Impractical with a lot of text in database #31

Closed reisub closed 3 years ago

We should add an option to have a preference to toggle showing all content or ellipsize it (default).

zplesac commented 9 years ago

+1 for this

brcinho commented 8 years ago

+1 for this Also one argument from other side is that for some data types like numeric with decimal points, the digits in normal view get cut off after fourth digit, which caused a lot of debugging for me until I found that I was actually storing the latitude and longitude with correct amount of decimals and that DB Inspector was cutting digits off when showing data from table.

We could also show ellipsized contents on the table contents screen and have another row details screen which would contain the full content of a single row. So far we haven't found the time to implement this and I don't think we'll find it in the near future so if anyone wants to work on this, feel free!

Since this a very different direction of how we should handle a lot of data in a single cell, we can continue discussion in a recently open issue. This new issue suggests only UI manipulations and not changing actual data, which is more inline with what this project should do.
