I am opening this discussion so that everyone can post here the issues they encounter with the Ninext plugin version starting from version 3.x.

If you are using Ninext version 2.x, please post your message here instead: https://forum.ninox.com/t/p8h78zv/ninext-project

    1.

    When the Ninext console is open, it hides the table tools. It would be great if it could remain visible without blocking access to other controls while developing.

    2.

    On uninstalling plugins, what changes in the database schema are expected and which implications might that have? Ninox is showing me a warning, but not telling me, what the actual risk is.

    3.

    I love the copy-paste functionality for fields. 🙏

      1. Ninext console hiding table tools

      Yes, this issue is already known by the Ninox team. They are currently working on a fix so that the console can remain open without blocking access to the table tools during development.

      In the meantime, you can install the classic version of Ninext, which does not have this behavior:

      1. Uninstalling plugins and impact on the database schema

      When you uninstall Ninext, the database schema (tables, fields, relations) is not removed or structurally modified. Your data remains intact.

      However, you will lose all features injected by Ninext, including:

      • Badges on files, tabs, and buttons

      • Interception of onclick events on fields and views

      • Modules related to custom events (viewEvent, buttonEvent, etc.)

      • JavaScript calls using the #{ ... }# syntax

      The most critical point concerns these JavaScript calls:
      if your application relies on them for essential logic (calculations, automations, specific interactions), those parts will stop working after uninstallation.

      Additionally, some workspace-related settings will also be lost, such as:

      • The field selected during the last session

      • Filters defined in Code Finder

      • Custom representations created in the Schema tab

      These elements do not affect your data, but they may impact your development workflow and organization.

      The Ninox warning message is therefore preventive: it indicates that a plugin may affect functionality, without specifying exactly what. Before uninstalling, it is recommended to check whether your application uses #{...}# calls, extended events, or important interface customizations.


      1. Field copy-paste functionality

      Thank you 😊
      Yes, this feature really makes life easier. Many of us truly appreciate it!
