Current Connection: Is there an indicator on the GUI of my connection type and if secure?

Hi there;

I've been trying the portable version for a few weeks now and I'm beginning to like it. (Coming from Portable LibreOffice Base using MySQL direct connect).

I can't find for the life of me on the software any indication that my connection is indeed SSH secure. I figure it is - being that if the SSH tunnel fields are completed and I connect w/o errors - it must be, but I have now way of verifying for sure (and I'm transferring private data). Poked around in all the GUI features but can't find anything that indicates "Connection Type Status".

If this feature is not available (hard to believe), PLEASE INTEGRATE THIS SUGGESTION (as Putty, WinSSCP, and many others show on the "status bar" & on "connection details")

Addendum: I also find no SSH status from mouse-hovering over the bottom MySQL status icon

Yes, confirmed. Would it be sufficient if I add the network type of the current session in that mouse-over tooltip? For example "Network type: MySQL (SSH tunnel)"

I would just add the (browser style) padlock icon just stating the SSH-# and let them click on it for a popup with more info (see my winSCP attachment).

I take on you're the developer?

..or tooltip as you suggested if easier.

Added to the tooltip in r5090.

Yes, I am the developer of Heidi.

Just upgraded (portable upgraded smoothly in-place!) and I see that added note in the TT.

I think the paddock icon idea would be best when you have the time: shown locked for SSH or SSL, shown unlocked for un-encrypted plaintext to promote security.

Thank you for taking quick action;

PS: I may have found a bug. Being unrelated, will LYK in a fresh post.

It would be nice to allow copying the connection information from the server status panel. The current window does not allow it.

Thanks in advance.

You can click on the status bar panel with the server version to get such a dialog:

Pressing Ctrl+C then will copy it in such a way:

[Window Title]
SQLserver: Information

[OK]

Oh! Excellent. If there was a small warning text saying it can be copied, it would be very good because the cursor is not visible in that window.

Thank you.
