Hi there!
I think the new release of phpmyadmin is great, apart from the fact that
my
laptop only runs at 800x600 and the new screen format with the extra type column in the edit screen pushes the display way off to the right. This means that if I edit data using phpmyadmin, I can't see what the field
names
are.
This is obviously a problem for me, and will be a major pain in the butt.
Is
it possible in the next version to turn this feature off? I'm not sure why it was added, because I know what the fields I created were, and don't consider being reminded of them necessary. Anyway, basically I can't see field names when I edit, which makes it silly to use for this purpose.
My colleague thinks I'm in the minority on this, but what can I do? I've
got
an 800x600 laptop, and I'm not going to upgrade for the sake of
fieldnames.
Unfortunately my colleague isn't about to deinstall it, so I'm stuck with it.
I'm sorry if I sound a bit miffed. I think phpmyadmin is a great piece of software, and I use it all the time! That's basically why I'm annoyed - because it's now a lot trickier to use!
Maybe there's an option somewhere to turn this off in the code for it?
I've
not looked at the source code before, but I could probably switch it off given a general direction.
Can you help?
Best wishes, Rob Galbraith.
