Renaming of query tab

[expired user #6606]'s profile image [expired user #6606] posted 11 years ago in Feature discussion Permalink

In Heidi new query tab are automatically named viz query1,query2... queryN . This tab names cannot be renamed by the user now.If you have lots of tabs then its very difficult to find a specific query. It will be a great feature if the user can rename the tabs.

Thanks

If you work on some hard problem you will probably forget exact query contents even if you give it some specific name. But whithin a short time period naming your quiries can be very helpful.

This is great. Could you also do so that name of tab will automatically be substituted to name of file in saving dialog window?

heidi-auto-name-file heidi-auto-name-file

The main issue was with results tab naming.

heidi-name-results-tab heidi-name-results-tab

The query tab caption is now taken as the default filename for the save-as dialog. (see next build)

The result tabs were not meant here - that's a different topic.

Thanks. I cought something that look like a bug. I pressed a shortcut for "Rename tab" command, renamed a tab, then saved tab. Then switched to another tab and pressed same shortcut for rename another tab. And here is a strange thing - Heidi thinks that this is tab that was previosly renamed. But if I mouse right click current tab and click "rename tab" then everything works as expected. Would be great if keyboard shortcut "Rename tab" will affect currently active tab and not previous.

Oh and one more interesting thing. After tab is renamed to <TABNAME> and is saved into sql file on disk its name in Heidi is changed to <TABNAME>.sql. Then if again rename tab to just <TABNAME> saving works without append ".sql" to name. Not sure if this is something to be fixid or leave as it is.
