Hello all,
What do you people think of adding a so-called "dry run" mode to pgAdmin? Basically, what I want is to be able to step through all the dialogs and forms and the rest of the UI in some test mode so that I can see all the GUI elements and their appearance w/o actually performing any underlying operations.
This seems a good idea to support translators. But it has some caveats which have to be considered while implementing. E.g. a dummy server may not be written to the registry when exiting the app.
Many strings which are not easily understandable without context are probably error messages. A translator would still have the problem "when is this string xyz used".
Win9x support is still not implementable. Our weak 9x support is not a database connection issue; it's the operating system lacking proper unicode support, which is unfortunately *the* limiting factor for your "dry mode" target audience.
Regards, Andreas
