[Qgis-developer] Questions about Dialog for Select by Expression

[Lene Fischer]

Hi Junior and Nathan,
Thanks for your reply-
Nathan: It looks good with the new box – but where are the load unique values/sample.
It´s quite important for many users.
Regards

Hey Lene and Junior,

> The height of the expression frame should indeed have a minimum value, to avoid closing it. But this is not a new behaviour. In QGIS 2.4, you could already close totally this frame if you drag down enough. I think it's a bug and you can fill a ticket unless it's an intended behaviour (and it would be nice if the dev can explain why such choice - thanks).

This isn't a issue anymore as the dialog has been redone in 2.8.  You can see what it looks like in this https://twitter.com/madmanwoo/status/539263306716811264

We have changed to use a better code editor for the text box and are using a built-in SQL lexer for the syntax. In SQL single and double quotes at the same thing, at least the lexer likes to think so.  I'm looking into a fix for 2.8

Lene,

About syntax coloring, I have it work as expected here but I'm on 2.6.1 (haven't tried 2.6.0). Maybe, it's already fixed or it's an OS issue (I'm on Windows 7  64bits, Osgeo4w advanced install).
For the last one, I agree with you, we should have kept "load unique values" and "All" instead of "load  values" and "All unique". The first one seems more comprehensive to me and everybody gets that the "unique" term applies for "All" and "10 samples". It may be confusing now, having "unique" only on "All" button. No?

Hi,
In the dialog Select by expression there has been some changes in 2.6

Window dragging in expressions must have a minimum vale so the express doesn’t disappear if you drag down.
Secondly – before there was a syntax coloring – now it´s all the same color.
At last – why does buttons change name – if there is no change in function? Here I refere to Load values.

Please see the video http://screencast.com/t/VE4PvkT1 that explains the questions.
Regards
