Get your shit together, Google (opens in new tab)

A better question would be: Is the function of adding an additional namespace an API call? And if it's not, why not?

Doing this type of action through a web interface when you've had to do it hundreds of times is already terribly inefficient, it'd be much better to do it programmatically.

There are other major problems in the appengine console. For example, clicking “Datastore Admin” is supposed to open the admin console in an iframe. It simply doesn’t work.

Digging into the code I see that the issue is “Unable to open XXXX in a frame because it set ‘X-Frame-Options’ to ‘DENY’.”

I can tease out the URL and then open in a new tab but a huge portion of users will never think to do this.

It’s appalling. We reported it a year and a half ago and still no fix. We pay thousands of dollars a month for appengine but no one will fix it.

I dunno if I would call it lazy html, but more likely that they have a bunch of code/libraries compiling views or templates, which is causing the ugliness.

I know that we have pretty ugly html in our product because we have to do a lot of bullshit to get it working cross-browser and cross-platform.
