Re: Usability improvment ideas

One other thing...

For me, I have had this issue for a very long time:

If I am using pgadmin and it looses it's connection to the server, asking it to re connect always fails, and I have to kill the app and restart.

In a case where there is no nat or firewall between me and the server, this never seems to be a problem.

However, where there are nats or firewalls, it seems like the connection gets terminated somewhere, and pgadmin just does not do a good job of reconnecting.

It's the main rough spot for me.

Regards,
Peter.

Just an observation..... :)

With the 1.14 stream of pgadmin3, I notice that the dialog for creation of columns moves the type to a different tab than the name, requiring much more work to create the columns.

Is there a reason why this was done? The old way seemed to work nicer for me - ie: most of the needed bits were all on one tab to quickly add a column, go to other tabs only if needed.

Regards,
Peter.

pgAdmin already does that (though, with F5, not F9).
