I apologize for my directness but the newly implemented 'Create table' Dialog has an awful usability.
Tyron, thanks for your post. There are two issues here:
the AJAX create table dialog
the ENUM/SET editor
and they should be discussed separately.
About 1, I am wondering if AJAXification was an advantage here. See also the discussion on 2011-04-08 "Issues with AJAX" on this list. I suggested a mechanism to hide most form fields by default.
Thanks, I've read through the conversation. I would agree on hiding rarely used fields like "Browser transformation,Transformation options,MIME type" but otherwise such feature in my opinion would only decrease usability. Hiding most form fields maybe fixes the problem, but it doesn't fix the cause.
I don't think an ajax dialog for 'create table' is inherently worse. It could actually be significantly better if for example the dialog could span over the left frame as well, giving more editing space than the old style create table page.
