  PDF related problems  
the whole relation/bookmark/pdf stuff has been widely rewritten by me now 
because of moving the tables to a central db so  a lot has changed there ...

...
   - when
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] is set and 
 $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] is not set it produces just MySQL error

 message, but IMHO it should report that it is wrong configured 
shouldn't happen anymore because of the different way that i check this in 
libraries/relation.inc.php3 

...
  - when I want to have just one table in pdf and it
doesn't have any 
 relations 
  I get just "Undefined PDF page number!" error 
please see if this will still happen with the new code, even then i think this 
is more a problem of giving a decent errormessage than of actually changing a 
lot there - there is not much sense in creating pdfs of only one table.
if you want a column list of one table have a look at tbl_printview

...
  - is it possible to have one table on more pages?

yes it is, but should allready have been possible with the code you have this 
is what we created the pdf_pages table for.

...
  - when I edit tables which will be displayed on some
page and I select table 
 instead of one already selected it is added, not replaced 
? i was sure i had tested that. i hope i can test this again later when i 
finished all the other changes

...
  - is there any easy possibily how to use it in just
few databases without 
 getting errors in the others? 
this will work without problems now with the new centralized pma_db

...
  - it works only with iso-8859-1 charset :-( 
because of the fpdf library that is used there as told in the documentation. 
could you enable this library to use other charsets?

...
  Syntaxcoloring  
...
  - (this is not bug just suggestion) Do you realy think
that blue color as 
 default for some types ("colorKeywords" and "colorAdd") is good? It
looks as 
 links, what about using for example: #990099 
;-) rabus allready said this, please feel free to change the color and commit

...
  - when I create table with comment, the comment is not
displayed (when 
 coloring switched off it is displayed correctly). 
it is?  oops, mea culpa.. hmm don't have an immediate idea why this should 
happen...

...
  Other  
...
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_comments']
- will it be used or it shouldn't be 
 in config?  
well i want to do this for 2.3.0 allthough time is running out - as mentioned 
before i will be in malta diving for one week starting tomorrow, and i still 
have to work in a bar tonight. so in a few hours i will have to stop. if i 
cannot make it until then, you want to release on the 18th as planned and 
nobody else finds the time to add this to tbl_relation (to enter comments) 
and tbl_printview (to show them) just remove this 

...
  How about adding links to db/table structure in left
frame? I mostly use 
 this  page in PMA and in 2.3.0 it's one more click for me :-(.  
me too, but i don't want to have more than one link per table on the left side 
- i have databases with about 30 tables and i want to have them all on one 
side.

but we could have a vote of wether it is more practical to get to structure or 
to get to sql page

cheers
