Lots of great inspirations in these screenshots, thanks for sharing them. Many of the things listed above are already part of a backlog I wrote of features that will slowly come to Sequeler. Just to give you a little preview, the next releases will have:

Notebook Query tab with auto save of typed queries.
Built-in UI Filter and Search results.
Create new tables.
And so on...

@Alecaddd I see that the table icon can be more consistent, being enhanced to represent a table instead of a hard disk.

Unfortunately elementary icon theme doesn't have a specific icon to represent a spreadsheet, but thinking quickly, I see two options:

First and easiest, use the text-calendar icon as it is one of the most table-like.

The second option is to create a new icon by editing the x-office-spreadsheet icon and stick to the table part only. Like this:

What's your opinion about this improvement?

Alecaddd commented 5 years ago

I like the second option. It might be interesting to extend this implementation in order to have a greyed out version of the icon if no records are present in the table. Would you be able to create a PR?
