way that would allow me to cycle through all open windows - command 2,3 etc)) would be highlyappreciated. >> > I think it would be difficult to remember which number you're supposed > to hit to get to a specific query tool. I suggested the command-n scheme just because that's what the Mac OS Terminal does. It also allows me to cycle through windows(command <,>). And if command-1 would always push the main window to the front, well, that'd be just handy. I justwatch myself having to use the mouse to go to the window menu more often than i would like to. > Why don't you use Ctrl-Tab or > Alt-Tab (whatever it is on your OS) to get to the window you want to use? Neither of these work on Mac OS 10.6.3. What you can do is hit F10 and then use < or > to cycle through the open windows. But that displays all open pg admin windows...toomuch action on the screen. > >> 3.

My copy of pgadmin 1.10.2 (rev. 8217) still works with ctrl-q only. Best wishes from Berlin, Maximilian Tyrtania
