[Phpmyadmin-devel] Export tab (lirilee fork)

Hi, Because Export forms are more or less finished, I wanted to share some my thoughts on it. It takes up too much vertical space. How about displaying it in two columns: Table(s) and Output in one, Format and Format-Specific Options in the other? I would like to always have Table(s) and Output shown, but form height right now annoys me more :) Is there an option in the $cfg array to have "Custom" checked by default? I would like to see something like that: $cfg['Export']['form_type'] = 'quick'; // custom, custom-no-form (like custom but Export Method is never displayed) -- Piotr Przybylski

Hi, Can you elaborate more on what exactly it is about the large height that bothers you? There is currently no option in the $cfg array to have it Custom by default but I can make one. On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 3:07 AM, Piotr Przybylski <piotr.prz@gmail.com>wrote:

Hi,

Whan I select Custom I have to scroll two screens down to reach the "Go" button, compared with half in current version. At least for me, it makes everything look more complicated. On 1280x800 screen I have a lot of free space on the right side of the screen. I think large margins contribute to that even more.
There is currently no option in the $cfg array to have it Custom by default but I can make one.
I would really appreciate if you could do it :) Or at least always show Databases and Output. Tasks I do most often are: - export a set of tables (not entire database) to a compressed file - export one table as text -- Piotr Przybylski
