Window List:Transaction Indicator

[gulhaugen]

At times our developers forget that it's a window where you should commit/rollback. When having several windows open, the can be hard to notice if you get disturbed in the middle of something.

Some kind of global indicator would be nice, perhaps the window list.

Also, when a window is finnished working, some kind of balloon indicating that this has happened would also be nice.

This is on the list of enhancement requests. We recently received the suggestion to use the "running" indicator to also indicate an open transaction.

what about turning the existing indicators 90 degrees and adding a third indicator for transaction state?

this would also make "reading" the indicators easier. instead of a vertical line of horizontal indicators ( checking running windows means checking every 2nd indicator ), you would have three thin vertical lines of indicators and each indicator in the line means the same thing, one quick scan down the line and you can tell what state each window is in.

hope you understand what i mean.

If it somehow was a blinking thing, so you notice it while coding, and also, it's important that it's not only visible with the window list. I'd like to see it in the main window.
