Re: How to enable PgAdmin Query Tool Favorites

Hi Colin,Thanks for the feedback. I have also pgAdmin III installed on my Windows 7 workstation and I can observe there the exact behaviour that you are explaining:
- add favorite remains greyed out until there is actually something in the query box to save
- manage favs remains greyed out until there is something to manageBut on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop, the ‘Add favourite…’ and ‘Manage favourites…’ are greyed out all the time.I have text entered in the query box and the ‘Add favourite…’ is still grey.Regards,
Vahdet

Bug reference: 13605

Logged by: Vahdet Mert

PostgreSQL version: 9.3.9

Operating system: ubuntu 14.04

Description:

I use pgAdmin extensively but cannot get the Query Tool
favorites to work.

The Add Favourite and Manage Favourite menu options are greyed
out.

I have a valid .pgadminfavorites xml file as I can edit the xml
directly and

see the resulting favorites queries under the Favorites menu.
But I just

cannot add new favorites or manage existing through the pgadmin
interface.

Running Ubuntu 14.04 and pgAdmin 1.18.1

Thanks,

Vahdet

As feedback, works for me. I'm on openSUSE 13.2 latest pgadmin and I
can save and retrieve queries. Note that the add favorite remains
greyed out until there is actually something in the query box to
save. As soon as a query is saved as a favourite, when you click the
menu item the fav appears at the bottom of the list of options and a
click on that brings it back. Manage favs remains greyed out until
there is something to manage.
