[Phpmyadmin-devel] ideas / concerns / problems [about|with] user settings feature

[Zeeshan M.]

*What is you plan with the font size setting? It's already taken care of,
on the main page.

For the default language, I don't think that this is much needed, as the
current language selectors work well and are able to detect the
browser's defined language.*

Yes, this is what I have was recently thinking.  Since, the original goals
of the project are very clear to me know I don't think there is need to have
interfaces for default language, font size, and max rows etc.

I think I was confusing what I was originally supposed to do (which also
happens to be much simpler) with something I read in your book about
"permanent storage" feature.  Can you please elaborate on this if it is
related to my project, and in what way?

Thank you!
