Fan and CPU usage explodes using this app. See https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/48311 Please try to refactor this app with Tauri.

can't connect to neo4j database

Provide a button to take someone to the logs for the desktop client. I've found that neo4j is occasionally dying, and I have no idea yet why. I need to chase down the logs, and it would be helpful to have a button to at least launch a cmd to the directory where they're stored, or a File Explorer to said directory. For query results, clear the previous node graph even, and especially when there's no results for the new query. This will help clear confusion.

It should be the simplest thing to import a dump file. It's such basic stuff to fall down on. Something like "Create database from dump file" > "Select your dump file", "Name your database (with option to overwrite the default neo4j database) > Done. It would be great if you could revisit that. Thanks.

Currently, it is possible to open the neo4j.conf file for edition from the Desktop UI. My suggestion is to enable the same feature for the apoc.conf file at the Plugins page.

After I have connected to the instance in Neo4j Desktop 2.0.4, I can no longer select one of my four databases. It is not greyed out or anything like that. When I click on it, I stay on it for 0.5 seconds and is then thrown back into the previously selected database. Restart instance did not work. I'll try re-importing via .dump next
