RE: MySQL Administrator 1.0.18 and Query Browser 1.1.4 released

Hi Mark,

Currently we do not yet have an explicit changelog. You can always see what has been fixed by querying our bug database.
However a changelog is definitely something we should finally get in place. If all goes well we will provide one with
the next update.

FYI: MySQL Query Browser has got two new major features with the current update.

1) You can now filter the display in the three structure trees (schema, bookmarks and history). The filter box above all
three trees allows search terms with wildcards as used in SQL (e.g. "%"). Note that filtering schematas and their
elements the first time may take a long time when you are remotely connected because it will retrieve all details for
all schemas in a database.

2) Direct open of tables is now possible. That means you simply can drag a table from the schema tree and drop it either
on a result grid (also in splitted tab sheets) or on a tab. This is similar to double clicking the table twice, but is
more convenient. If the table is dropped on a result set then this result set will be replaced by that returned from a
simple SELECT on the dragged table. Dropping on a tab allows to open a table even if you have the help tab or a script
editor currently open or you want the table being opened in a tab that is currently not in the foreground.

It is also possible to drag more than one table to the result area. In this case a new tab is opened for each table
instead of replacing the one under the mouse (if there is any). Holding the Ctrl key when dropping a single table has
the same effect. Alternatively you can hold the Alt key, which will split the current result set tab and add the dropped
table as a new result set on that tab sheet. This is also possible with multiple tables. In this case all dropped tables
are added to that sheet.

Finally you can hold Ctrl and Alt together. In this case one new page is opened and all dropped tables are added to that
one page (splitted). Note: holt Ctrl and Alt key only when dropping, not when selecting nodes in the schemata treeview
as they have a different meaning while a selection is performed.

I know that there are bugs as with any other software. Can you tell me what are your 5 most annoying bugs? Have you
created entries in our bug database for each of them? How long have you been waiting already for either of them to be
fixed?

Thanks for your patience
