Thread: Server status button
Hi, I wonder if we should replace the "View filtered data" button on the main tool bar with one for opening the the server status monitor? We already have a View Data button, and the server status tool is pretty comprehensive now, yet remains tucked away on a menu. Thoughts? -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

The only issue is to design a good icon. And if we find someone with such skills, we should probably ask him to design the ones I did. -- Guillaume http://www.postgresql.fr http://dalibo.com

Do you mean the button "Apply a filter and view the data ..." - the icon with the funnel? I use that one a lot, actually. Also, it is very useful if I want to instruct causal users to use a filter. So I am against removing it. There are not that many buttons in the main toolbar yet, so we could just add the server status button? Regards Erwin

That particular button is an odd case as it's the only instance where we have two buttons for the same tool. There's nothing to say we *must* remove it though. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
