[Feature Request] - Safe mode at the connection level

[smiley-uriux]

Love the extra protection safe mode provides, however I really only want it enabled on my production connections. I spend more time within non-production accounts though so I find myself disabling safe mode and having to remember to enable it when I switch to production - which sort of defeats the purpose. Being able to configure safe mode at the connection level, or perhaps applying safe mode to a configurable subset of connection tags would be a super useful addition.

Really great job with this software - its hands down my favorite MacOS db client and is getting better all the time!

I just found this feature and I had the exact same question. While it would be nice to have the Safe Mode setting within the connection edit window, it does seem that if you change the setting once connected, the setting persists to future connections. So, I went into each of my production databases, set Safe Mode to my desired setting, and it now keeps the setting next time I connect. YMMV.

I also agree that TablePlus is awesome!!!

Hi @smiley-uriux we can now set the default safe mode for any new connections in the settings

A very welcome addition, thanks @huyphams!

I'm also very interested in the original feature request: the ability to set a given connection to enable "safe mode". I'd like to require password before doing it in prod, alert before doing it in staging, and disable safe mode for local development.

Hi @kevinsmith it's connection level from the beginning, do you have any issue with it?

[huyphams]

Hi, @smiley-uriux I think I missed understood you from the beginning. TablePlus safe mode is per connection level already. Please let me know if you have any issue, if you found any issue please show us the steps to reproduce the issue.

@huyphams you are absolutely right. From a functionality standpoint it works pretty much the way I had hoped. It's just a little unclear from a design perspective it works like that. Definitely makes sense to close this issue, but perhaps in the future you can find a way to make connection level options vs. global options more obvious. Thanks for the great software! Happy customer here :)

[huyphams]

Currently, there are no global options for Safemode. We can only set Safemode for connections.

I'm confused. I would expect to set per-connection preferences in this part of the UI.
