In phpMyAdmin 3.3 most of the export settings were visible in one page without scrolling, hence requiring only very few clicks to export what you need. But in 3.4 when I try to export the table structure I first need to click '(o) custom' then scroll down and search through all the text where in order to find where I select '(o) structure'. It feels very unintuitive for me.
What about: a) We put all the settings in jquery tabs b) On the first tab will be the most used options: Format, Output type (File / as Text) and what to dump (2 checkboxes for each data and structure)
The current state is based on last year GSoC project and I usually hear positive feedback about it. Most people really don't need the options, so choosing the format is the only thing they want to care about.
Of course advanced options could be hidden by some other mean, but I don't think tabs really fit this case, because you would have to change number of tabs based on selection of format and I think this would be unintuitive.
Yes, indeed. I didn't see the format specific settings at first. However, the same applies to the current solution. Here we have regions of settings appearing and disappearing.
Maybe alternatively to tabs the selection 'Quick - display only the minimal options' should show not only the format, but also 1-2 of the most commonly used settings (depending on the current format selection)? That way it would still be minimal, but covering a greater amount of export cases.
