  1. Rename tabs

    I would like the ability to open multiple tabs and rename them. Currently, the tabs are rendered as

    Documents
    <tabel_name.collection_name>

    Ideally, I could change the tab heading so that it's easier to navigate between the tabs

  3. Disable suggestions

    I would like to have some kind of "Settings" or "Preferences" to disable all annoing, time-cosuming messages that keep me off doing my tasks.

  4. Always show CollectionName in Tab. (Compass)

    The whole tab space is eaten up by the Database Name, so I can't see wich tab shows which collection. Every Tab only says "somedbname..."
    There is enough y-space in the tab to show the collection name in a seperate line, so one could navigate quickly.

  5. Live streaming logs in Atlas cluster /Compass

  6. Make Compass update notification non-blocking

    New versions are constantly available. Blocking workflow with constant prompts is frustrating. No other software does this. Put in taskbar or somewhere passive!!

  7. add option for skipping a version update

    On MacOS (ARM), add an option for "skip this version update".

    Not sure, if this issue persists in other builds as well.

    Right now, everytime compass is launched it presents an annoying popup asking for update, and the only options are install, or ask me later. If you select ask me later, it shows the popup again on next start. What is needed is an option for "Don't ask me again for this version". This is kind of a standard feature in most products.

    Thanks.

  8. Automatically pre-call `mongod --dbpath <path>` for connections to localhost.

    On Windows, whenever we connect to a localhost mongo, we need to call mongod --dbpath <db path> in a Command Prompt or Powershell prompt before clicking the "Connect" button in Compass.
    So Compass should offer the ability to automatically "pre-call" that and then perform the connection (if call was successful).

  9. Please bring back the previous dark theme (before 1.38.0)

    I updated Compass to 1.38.0 (stable) on Windows. The new dark theme is too high contrast for me and I would like to switch back to the previous dark theme. Unfortunately the themes available in this version are "Light Theme" and "Dark Theme (preview)". At this point I would rather use the Light Theme than use this modern dark theme. Please bring back the previous dark theme in addition to the modern dark theme, or give us a way to customize the theme. Thank you.

  10. Better Color indicator for different connections

    Currently, we use the colour indicator (chosen during mark favourite) on the title (connection name in the sidebar). That is helpful while working with multiple windows having different DB connections like Stage , Prod or Dev.

    But I still feel that is a very minimal implementation of a color indicator. It will be better if the connection colour indicator is reflected on the border outline of the whole window & sidebar to better distinguish between different DB connection windows.

    I am always afraid if I am mistakenly doing some change on prod DB instead of Stage DB.

    If the colour…

  12. Yellow triangle icon for "drop index" and other caution messages

    In MongoDB Compass, when I use the Drop Index functionality you get when clicking the "trash can" icon next to an index in the Indexes list on a collection, it shows a red "!" triangle icon in the upper left. That icon is used here to mean "Caution! You are about to do something dangerous!", as confirmed in Support case https://support.mongodb.com/case/01122132.

    I think it's more conventional to use red icons, especially "!" or triangles like this, to indicate that an error has occurred, and warnings or cautions are more conventionally indicated in yellow. (There's probably some UI/UX documents or…

  13. refresh

    I would like to propose new functionality to auto-refresh a collection in MongoDB Compass. For example, if I am waiting for a document to update, today I have to click refresh repetitively until the document has updated. I would like to set auto-refresh with a filter in place to be able to watch the collection as documents are updating, instead of having to click the refresh button every ~5 seconds. 

    Steps to follow:
    - Log into MongoDB
    - Open to view a collection 
    - Filter by some criteria, and click Find 
    - Click Refresh icon to reload the documents in…

  16. Expand all in JSON view should be brought back

    When in JSON view, we can previously expand all properties inside a document node by using CTRL+LEFT CLICK (or ALT+LEFT CLICK, i've forgotten).

    This feature was removed within the last year.

    Could we set the page limit when browsing a collection? For instance, increasing it from 20 to 100 per page?

  18. Save favorite collections for quick and easier access

    Working in a large company with many collections, while only several collections are relevant to your daily work can be a hassle.
    It'd be nice if there was a way to mark selected collections that would appear on top of all other collections or in a category, like the favorite connection strings or the saved queries

  19. Option to always show the Project, Sort and Collation options

    Every new tab always has the Project, Sort and Collation options hidden by default, with only the Filter input displayed. You have to click "more options" to show the additional controls.

    I understand the space-saving rationale of this, but I use the sort option for easily 90% of queries I run, which makes clicking the 'more options' every time a bit of unnecessary friction.

    Maybe you could provide an option in settings to "always show all query options"? Or remember the last expanded/contracted state, and default to opening all new tabs in the same state?

  20. Tabs disappear when dropping a view

    Regression in v1.36.2: when dropping a view (and probably a collection, I didn't check) that was an open tab, all open tabs disappear. Then they reappear if you select a collection (or view) that was opened previously. If another collection (or view) is selected, then previously opened tabs will disappear in favor to the new selection
