#1437 Result set partial copy doesn't work

[Robert]

Copy funtion (right click on a result set) does only work when all rows are selecten in the grid.

E.g. a single row selection copy does not work.

Sorry, I can't reproduce the problem.

Here's the ways SQuirreL handles copying rows:

• Click on a cell of the row you want to copy. In the right mouse menu choose "Select entire row(s)". Then execute any of the copy function in the right mouse menu.
• Click on the first cell of a row. Hold down the right mouse button and start dragging along the line to the last cell of the line. (A rectangle shows up while dragging to indicate your selection.) Then execute any of the copy function in the right mouse menu.

Many thanks for the explanation.

I understand now how it works., but I'd like to ask for a clear selection coloring.

Currently when selecting a cell the whole row gets colored.

This looks like the whole row is already selected.

On the opposite the cell's border (active cell / selection) is very difficult to recognize.

The same holds if a range of cells is selected using the mouse marking data with the rectangle. One In fact I cannot see what data is selected then at all.

I'd like to see the selected data in a bit clearer way, e.g. by ONLY coloring the cells actually selected. A bit more detailed:

1. single / multiple / range cell selection coloring only for the data selection (not coloring the whole row if single cells are selected).
2. whole row colouring should occur when a "Row Number" is selected. Is it possible to have the column "Row Number" as a default setting?
3. whole column coloring should occur when a CTRL + click on column occurs. CTRL because the click is already used for sorting the data, which seems to me much more often used and therefore justified getting the simple click event over the consistent selection approach.
4. Additionally the "Row number" of rows with a selection of cells should be colored and the "column header name" of the columns having a selection, too.

Maybe this could be an additional improvement (right click function: *select entire column(s)).

I noticed now some related information "selected rows" / "position". I think this is only useful for very small tables (where counting columns on the screen may be ok) but generally has a very limited value. Figuring out index positions when working with column names and a bit larger tables seems to be not useful or am I missing something here?

Many thanks, again.
