[Phpmyadmin-devel] Recently Used Tables

[Aris Feryanto]

Hi,

I've just got some comments from the feature tracker [0]:

=====================================
The only problem I see is that each time I go to a new table, (within the
same database) the left column refreshes. Is this to repopulate that
list????

If it is, users will get very annoyed with that I fear for 2 reasons:

1. I work on 10Gig + databases, and it's can take a while for left frame
to load, so if it tries to reload each time I change a table that will take
forever

2. The flashing frame on reload for each table change will just be
visually distracting.

Hopefully this is just happening on the Demo site to reloaded multi/users
changes,

If it is reloading 'just to change the recent tables drop down', I would
suggest either:
1. Try adding 'recent list' in it's own frame, for quick reload
2. Add 'recent table' as a tab (After Tracking tab) that uses a JavaScript
hover to display recent tables, therefore it is repopulated on each new
page, and the left frame does not need to reload each table change.

=====================================

I'll try to use ajax to refresh the drop-down list. It would be more convenient if users can still interact with the recent list (in case the user wrongly select the recent table), while the main frame is still loading.

Other comments and suggestions are welcome.
