Hello,
One part of RFE for Page-related settings says the following. "There are also other ways to set options. In Browse, we have Options, and other remembered settings like column visibility, column sorting and order of display. I am not sure if these mechanisms should be integrated or not to the new way."
I've been thinking about this and now I am confused about its usefulness and implementation. Here is what I think.
These kind of options are accessible directly from where they are used. For example, column sorting is just clicking on the column header. Which is intuitive enough and easily accessible. I don't think we need another place to manage those. IMHO, it would be just useless.
Since, these settings are integrated in UI, to have their other not-integrated form seems a little difficult. For example, multiple column sorting is easily shown in the header of table with priority numbers, but to have it somewhere else, we'll have to think of some other form to show and edit this settings.
The type and UI will be quite different for each such option. We can't unify them that easily.
Also, sometimes, they are location specific even in one page, so having them in a global page settings doesn't make much sense. To overcome this, we can multiple instances of settings in the page, but that would be just as same as existing techniques.
Any thoughts about this are much appreciated. Should we do this? How should we do this? What settings can possibly be added?
Sorry for a long mail, but I'm a little confused and would like some help.
Thanks, Nisarg

Agreed.

Right. So the page-related settings should not be specific to one item (column, table, database, etc). For example, setting a column's visibility or hiding/unhiding a table should not be in the page-related settings.
However, in table Browse, I should be able to access Settings > Main panel > Browse mode.

Yeah, those are global configuration options and will be available there.

So, do we drop this part of the RFE? Any other thoughts? Anyone else?

This part of the RFE was more a question to see the scope of the page-related settings; I believe that this question is now settled and we can drop it.
