Description Patrick Keegan 2008-09-08 17:02:07 UTC 
When you set out to register MySQL in the IDE, you need to fill paths to the admin tool, start command, and stop
command. These three things are all within the MySQL directory, but when you click each Browse button, it defaults to
your user dir. After you fill in one of the fields, the next Browse buttons should start from the folder that you last
chose.

I agree, it would be nice to remember where you were last time you did a Browse...
Comment 2 Rob Englander 2008-09-22 15:47:42 UTC 
Here's what I've done...

Any time you choose a file from the file browser using a Browse... button, the associated directory
is retained and used as the starting point for any subsequent Browse... click -- only if the Admin property
path is currently empty.  If the user navigates to a directory but then decides to Cancel, the directory is
not retained.  And if the user clicks Browse... for an Admin property that already has a path, that path is
used (which is how it works now).

Close the MySQL Properties dialog and the scenario starts over next time.

I considered retaining the default path so that next time the Properties dialog is launched it remembers where
you were.  Is that worthwhile?
Comment 3 Patrick Keegan 2008-09-22 15:53:20 UTC 
That's definitely an improvement. I think it would be nice for it to remember the directory even after closing the
dialog, but I don't think doing that is as important as remembering it when you are in the dialog itself as most people
aren't going to return to that dialog often, if at all.

Will retain directory after closing dialog.  It's no problem.
