Description Roman Mostyka 2008-08-19 14:44:31 UTC 
1. Rightclick "Databases" node and choose "Register MySQL Server...".
2. Enter necessary parameters, root user and password and check "Save Password" checkbox. MySQL server node will be added.
3. Expand it, rightclick some DB and choose "Connect".

Result: In appeared dialog password is absent and "Save Password" checkbox isn't checked. But I saved password when I
connected to MySQL server and it is clear that I know password. Why I have to specify it every time. I can change it if
necessary, but if I haveroot password I want just to add DB connections, without specifying password.

This is a good point, this is annoying.

The defaulting of Save Password setting is not appropriate just because the password was passed along.  That part of the
change needs to be backed out, but the password passed from the MySQL registration will still be used as the default.

Roman, if you still feel that the Save Password should be defaulted from the registration dialog as well, please add an
enhancement request.  It requires a public API change.

Log: #144400 If the password is specified and kept during MySQL registration, then new connections created from a Database under that server node will default to using that same username and password, and will also default to keeping the password.
