When launching on WIN 7 the "green leaf" icon displays briefly and then disappears and the Umongo application does not load - no additional info is displayed... just no launch and a repeat gets the same.

In reviewing the docs command line launch info is provided: Aha! this should do the trick.. no go

command line invocation (win command prompt with and without "run as Admin") returns this:

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Umongo>java -jar umongo.jar Error: Could not find or load main class com.edgytech.umongo.UMongo

Well says I - maybe it needs a path variable and did so adding the directory in which the Umongo jars reside to the WIN system path... no go - same result

Also tried: running umongo.exe with "run as admin" and with "win XP sp2" and with "special permissions" applied / no go same result...

BTW - Java versions 1.6.0_45 / 1.7 / 1.8.0_73 all installed and available and -Xms4096m (4GB) of memory allocated...

Methinks the build somehow did not include the main... current size of executable is "63 kb" seems awful small... although the driver seems to be an appropriate size (which I assume includes the "main") ...

sizes on jars: Directory of C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Umongo

The double bracket test ( [[ ]] ) is bash only (and maybe zsh and ksh), but not sh/dash, so if /bin/sh is marked on the shell script as interpreter, the test will with a: './launch-umongo.sh: 2: ./launch-umongo.sh: [[: not found'

On Linux Mint I use default system colors, no changes. Menu items in Umongo have light white background, near to white. Panels have white background. When menu is displayed over panel, text is mixed and is hard to read. Umongo is the only application that doesn't use system colors and that has so badly readable menu. Could you change it to the default system colors? This will guarantee that menus in Umongo will always be readable, because developers of the color scheme care of this.

Not a locker. But makes navigation through menu very slow, because it costs time to distinguish menu text from the text in the background panel.

Create a couple of connections. After creation they are displayed in the "Mongo Instances" panel. Now close Umongo and start again. The panel of "Mongo Instances" is empty. When you to File -> Connect, you see all your connections. I want to SEE my connections somewhere EASILY, not to search them in the menu hierarchy. Compare to MongoChef - it is much easier to find connections, single click - and you see all the connections. Better would be, if all connections were displayed in the "Mongo Instances" paned always after start. Then it would be even easier than in MongoChef.

This is not a blocker, but could make the UX much better.

The "Connect dialog" supports exactly one connection. If you need different connections to different databases or to the same database but with different users, Umongo cannot do it. There is no way to create new connection. If you want to connect to another DB, you have to change the existing connection. The new connection will work, but the old one is gone. As a workaround you have to keep separate copy of Umongo for EACH connection (for each combination of database + user).

Umongo version: 1.6.2 OS: Linux Mint 17.1 Java: JRE 1.8, Oracle
