When changing a filter value delay the application of the new value on
the table for a couple of milliseconds. This makes the filter process
much smoother for fast typing users working on large tables.
See issue #415.
See issue #408.
This isn't working reliably yet on my system: If you enable the fix
restoring the previous settings when going back to a table doesn't work
and if you disable it that very way is the only way to change the
option. Don't know what's going on there :(
This is a proof-of-concept or even a basic first implementation of a new
feature I'd like to have in DB4S which at the moment I call display
formats.
The idea here is to allow the user to change the data in the Browse Data
tab on a per column basis before displaying it. This means even though
the data is stored in format X in the database it can be shown in format
Y in the browser. This should be useful in cases where the original
format X is hard to read or just not useful in a particular case.
This first implementation allows the user to right click on the header
of a column and open a new dialog for setting the display format which
offers a (limited) list of pre-defined formats. The selected format is
then integrated into the SELECT statement which is sent to SQLite.
While it works, this draft implementation lacks a number of features.
Here are the most prominent ones I'm currently aware of:
* Data not editable (or only via the Edit Dialog) because it isn't
transformed back yet.
* More display formats needed; maybe customizable ones, too.
* No indication in the UI for which columns a format has been set.
* Could _maybe_ be integrated into the import/export etc. for optional
use.
When changing the table in the Browse Data tab we used to remember the
column widths for that particular table. When changing the tab and then
coming back or when pressing the refresh button we used to save the
filters (but not for a table change). The sort order wasn't remembered
at all. I think this behaviour doesn't make any sense.
With this patch we remember column widths, sort order and filter values
for each table individually and restore it when the user switches back to
the table. All the settings are handled the same way and as much
information as possible is stored. It gets also saved in our project
file format.
Add a tooltip to the database browser when you hover a cell with a
foreign key set in order to show the referenced table and column.
When clicking on such a cell while holding the Ctrl and Shift key (only
one of them won't work because they are for multiselection and Alt
doesn't do the trick on my system because it's just for grabbing and
moving the window) try to jump to the table and row which is referenced
in the clicked cell.
See issue #192.
Move the FilterTableHeader object from the MainWindow to the
ExtendedTableWidget class because it actually is a part of the latter,
not the former.
Show sort order arrows in the table header of the Browse Data tab after
clicking it.
Add a row of line edits between the table header and the actual content
of the table in the browse tab. Show one input widget per table column
in this row.
Add a live search which hides any table rows which do not fit to the
current filter settings.
Why add this to the parital-data-fetch branch? Because this is an
attempt to get rid of the find dialog which is broken again and not even
worth fixing. Also there is not much to break in this branch at the
moment ;)
