Hi, I just tried Aris's new feature: grid editing (or Edit mode). A few things are not ready, for example ENUM, SET and TEXT editing; however I feel that with this, we won't need inline edit (for rows) any more.
Hi Marc and all,
Yes, it is still not complete yet. I'm still working on adding support for different data types and fixing bugs. Things I've noticed:
- the feature still does not work well with inline edit
Don't you think that this feature should replace inline edit?
IMO yes, it should replace inline edit. I stated it above to make sure everyone who want to test it know that current version is not working well with inline edit.
- there is still a problem with data transformation - make grid
editing available to those table cell which doesn't have .inline_edit class (e.g., TEXT)
I also planned to add an option to turn on/off "ask before
saving".
Besides these things, the UI and editing mode can be tested in [0]. Any feedback or comment is really appreciated.
Saving is done by clicking outside the cell, right? But it's not explained, should it be?
Also, if we compare with a spreadsheet program, saving is not done when exiting a cell, it's done by an explicit click (for example on a Disk button). The user might want to change many columns before saving.
Great. I think it's good to have the feature to save all edited columns at once.
I'm also wondering about the "Edit mode". Why not just enter edit when someone clicks on data? I know that, currently, clicking on data produces row marking and ticks the checkbox, but this could be improved. After all, the most probable intention from a user (with a spreadsheet knowledge) clicking on data is to edit it.
When I made this "Edit mode", I was thinking about clicking data with a link, for example foreign key in InnoDb table. We may expect to go to the data associated with the foreign value when clicking the link, don't we?
