Connections sidebar ux

Open D-nov opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

The name of the connections is awesome idea to make them more destinguishable, but seeing 8 characters only is a bit limiting then you have 5 connections all starting with the same name i.e:

  • panda app - dev
  • panda app - local
  • panda app - whatever So in the sidebar you only see "panda app" 5 times.

Expected result: 1- I'm resuggesting my previous request to introduce custom icons (instead of db mascot) and colors (default, green, red and blue maybe?) even if they are in a predefined list 2- expand the sidebar to fit more characters (maybe 12?)

I would suggest to add a "labels system" too, like table plus does.

Further changes would take Antares away from its core concepts.
Right now it seems to me enough to distinguish visible connections. If you have given all connections the same prefix you can always change it, or pin them and put them in the order you prefer. If the connections become many just press CTRL+SHIFT+Space to open the window for global search of connections.
No other changes to the current system are planned at this time.

The latest update introduced folders, custom icons for connections, and a few other tools to better manage connections.
