Congrats on the new IntelliJ plugin version, the Apollo Normalized Cache tool is amazing ❤️
I have some feedback about it, if I may 🧵

[bod]

Thanks! And of course, feedback is very welcome!

1. The Pull from device -> Device -> All packages should probably be sorted alphabetically, I get a seemingly random order
2. For packages with more than one DB file, there are two DBs listed per row 🙈 (see screenshot). I am rocking the new Android Studio UI, maybe related?
3. Our Apollo cache DB filename doesn't have an extension, would it be possible somehow to have it listed among the entries when pulling from the device, so one wouldn't have to manually pull the file, rename and then open it? I imagine looking at all the files in the databases directory, if there is a filename_without_extension and filename_without_extension-journal, that is a strong indicator that filename_without_extension is a DB 😄

1. good idea!
2. woops it's a bug. The way it works under the hood is by executing adb shell ls <db path> ... maybe a -l is missing there
3. it's filtering by *.db ... to not show too many useless files. But maybe it should filter out the known bad ones (*-journal, etc.) instead?

[bod]

or maybe yes, use your trick 😄

[bod]

would you mind opening an issue (if not that's ok)

[Eduard Boloș]

Not sure how reliable my trick would be, it was just an example to illustrate alternatives. Filtering out might be better 🤷‍♂️

I can open an issue later. Should I open one issue for all three things, three separate issues, or only an issue for point 3.?

[bod]

one issue is enough, no worries 👍
