Request: option to not have column type in "copy with names"

Post by digiflex » Tue 21 Jun 2016 03:47

I hope I've just missed the configuration setting for this, because it's duplicate functionality. But I can't find the option. So can I please have the option to turn off the new behaviour?

Back in the day "copy with names" was on the right-click menu rather than in a sub-menu, and it did not include the column type. I liked that. I can live with the sub-menu, but having to manually remove the types when I want to work with the data is really, really annoying. Could you possibly make those a new row rather than concat'ing them onto the column name. Or at least add a space, so I can regex them away?

Code: Select all

idINT	enabledTINYINT	serial_numberBIGINT
1033	1	286737
Pasting it into Excel doesn't help. Pasting it into a text editor, removing the types, then pasting it into Excel is slightly less annoying than editing it directly in Excel.
That looks awful to me.

Code: Select all

id INT, enabled TINYINT, serial_number BIGINT, panel_types_id INT
"copy column names and types" does what I expect, and even has the space separators. Ideally you'd leave that as a special option for people who want it, and take the types off the "copy data" option.
