[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HBX-902) Support naming / renaming HQL editor tabs

[Joseph Marques (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-902?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=33219#action_33219 ] 

Joseph Marques commented on HBX-902:
------------------------------------

the point is that any reasonable query is going to be dozens if not hundreds of characters long.  if i want to compare the results of 3 or 4 different query variants, all of which start with the exact same 100 characters, i can't tell the difference between the tabs.  the names are truncated because the horizontal length of each tab is constrained.  

if tab renaming was supported i could use short, descriptive tab names like the following "correlated subQ", "uncorrelated subQ", and "restricted join" to quickly and easily tell the difference without having to actually view the tab contents.

furthermore, the fact that every query execution creates a new tab might be part of the problem.  perhaps there should be a way of making the editor "sticky" with respect to some tab.  this way i could rename the tab, continue tweaking until i get the results i want, and i only need one query tab that keeps getting updating.  just a thought.

> Right now, if I open multiple HQL editors under the same configuration they are ALL named "HQL: <configuration>"
> When I have 3 or 4 of them open, I sometimes forget which query is in which, so I waste time poking around to find the right one.  If they could be suffixed with the unique user-chosen token, then they would be much easier to work with.  So something like:
> "HQL: <configuration>: <name>"
> Or, even better, since HQL isn't really needed (because the HQL editor has a distinct editor icon), it could be removed entirely, leaving us with:
> "<configuration>: <name>"
> Thoughts?
