🚀 Feature Proposal

So my first confusion with trying to use this was the following:
Image

Connection name is required: where is this connection name supposed to be?
No visual helpers to let me know where to look or what to fill in and no clear label on that field.

Options: maybe a red border surrounding the field that is missing, or maybe even default to something like:
Connection1 or TypeOfDatabase1

Or maybe even better:
MySQL (hostname)
Or:
hostname MySQL.

If no name is given.

Or prompt for the name ?

You can always change te name later.

Image

Next error:
This error doesn't have the fields that have to be selected on the same screen.

Maybe make Save -> Next for the MySQL interface when adding the connection.
Since you have to select databases for it to work.

Or default to first / all databases that the user account has rights to.

Then Postgress very different interface, why can I only pick one database there?

Motivation

There are a lot of choices here I feel that there is room for improvement but unsure what you would like best :)
