Modal error message for empty string integer filter

[qwesda]

If you put an empty string as the input of a filter for an integer column you get this modal error message: Could not load table rows. The server said: invalid input syntax for integer: "".

Having an empty string as a filter makes of cause no sense, but this happens sometimes by hitting enter accidentally. Postico should just ignore these, not show an error message and load the rows as if no filter was set.

The modal dialog is even worse if it occurs in the foreign key row selector. The row selector closes immediately after the modal dialog sheet appears and there is no way of clearing the wrong filter. See attached gif:

It is also confusing to me that Postico remembers the filters for tables and the foreign key row selector indefinitely. Postico should limit this to the current window. It's annoying to first remove any old filters, if you open a table that you worked in a week ago.

I could get rid of the dialog by manipulating posticos db:

> sqlite3 ~/Library/Containers/at.eggerapps.Postico/Data/Library/Application\ Support/Postico/ConnectionFavorites.db

then enter

DELETE FROM ZPGEPREFCONTAINERPROPERTY WHERE ZTYPE = 4;

Thanks for reporting this issue; watching the GIF is slightly unnerving 😉

If fixed this now; Postico now displays the error message inline instead of a modal dialog.

This change will be in the next update, or you can download a dev build right now:
