Re: [pgadmin-support] pgAdmin 4 1.0-beta4 - Query Tool, Select file popup issues

[Michal Kozusznik]

I can only say, that making dump files on server side is neither good 
practice or practical. In both cases there are multiple reasons why not 
do that.
And in most cases it's automated job, which this usecase irrelevant for 
pgAdmin.

I can admit it might be handsome in some (lazy/amateur) usecases. But it 
shouldn't be used to drift requirements and user experience wrong way

Reason to work with files stored on server: dump/backup file

Do you already worked with Microsoft SQL Server? If you do, then you 
know some things are more secure at server side than client side... 
IMHO...

    So just list the reasons, please.
    IMO there is no single reason to work with files stored on the
    server. It could be even considered non-safe in some scenarios.
    It's enough to work with client-side files. It's valid for local
    as well as remote work


        I agree. Except where it is not possible to do so, or in cases
        where
        it could lead to an inconsistent UI experience.

    What do you mean by inconsistent UI experience? If you mean
    pgadmin having different file browser appearance across various
    operating systems then it's non-relevant argument. Goal should be
    to have UI-consistent app in environment it's running under.

    With client-app responsible for opening files approach, everything
    would work out together.
