Hi, please have a look at the current state of QA_4_0. I encouraged Atul to merge his implementation for RFE 1435 and he did some other improvements to the navi panel.
I plan to release 4.0.6-rc1 tomorrow with these changes.
Looks good and your plan sounds good.
From the user feedback, I think there is still room for improvement here, but as it's not inconvenient for me personally it's difficult for me to say how exactly it can be improved. It works well for me.
An improvement that can added is opening databases when they are grouped
(possibly a couple of levels down) by the database name prefix. This does not seem to be handled in the current implementation.
In the meantime I happened to implement a similar feature request [1] as part of my GSoC work and submit a pull request [2]. What it does is,
1. When the user is in the database level, current database is highlighted in the navigation panel. If the database is grouped under a database group the groups is opened to highlight the database.
2. When the user is in the table/view level, current table/view is highlighted in the navigation panel. Following situations are handled here. a. Tables/views could be directly under the database or inside 'Tables'/'Views' containers. b. Tables/views could be grouped based on their names. c. A combination of the above two.
