MySQL Bugs: #29366: Connection Dialog stores every unnamed connection

Bug #29366	Connection Dialog stores every unnamed connection
Submitted:	26 Jun 2007 16:49	Modified:	26 May 2009 13:23
Reporter:	Peter Lavin	Email Updates:
Status:	Unsupported	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Administrator	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	1.2.12	OS:	Linux
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	Connections

Description:
MySQL Administrator and Query Browser both store every new connection in the mysqlx_user_connections.xml file. This can create a very large mysqlx_user_connections.xml file. Additionally, under Windows, the "Stored Connection" drop down list box on the connection dialogue screen becomes populated with connections that have no name. This can become confusing because, if an unnamed connection is selected in the drop down box, the Server Host and Username text boxes are disabled.

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
Only save connections at the user's request.

Many thanks for writing a bug report. We are on the way to implement full functionality of MySQL Administrator into MySQL Workbench. Unfortunately you are using an unsupported platform. More informations about supported platforms you will find here:
