Enhancement Requests

Hello

I'm working with PgAdmin III, and it's really a great tool.
During my work with it, if found some points, where you could enhance
the tool. At least I've found nothing in docs, when it's already
implemented.

1. It would by nice, when the editing window for function and triggers
have a line number on the left side. It would help to find errors when
you get an message like:

CONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function "X" line 40 at SQL statement
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "X" at character 1

2. Make an option where you can define the size of the editing window.
Currently I'm in the process to migrate a database from Oracle to
PostgreSQL. So I have a lot of triggers and functions which need
changes. So I'm always forced to open the window, click the tab and
resize the window, because it's default is to small.

3. I've found a translation bug in the german version (1.1.0 Devel/Win).
In the Sequences window, the english text "current value" is translated
as "Aktuelles Passwort" (actual password). Just to beautify it ;-)

Regards

Dieter

I don't know if the Scintilla control we're using supports line numbers, 
but it's certainly a good idea. If this is not possible, we should show 
the cursor position in the status line. Or only status line, because 
this saves space.

About a week ago I committed a change which implements pgAdmin3 to 
remember previous dialog positions. This should be what you'd like.

Fixed, Danke.
