In a comment to issue #598, @sparkacus suggested two additional parameters for creating/updating favorites:

  • save_in_keychain (whether to save the password in the keychain or not)
  • color

@jakob we have over 60 engineers in our organization, many of whom are using Postico daily. Right now it is very tedious to get a set of 24-hr vault credentials, navigate the circuitous path to determining the actual database name and cluster upon which it resides, and so on.

It would be an immense help to color-code favorites upon creation, I am thinking green for prestaging, yellow for staging, and red for production so that people do not mistakenly perform a action in production when they think there are logged in elsewhere.

As more of a stretch it would be nice to have the above and in addition have some way to simultaneously express another dimension, specifically whether the connection is reader, writer, admin or superuser. I wouldn't consider it worth delaying simple color implementation though. For now I can put that in the nickname but I would love a way to make it more visible.
