Hey Tony....been playing with LA after purchasing it a day back and a couple of requests regarding the Add Server dialog box.

1) when adding a new server - once you add the minimum required details, ie: alias, host, username and password - it would be nice little feature that once you drop-down the database list combo-box that it shows you the databases that are tied to that username/password on the server. This way it allows you to pick one of the databases instead of having to manually enter the database in. On that note, though....see next point.

1b) once you enter a server and a database name...it adds the server to the left-side tree with whatever databases that are tied to that username/password, so I think adding a database name seems to be an extra step that's not really needed since there may be more than 1 database tied to a username/password on a server.

One or most of the other MySQL programs out there basically work this way...I can't remember which one in particular though.

2) add a "Test Connection" button on the Add Server dialog box; again...saving time by clicking OK (dialog box goes way), then double-clicking the server to try to connect. If there's an error....you have to go back and edit the properties and do that all over again to make sure it can connect. (the other proggies have this feature as well and it really makes it handy to quickly test the connection in case a detail in wrong and you can fix it right there).

3) Not really related to the above.....to take off the "personalized menu" feature on the File and Help menubar drop-downs...esp. the "File" menu. There's only 3 functions there and it's a little annoying that it "hides" the only other 2 functions except "Exit". Once clicked it shows, but resets itself once you close LA down. Same with the Help menu. Just to clarify the "personalized menu"....I'm referring to the upside triangle at the bottom of the drop-down menu that shows the hidden functions. Not a big deal, but a small improvement in that helps with the overall experience. 8)

4) Finally...I assume this "internal Forum" is only meant for "Registered Users" as it's not viewable to the public, but yet you have a "public" Forum as well! So where do we post as the Public Forum seems to have more action. 8) I'm a little confused there!

Any other ideas that pop up....I'll surely post them up! Again...great job on LA....I'm really looking forward to relying on it now!

Cheers!
