[Phpmyadmin-devel] RFE #982 : Support for editing binary fields in hexadecimal

[Chirayu Chiripal]

Hi,

Does this feature mean editing binary and blob fields should be done in
hexadecimals always?

And, even when table is browsed they should be shown in hexadecimal only?

If yes, then there is no need for this $cfg['DisplayBinaryAsHex']?

And for $cfg['ProtectBinary'], IMHO it should not be removed so that users
have and option to disable editing of binary fields to avoid accidental
changes to data (even though they can be edited in hexadecimal form). Also,
BLOB data can be very large and if we remove this config. var. then
whenever someone will try to edit row then every time that BLOB field data
will be displayed (which can be very very large) will have performance
issue as well as it can annoy the user.
