make it easier to find selected database in tree view

[ccurvey]

I often work with Postgres databases that are managed at hosting companies. These companies might have hundreds of databases on a single server. It would be great if the object browser tree (on the left) would highlight/select the current database so that i don't have to scroll through hundreds of databases to open the object browser.

In the screenshot, my selected database is "d68mc60o0cq4mp". (That really rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?) But to open the object browser for this database, I have to find it in the sea of 962 databases on this server. (And I don't have access to the other 961 databases.)

Maybe a good solution would be to just put the selected database at the top of the list of databases? Or have a setting to say "don't show non-selected databases" and then filter out the others?

Hi.
We are almost completed implementing the necessary back-end subsystems which this new feature will rely on.
The quick search/jump to object feature is planned in the next release.

Hi @ccurvey
In my opinion an optimal solution to this issue would be to add support for "pinning" select databases and display those at the very top of the list. We have started working on adding this feature to pgmanage. It will be included in the next (1.4) release.

Hi @ccurvey , we have implemented a couple of features that should improve the UX in such cases:

1. It is now possible to pin the selected databases in DB Explorer
2. It is now possible to do a quick search and go to the specific node in DB Explorer: just press cmd/ctrl + P , type the name and select one of the matches from the list

These features were included in 1.4 release
