PostGIS dialogue usability/annoyance
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>>
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> This is with qgis
1.0.0-Kore-preview2: </span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>>
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> * Open "Add PostGIS layer"
dialogue </span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> * Connect to some
database </span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>>
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> If you now double click on a
table the SQL dialogue opens, you add
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> something there and close the
dialogue. You table is selected, everything
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> is ok.
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>>
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> But now you decide that you want
to change the sql statement, you double
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> click the table again, the
dialogue opens, you edit it and close it.
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>>
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> Now your table is not selected
any more. You have to find it again and
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> select it before you close the
"Add PostGIS layer" dialogue. </span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>>
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> So the problem here is that the
first click of a double click in the
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> "Add PostGIS layer" dialogue
changes the select status of a table just
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> like a normal click would.
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>>
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> I think the behaviour should be
different: Double click should open the
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> SQL dialogue and after closing
it the table should *always* be selected.
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> Because thats what you want
almost all the time. (Why would you bother
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> adding an SQL WHERE clause when
you don't want to import the table as a
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> new layer.)
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>>
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> also: it is not obvious that you
can open the SQL dialogue with a double
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> click. I think there should be
another way to open the dialogue, the
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> double click should only be a
shortcut. </span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>>
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> also: can we do something about
the default width of the columns in the
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> "Add PostGIS layer" dialogue? My
table names tend to be wider than would
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> fit and "Geometry column" is
smaller normally. Do we need the icons and
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> the text in the "Type" column?
Maybe the columns could widen themselves
</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> automatically according to the
content? </span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>>
