Thread: location of query favourites.xml
Dear PgAdmin,
I'm using version 1.10 beta 3 and loving it! A niggle though - I would like to be able to set the location of pgadmin_favourites.xml and pgadmin_macros.xml in preferences. I create favourites and I would like them to be saved to a shared folder where others will find them.
Many thanks,
Nick

Sorry for the delay for you to get an answer :) That could be an interesting feature, and a quite simple one to add. But I wonder if you can't already do this with a symbolic link.

Hi Guillaume, Good point - I recently moved from XP to Win7 so can use mklink /H which works just fine. Many thanks for the tip. Would be worth building the choice in when you get the time. " While fixing a bug..." does that mean there is another beta release coming up? ;-) Nick -----Original Message----- From: Guillaume Lelarge [mailto:guillaume@lelarge.info] Sent: 23 January 2010 09:39 To: Nick Kitson Cc: pgadmin-hackers@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [pgadmin-hackers] location of query favourites.xml Le 10/06/2009 18:08, Nick Kitson a écrit : > [...] > I'm using version 1.10 beta 3 and loving it!

Here is a preliminary patch, that allows a user to change the filename and path for the favourites file and the macros file. It needs some more work, when the patch for ticket 93 (history for queries) will be commited. But comments are welcomed :) -- Guillaume. http://www.postgresqlfr.org http://dalibo.com

Hi Guillaume, I can see diff information in the patch but it has been many years since I compiled applications. Is there any way you could get me a pgadmin3.exe (I use both linux and windows but my need to share my favourites is in the windows environment) and I would be very happy to comment!

As long as you build against the same runtime version, it should be fine. Otherwise Nick will need to get the right version from microsoft.com/downloads -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

I'll apply this patch and two other ones (#93 and #102) tomorrow if no-one objects to before. -- Guillaume. http://www.postgresqlfr.org http://dalibo.com
