SQL History - Recent query list filenames - increase number of characters displayed before truncation
This is a minor inconvenience, but one with multiple potentially easy solutions. When using SQL History, I find that the "Recent queries" filenames become truncated very early due to the large font size and having only a single row of text used for displaying them. There is also a chunk of free space / padding to the right side that seems to be wasted (see orange arrow in my 2nd screenshot).
Given the naming convention that I tend to use with my saved scripts ("date - internal ticket # - brief script description/purpose"), I often only see the date and ticket #, so there may be several queries in a row that appear to be named the same at first glance.
If I horizontally drag to widen the Recent query pane to reveal more/all of my script files' names (as shown in my first screenshot), I then give up space on the query preview pane to the right. This results in a constant dragging of the Recent query list back and forth while navigating through the list and previewing the T-SQL.
There are multiple potential ways I can think of to address this to varying extents:
Reclaim the extra padding pointed out in my 2nd screenshot -- this at least gives room for perhaps one more word or two to be displayed.
Add a setting to reduce the font size of "Recent queries" filenames (or just reduce it down to something like the size of the timestamp shown below it in gray to buy more space without having to add a whole new setting).
Vertically expand the filename text area slightly and allow the filename to word wrap onto a second or even third line (or better yet, enable the user to vertically drag to resize as they desire, but this would probably require more dev time).
[Edit: note that my attached screenshots' orders got uploaded in reverse order (so when I say "1st screenshot" above, it means the second/right-hand side one with a 40 KB size). Just adding for clarification.]
Thanks!
