Re: [pgAdmin][RM3782] Debugger title should show connection andobject details - Mailing list pgadmin-hackers

FWIW:

• +1 for INDEPENDENTLY configurable tab title AND tooltip
• I agree that in-place edit of tabs cost/benefit isn't there, unless someone wants a personal free-time project

Hi Hackers,

Attached is the patch to add more information on connection details to debugger panel title and content title similar to Query Tool and View/Edit data.

Adding the object name with arguments is not a good idea for the panel title, so I have kept to connection details similar to query tool. The content title will have all the details.

Kindly review.

I think not having the function name in there is a big limitation.

With all this hacking going on, I think what we need to do is stop and make this configurable as has been both requested by users and suggested by us.

I propose adding 2 preference options for each tab type. Each of these would be a string with placeholders, one for the tab title, and one for the tab tooltip. For example:

- Query Tool

  * Placeholders: %DATABASE%, %SERVER%, %USERNAME%, %PORT%, %HOST%

  * Tab title default: %DATABASE% on %SERVER%

  * Tooltip title default: Query Tool: %DATABASE% on %USERNAME%@%SERVER%

- View Data

  * Placeholders: %TABLE%, %SCHEMA%, %DATABASE%, %SERVER%, %USERNAME%, %PORT%, %HOST%

  * Tab title default: %SCHEMA%.%TABLE% in %DATABASE% on %SERVER%

  * Tooltip title default: View/Edit Data: %SCHEMA%.%TABLE% in %DATABASE% on %USERNAME%@%SERVER%

- Script

  * Placeholders: %ACTION%, %OBJECT%, %SCHEMA%, %DATABASE%, %SERVER%, %USERNAME%, %PORT%, %HOST%

  * Tab title default: %ACTION% %SCHEMA%.%OBJECT% in %DATABASE% on %SERVER%

  * Tooltip title default: %ACTION% Script: %SCHEMA%.%OBJECT% in %DATABASE% on %USERNAME%@%SERVER%

- Debugger

  * Placeholders: %FUNCTION_ARGS%, %FUNCTION_NOARGS%, %SCHEMA%, %DATABASE%, %SERVER%, %USERNAME%, %PORT%, %HOST%

  * Tab title default: %FUNCTION_NOARGS%.%OBJECT% in %DATABASE% on %SERVER%

  * Tooltip title default: Debugger: %SCHEMA%.%FUNCTION_ARGS% in %DATABASE% on %USERNAME%@%SERVER%

Or something like that. Thoughts?

Yes, this could be a nice feature. I think tooltip title customisation is not needed, we can just set it as  prefix + tab title.

I think having it be separate is useful - you can include full information there, but keep the tab minimal so as not to create huge tabs. For example, the debugger tab could just be set to %FUNCTION_NOARGS%, whilst the tooltip has the full string.

 

Some users asked for in-place rename of tab title. I'm not sure if it is feasible to implement, but should we consider it also ?

No - I've only seen one request for that, and it seems like a lot of work for little gain.
