  1. Timer in compass

    When I run explain, I want to have a timer showing me the time elapsed since I executed the query. It will help me understand my latency delays and also a rough time estimation when I forgot to use explain

  2. Retain side bar sizing

    It would greatly enhance the UI to have the sidebar retain its size, i.e. if I drag it to make it wider to fit my collection names comfortably, it should ideally retain and restore that size.

    It would also be extremely useful to have the ability to close all active tabs at once. I sometimes have multiple tabs open. As a workaround, I exit Compass and restart it without having to close each individual tab. But then the sidebar issue comes at play.

  3. Enable us to see values of expressions in aggregation pipelines

    I've got a pipeline that often does a lot of collecting and combining values. What I get out of it is wrong but I have no way of knowing which part is broken since I can't see the values its collecting and the results of its maths until the final outcome.

    Could you add some sort of value reading to the aggregation pipeline builder?

  4. Make upsert or drop on import document

    It would be great to be able to make what we are importing overwrite the database data, or directly perform a drop before importing. These options should be optional when importing documents.

  5. Right-click context menu for Mongosh console window in Compass

    Hi, Mongo folks,

    I've been using the mongosh window in Compass lately (the dark-background ">_MONGOSH" panel at the bottom), and having a bit of inconvenience with text editing.

    Because AFAIK, Compass doesn't have a "script editor" window like SSMS or some IDEs where you can edit a file and execute it, I end up doing a lot of copy-and-pasting between Compass's Mongosh pane and external text editors. I also do a lot of scrolling up and down because the JSON output of Mongo queries and operations tends to be long.

    This text copy-and-pasting is a little incovenient, because I have…

  6. Self-hosted version of compass

    Since compass frontend is web, it would be great to be able to self host it on a server, to access it directly in browser.

    The idea is to be able to work from devices that can't install electron, like iPadOS, android directly in browser or as PWA.

  7. Remember "Expand all fields" output option between pages

    When viewing documents returned by the aggregation pipeline, selecting the Output option of "Expand all fields" works for the page you are currently viewing, but changing pages means you need to click "Expand all fields" again for each page.

    It would be good if Compass remembered that "Expand all fields" was active, and kept this on for all pages in the results.

  8. Add new field to document hidden

    When pressing the + button to add a new field at the very last one when there is the option to show more fields, the inputs for the new one will be hidden under the 'show more'. There is no reason for this, and it could cause a lot of confusion.

  9. Disable the cache feature from Compass

    Every time I click some on some collection, I don't receive the actual data from the database but the cached data. In my opinion, that should not be like that, because that makes me clicking constantly on the refresh button.

    If I click a collection then I want the latest and updated data from the database.

    One example:
    - I open the Compass GUI tool and I click on some collection to see its data.
    - I switch to the application that is doing things and executing actions in the database using their own link.
    - I switch to Compass,…

  10. flatpack

    Hi,

    I have noticed in the documentation that compass .deb is for Ubuntu (is Debian not supported officially?),
    But as Debian (the distro I use), there are thousands of other distros unsupported.
    So I suggest to pack everything with flatpack (or, at least AppImage), since it is a portable format valid for all distros.

    Regards

  11. Optional ID search fallback for ObjectID

    If I search { _id: 'd7hw803h2ihdf3h97298dh3' } and the query returns nothing, I should have the option to re-query but with this instead: { _id: ObjectId('d7hw803h2ihdf3h97298dh3') } and there should be a toggle switch to automatically do this re-querying when there's an empty result.

    There's no reason not to have this, it's very easy to implement, and it would be some nice quality of life.

  13. vertical monitor half-snap width

    When I use Windows 11's "Snap to Half Screen" on a vertically-oriented monitor, about 2 inches of the Compass window are cut off-screen on the right, including the red X to close the window.

    Most apps don't have this issue. In fact, of all my apps, Compass is the only one with the problem.

    Also, Compass does not show this problem when I snap to full screen. In that case it shrinks the width properly to fit.

  15. File structure for connections

    Groups for connections, so that it can be more organised.
    Maybe let us use an image for the group too?
    Look at TablePlus for inspiration 💪

  17. merge collections and rename fields

    Create wizard to merge multiple collections and rename specific fields/arrays/documents. This is useful when migrating data from other databases (not ones supported by relational migrator).

  18. Global search query filter

    Use case: When we work on Mutli tenant-based system, we have Account Id is common in all collections. When we search multiple collections needs to add filter accounted in every search.
    Feature: If we have global filter, we can add common filters and easily search in every collections.
