EDBManager & Favourites |

Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate | I know you have the ability to have EDBManager remember its state but being an awkward cuss I don't find it very Roy friendly. Hows about a favourites menu.
What I'd like to see is the ability to store database or table. If I then click a table EDBManager opens the session, opens the database and opens the table. Naturally iI I then click a database EDBManager opens the session, and opens the database. I tend to work on a single aspect at a time, and as an example I'm currently working on configuration maintenance and control (my app not tables or databases) and when I open EDBManager I'm generally going to want to open one of two tables initially. I don't want to have the mess I've made of it with a slack handful of queries, open tables etc. I constantly find myself: open EDBManager click on TfR (session) click on databases click on NLH (database) click on tables click on Config (or ColourSchemes) click on open table It would be soooo much nicer to open EDBManager click on Favourites (even if spelt in your version of English slide to Config and click Roy Lambert |

<< I know you have the ability to have EDBManager remember its state but being an awkward cuss I don't find it very Roy friendly.

From your brief description it doesn't sound anything resembling what I was suggesting. Roy Lambert |

<< From your brief description it doesn't sound anything resembling what I was suggesting. >> Please elaborate then, because your initial description really didn't get around to exactly what constituted a "favorite". I assumed that it was the initial open table(s), database(s), etc. that are open before you start to work with queries, etc. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

>Please elaborate then, because your initial description really didn't get >around to exactly what constituted a "favorite". I assumed that it was the >initial open table(s), database(s), etc. that are open before you start to >work with queries, etc. OK, think of the Favorites menu in a web browser, what I was thinking about was something along those lines with the ability to add an object (session, database, table) to it and when clicked on have ElevateDB open the necessary stuff in the background. eg Two session A and B In Session A databases 1, 2 and 3 In Session A database 1 tables a, b, c In Session B databases 1,7 and 9 In Session B database 1 table q, x, y In Session B database 7 table b, f I'd like to be able to add B7b and database A1 and session A to favourites If I click on A EDBManager opens session A - that's it If I click on table B7b EDBManager opens session B, opens database 7, opens table b If I clicked A1, then clicked B7b I'd end up with database 1 in session A open and table b in database 7 in session B open. Call it shortcuts, fast open links or favourites. Possibly even limit the number allowed (stop it getting into the same mess as my internet favourites). I'd be happy with 4 of these sort of links Hope that gives you a better idea. Essentially what I'm looking for is a way to get to the bit I'm working on as fast and simply as possible with the fewest number of actions (clicks or keystrokes) from me. Roy Lambert |
