Re: save SQL in PgAdmin4

Dave,

I'd like to make a feature request that PgAdmin4 add a save button (that is always enabled) to any window that displays SQL. 

Most editors I have worked with always provide a save (and/or save as) even if the text has not changed.

Even PgAdmin3 has a Save button for SQL displayed in the SQL window.

Now that you ask, that's a good question.... I just tried it myself
(Scripts -> Create script), and the "Save" button is greyed out.

You can activate it by making some small edit in the generated SQL, but
this seems like a bug.

Depends how you look at it. The button is looking for changes the user has made, not pre populated or loaded text. It's like when you double-click on a file and it opens in an editor - most will not enable the save button at that point.
