* Simplify code for getting connection parameters from registry by implementing helpers:LoadConnectionParams()
* Use combobox for network type instead of radio buttons, now that 3 options would need more horizontal space than we have
* Hide tabs on session manager which are irrelevant for the selected network type (e.g. no SSL options for named pipe)
* Some minor code simplifications
* Remove complicated and unreadable NSIS stuff. No need to have a installer for a developer application. ZIP file is fine.
* On startup, if a portable_settings.txt exists in the application folder, heidisql.exe will read its contents into a unique registry key.
* In MainForm.OnDestroy, settings are written to that file again, and the reg key gets deleted.
* Avoid using Microsoft's .reg file syntax, as you need admin privileges to store and restore such files, even when using the appropriate Windows API functions.
* Load in OnBeforePaint, if the tree's tag is set to NOTLOADED
* Load 1,000 rows in one step, up to a maximum of 100,000 rows. Both values are customizable.
* Load next chunk when user presses PageDown on the last node, or, more explicitly, when user clicks "Next rows" button
* Should fix all AVs which seem to be a timing issue with loading data on demand.
* Fixes issue #1675, fixes issue #1580, fixes issue #1721, fixes issue #1734, fixes issue #972
* Use 2 VirtualTree's instead of broken TComboBoxEx pulldown's
* Enlarge the user list so all items are visible at once
* Privilege objects now use a tree style, 1st level is the objects name, 2nd level is the privilege name ("select", "update" ...)
Fixes issue #1707
* Sanitize main unit from unused variables
* Move global variables to public scope
* Bring public vars into some reasonable order
* Move constants to const.inc, unless dependent from some used VCL unit
* Instead, use separate SHOW commands for tables, functions, procedures and triggers
* Catch this chance to move these methods from main unit to mysql_connection, so they're accessible in a more generic way
* Additionally, introduce new classes TDBObject and TDBObjectList which provide a more generic way than TMySQLQuery to access these database objects.
Fixes issue #1529
* Move const.inc and compilers.inc back to main source directory
* Move remaining few lines of code from heidicomp.pas to helpers.pas
* Remove components/compilerdetection and components/heidisql
* Remove remainders of EDBImage component, unused since Aug 08.
Implement an optimized and universal way to safe and restore the column visibibility of ListTables (and all other VirtualStringTrees) by merging that code with the code for the column-resizing feature.
- Drops global var ListTablesColumnNames and proc SetupListTablesHeader.
- Change + move "RestoreColumnWidths" to private "RestoreListSetup", add code from SetupListTablesHeader
- Change + move "SafeColumnWidths" to private "SafeListSetup", add code from MenuTablelistColumnsClick
- Default visible columns are (must be) set at design time now
Pro:
- RestoreListSetup is called once in FormShow, while SetupListTablesHeader was called each time in LoadDatabaseProperties.
- SafeListSetup is only called once in FormClose
- Just safes the column indexes, not the column names in registry. Makes it safe to rename columns in the future
- Less registry read/write access in general.
- Safe/RestoreListSetup open an easy way to implement further list features (column moving, etc.)
- Makes it a cakewalk to implement the same column un/hiding feature for the remaining 4 Lists.
Contra:
- people/developers who used a build from 870 to this one on will see their activated columns in ListTables reset to the default (7 first columns) because the registry key and value has changed. (but: better do that now than after an official relase)
- Drop pagecontrol to access more than one selected table. Didn't seem helpful for any case, looked ugly and was a click hell to use.
- Implement changeable editors for table name, comment, engine, charset, collation and auto_increment value.
- Backward compatibility kept: A 3.23.58 server leads to disabling editors for engine, charset and collation while keeping the others working.
A table's charset and collation can now be provided at creation time and at altering time. Just as it's implemented for databases. Fullfills now most of the wishes in RFE #1693393.
- Synchronize height of all listviews after moving the splitter on one page.
- Drop maximum dimensions of form.
- Store/restore form and list dimensions via registry
- Documentation
- Simplify code
- Add useful popupmenu with items "Copy" + "Select all" to SynMemos which display the CREATE statements
- Rely on modalresult of form, drop OnClick handler of Close-button
- Format sum of table sizes using FormatByteNumber instead of always using KB as the unit of choice.
- Add a statusbar to the form to signalize that the form can be resized.
