I open Compass, and I get presented the connection string view with placeholder text, which is great. Then I switch to form, I don’t change any fields and I switch back to the connection string view. At this point, the connection string field is filled with mongodb://localhost:27017/?readPreference=primary&appname=MongoDB%20Compass%20Dev&ssl=false. Can we not do that? If I left everything empty, I’d expect to still find everything empty
The connect string that you fill by default, contains our friend the appname parameter. If I set that to monkey, then the thinks that the application monkey dev is connecting. We should not allow the user to change that value, we should always override it with our application name before connecting to the server
why when I switch between connection string mode to form mode do I see a progress indicator ( switch.mov ), even when I did not paste any connect string in? Can we skip the parsing if the URI is empty end just clean the form?
