4.4 Scripts Browser

The Scripts Browser functions as a navigational aid for file management. Context sensitive menus are accessible through right-click on items within it or keyboard shortcut (ALT + DOWN ARROW). The Scripts Browser can be separated or undocked as an individual window as part of the  Workspace and Docking Framework of Aqua Data Studio. It uses a tree to display mounted folder and file contents, allowing for rapid location of files. When the Scripts Browser is in focus, typing the first few letters of a word selects matching files or directories. When mounted local files are part of a file repository in Source Control or Version Control, the update status of files and directories appear as icon overlays: up to date (green circle with a checkmark), out of date (red exclamation point), conflicted (yellow trianlge with exclamation point), or unversioned (no overlay).  For more on Aqua Data Studio's version control client, and the Repository Browser, see Version Control in Aqua Data Studio.

To quickly find a file or directory in the Scripts Browser, bring the Scripts Browser into focus, then begin typing. The folder or file with the associated name will select as you type. To search for wildcards, begin by typing *. For a more advanced search, use the File Search feature.

Below is an explanation of the various elements of the Scripts Browser within the screenshot.

  1. Scripts Browser Panel Bar: This handle allows you to pull the Scripts Browser from the Main Application Toolbar Menu as a separate window panel.
  2. Mount (up to date with version control repository): This icon represents a mount of the local file system that is up to date with the remote version control repository.
  3. Mount (out of date with version control repository): This icon represents a mount of the local file system that is out of date with the remote version control repository.
  4. Directory (out of date with version control repository): This icon represents a directory of the local file system that is out of date with the remote version control repository.
  5. File (out of date with version control repository): This icon represents a file of the local file system that is out of date with the remote version control repository.
  6. Mount (not part of version control repository): This mount is available to Aqua Data Studio, but is not a part of version control.
  7. Servers and Scripts Tab: Clicking on these tabs swaps between the Schema Browser and Scripts Browser.
  8. Toggle Docking Button: This button undocks and redocks the Schema Browser.
  9. Scripts Details: When the Details pane is open, it displays the contents of the currently selected Script Object. This is useful for viewing contents without having to expand the items within the Scripts Browser.
  10. Scripts Path: When an item in the Scripts Browser is selected, its full path displays in the Scripts Path.
