René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Too much repetition in tab name","articleBody":"When creating Aliases, I tend to name them including the database name, and user login name, because... well... what else would I name them?\n\nSo I might name an alias:\n```localhost foo as foo```\n\nBut then when I connect using that alias, the tab becomes called:\nlocalhost foo as foo (foo) as foo. That's a bit too foobar for me!\n\nIt seems to me there are 2 rational options:\nEither:\n(a) You let the user name the alias, and respect it in the tab bar title without adding to it.\nor\n(b) If you think dbname and user name is critical for display, ok, then also append it to the user alias in the Aliases sidebar, ... in which case I won't put that in my alias name.\n\nEither way, I'll see the information only once, not twice.\nAnd since I'm using the option to name the X-window after this string, this is bothering me double.\n\nI believe you can make a TreeTable in Java Swing, so one option would be the alias list has columns database and user. You could also add columns host name, and then I don't think I'd even feel the need to name my aliases at all. That could get overly complicated though.\n\n\n\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/xpusostomos","@type":"Person","name":"xpusostomos"},"datePublished":"2025-11-09T09:18:17.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/77/squirrel-sql-code/issues/77"}
