Hi,

One of the items that was noted in the release of 1.6 was the ability to
move queries into a new window, allowing for use on multiple screens. I
was wondering if anyone has been able to make this work. I've given it
a shot, but seem to be missing a step in the process.

The one way I've seen to open a new window is by Right Clicking on the
pgAdmin 4 logo at the top left, and choosing the option to Open in a New
Window. The result of this is a new window, but in the form of a tab
created in the existing window. Is there a way to break that out
separately to its own window? I thought with the beta version that Dave
Page released shortly before 1.6 was released, that I had gotten this to
work, but now I'm not sure.

The other feature I wonder about is whether there is a setting to load
the entire result into the window at once. Right now, when I run a
query, that returns say 13000 rows, it runs successfully. When I grab
the scroll bar to scroll to the bottom, it runs down through about 1000
records, then the scroll bar jumps halfway back up again, as it has
obviously loaded another batch of records into the cache. Is there any
setting to change so that I can scroll to the bottom of the results
without having to continually load records into the cache? Any input
would be much appreciated.

For tech details, I'm running this on a Windows 7, Intel i7, 16GB RAM.

On a personal note, I want to say that the 1.6 release of pgAdmin4 is a
huge step for the software. It is far more stable, loads faster, and
seems to be approaching parity with what pgAdmin3 offered. As someone
who was pretty critical of the initial release of the software, I want
to acknowledge that it is clear the developers have been working hard to
address the concerns that were expressed. It is very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Russell
