Expand rows height like in Airtable

Hello,

I store long content in MySQL using HeidiSQL. For me, using HeidiSQL is almost like a no-code app. However, when storing long content (paragraphs), it displays only the first line in the cell.

I would like to be able to set up a row's "height/lines" for each table, so it would allow me to read the long content more easily, exactly like Airtable is doing (can setup up to 5/6 lines, note that they also support new line when displaying).

I would like this setting to be saved for each table, like the sort setting, so when I go back to this table, it keeps displaying as per the settings.

If you can't code it, please contact me, maybe I can code it for you.

This is great! Thanks!

But is it also possible to add an option to horizontally align values to the top of the cell (for fields with only one line of content)?

And to add a system to save by table? I would like to change this value only on some tables and save it, like the order-by temporary memory.

VirtualTree has a NodeAlignment property, which I just set testwise to naFromTop, but that does nothing for the content. I guess it's meant for something else, not sure.

For the per-table thing you can create a ticket in the tracker. To be honest, that whole multi-line stuff in grids already caused severe performance issues, so I can't promise to do something here.
