[Phpmyadmin-devel] Question About Zahra Naeem's syncronization GUI
Hi folks, I recently read the post http://trackingchangesphp.blogspot.com/2009/07/fine-tunings-in-gui-2.html about recent updates to the synchronization and have some feedback if it's okay. If I correctly understand the posting, the "Apply difference" button will only synchronize the selected options whereas "Synchronize Databases" instead will synchronize everything regardless of which checkboxes are selected. So hitting "Select All" then "Apply difference" would have the same effect as "Synchronize Databases", right? If this is the case, I don't really see the point to having two buttons; I imagine this will only confuse the user. IMHO having the "Select All" link is sufficient and then extra "Synchronize Databases" button is redundant. I'm just suggesting...I realize it's a work-in-progress but just thought I'd share my thoughts. Regards, ~isaac

To me it also looks also redundant... -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.cz

I have the feeling that Synchronize would go also from target to source. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info
