Save Query Designer State?
Hello,
A while ago I asked this:
When the user creates a query using the query designer (dragging and connecting tables) can the layout of this be saved, so that they
aren't shown an SQL query which they don't understand if they later edit that report?
The answer then was no, have you made any progress on this? It seems like a fairly simple task to save the state of the windows, which joins are there and which tables / fields. I don't expect you to update this if they switch to SQL view and make changes, in this case the ability to return to designer view is not necessary.
What I would like to do is disable SQL view altogether and present my end users with the query designer only, but currently if I did this, when they edit a report they woould have to keep rebuilding the queries.
Any updates on this?

We plan to implement this feature in the next major build. I think it will be ready in 2-3 months.
Is this now implemented in 1.4?
Thanks,
Anthony
