Show a useful icon in SQL tabs #2153

Other than these two minor points I don't see any problem with this. We might want to add two extra icons for this purpose though because I think if I didn't know about the meaning of these icons I wouldn't have guessed it correctly. On the other hand I couldn't find better icons either 😉 So feel free to merge this with the current icons - fixing a bug is more important than good looking icons I guess 😄

No, sorry. A test leftover.

Can you remove that comment, now that it is outdated? Or better yet, update it to explain that the tab data value means 😄
The icon shows whether the tab is linked to a project file (open_sql icon) or to a file in disk (document_open icon). This has a lateral effect of fixing this, since the tab always has an icon and the height of the tab bar never changes: #2073 (comment)

@MKleusberg I've fixed the observations and I propose another icon, which we already had but without use. |
|
I've merged this to master, since the observations had been fixed and now we have a 3.12.x version and the decision to merge it to that release can be taken later. |
|
Thanks, @mgrojo! And sorry for the delay on my side 😇 |
|
Don't worry! You had already reviewed it. Should we consider it as candidate for 3.12.x? I fear spartan users who never seem to have enough space, though 😉 |
|
Yeah, let's include it in 3.12.x because besides being more useful it somewhat fixes the multithreading code we introduce in that release 😄 |

I had this change in my local repository and don't want to merge it so close to the release without some feedback. The code changes are minimal, but I'm not sure about whether we want icons there, or what icons should be used. For #2073 there is probably other solution, but I was thinking some time ago that it would be nice to have a visual way to know whether the tab is saved in a file or in the project file. At some time we might also want to have SQL files saved in the project file as a reference to an external file, and not as a saved text embedded in the project.
