Are you planing to add radio buttons there without label in front..?? Because if there're no labels in front of radio buttons then users may get confused.

How about having two groups in the same drop-down. One for recent tables and one for favorite tables. For example look at the PMA's drop down for column type on table creation form. It has got groups in the same drop down. Like a group of all the numeric types, another group for all Date and Time types and so on.

Hi, I think the feature request [0] will be a useful one. As Marc mentioned we need the think about saving the space in navigation panel. What about use 2 radio buttons to switch between Recent Tables and the Favourite Tables with the same drop down as displayed in the image [1]. Using a tool tip for radio buttons will help to familiar with this feature. To make it more configurable, we can use two global variables for enabling this feature and for default radio selection (whether Recent Tables by default or Favourite Tables by default). I didn't look into the implementations yet. But I think it should be possible. Appreciate your thoughts on this.

Their can be possibility to scroll more down for find needed (recent/favourite) table.

I'm thinking we should have a small series of links to allow users to click to "All", "Favorite", and "Recent" display. Please see the attached mockup for an idea of what I have in mind. Favorites and recents can be stored in PMA Configuration Storage or local storage as we do with user preferences. What do you all think of this idea?

So, click on "All" will show both Recent and Favourite tables, in a categorized drop down. Is it ? I propose "All" being the current tree view; Recent and Favorite would replace the tree view with a bullet list or similar display with one line per table (or view). I can do a further mockup later.

Btw, we only show tables in that drop down right. So do we need at least mention the phrase "table" in tool tip. Do you think it is enough ? Sorry, I'm not sure which tool tip you're referring in this case.
