Re: How to change the number of characters allowed in a cell without erasing all the data in the table
Hello Jaroslaw,
I was so happy to hear your good news. I opened my Kexi table, went
into design view, and increased the maximum number of allowed
characters for each of my fields of type "text", from 200 to 1000.
Went again clicked on the tab to switch back to data view, I got the
below message. On the basis of the below, I had to discard the
changes I had made, by clicking on "Discard design". You wrote below
that this problem was fixed a long time ago. Are you sure about
that? Or if there is another way to do this aside from what I did,
please let me know.
Thanks

Hello
Swarup
Thanks for the
question. For quite long time already (3.0?) KEXI does not
require removal or recreation of the table if modified
property is of such non-fundamental kind. So no worries
here.
I would very much like to increase
the number of characters allowed in each cell, or remove
the limit altogether. But cannot afford to lose my data.
Also
no worries here. If removal or recreation of the table is
required KEXI _always_ tells you that and asks for
confirmation prior to the change. You then have the
opportunity to abandon changes made to the project
recently.

Sorry, I've been away from keyboard for several days.

Will the version of Kexi which is included have the following features: -Ability to add rows to the middle of a table which is already in existence I see how it may be usable. It's not supported now. Database table is not a spreadsheet's sheet, so the order is defined by current sorting, for given column, based on contents. Even if we have this feature, placement of a new row would be kept until another sorting or re-opening the table view. This my be the reason why I know no software that supports the feature. MS Access has this feature, and has had it for many, many years. All the features I asked about are long-held features of MS Access. I migrated from Windows to Linux ten years ago and have been with Linux systems ever since, but these features of MS Access are things I sorely miss. My brother also works on Ubuntu on his Mac, and has installed Parallels (virtual software) so he could install Windows, just so that he could use MS Access. -Ability to add columns to the middle of a table which is already in existence Yes, it has been available for a long time. But table is recreated then from scratch without prior data. We're collecting funds for this big development: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/26881135-add-support-for-alter-table-s-design-without-losing-data It it destroys all the data, the feature is of no use. Again, this has been a standard feature of MSA for many, many years. One can do any sort of manipulation of an MSA table: rearrange rows, rearrange columns, rename columns, add new rows and columns in the middle of pre-existing tables, highlight and copy-paste sections of the table and past it in other sections of the table. The MSA table is so fluid and flexible. And it is this very maneuverability that Liinux users still write about and lament the loss of when they moved to Linux. -Ability to change the name of a column in an existing table. (Currently this requires going into the data view, with the warning that making any changes will wipe out all the data in the table) It's unsupported like the above. -Ability to move existing rows/columns in a table which is already in existence This wish is reported, feel free to vote for it. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361362 My intent here was not at all to rub Kexi's nose in the dirt; I know you are working hard and I appreciate the progress you've made. I only raised the subject as you said you'd never seen any DB software that has the row-adding feature. In my mind, if I have to describe the ideal DB software today though, it does still remain MSA. If you are able to replicate the amazing features in MSA, you will have truly created an amazing tool for Linux users.

Or are you saying you don't know what version of Kexi it will install?

But have you tried this advice? http://www.askmetutorials.com/2016/02/install-calligra-office-suite-2911-on.html Now this is very exciting indeed. I will definitely try this-- right now. Do I need to first uninstall my existing version of Kexi? And if so, can I use the Ubuntu software manager to do the install? Or can I leave the current install in place and install 2.9.11 alongside it? There can be only one version installed in one system, and the system would only propose installation is newer version is found. I just now uninstalled kexi using the Ubuntu software manager, and then followed the listed tutorial for the new install of Calligra 2.9.11. But to my surprise, it merely re-installed the very same old version which I've had for ages (Kexi Version 2.8.5, Using KDE Platform Version 4.14.13).

being the case, let me just ask the following questions:
I can't see updates for even new Ubuntu on this web page, 2.9.7 is too
old:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/kexi
Does this mean that 16.04 is going to install an old version of kexi?
Or are you saying you don't know what version of Kexi it will install?
There's contact email kubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com
<mailto:kubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com> to the developers where yo
ucan ask for help.
But have you tried this advice?
http://www.askmetutorials.com/2016/02/install-calligra-office-suite-2911-on.html
Now this is very exciting indeed. I will definitely try this-- right now.
Do I need to first uninstall my existing version of Kexi? And if so, is
it ok to use the Ubuntu software manager to do the *uninstall *?
Or can I leave the current install in place and install 2.9.11 alongside it?
1. By upgrading to 16.04 LTS, will I get the latest finalized
version of Kexi? Or if not, which version of Kexi will be included
in Ubuntu 16.04?
2. Will the version of Kexi which is included have the following
features:
-Ability to add rows to the middle of a table which is already in
existence
-Ability to add columns to the middle of a table which is already
in existence
-Ability to change the name of a column in an existing table.
(Currently this requires going into the data view, with the
warning that making any changes will wipe out all the data in the
table)
-Ability to move existing rows/columns in a table which is already
in existence
Have these features not yet been developed then?
Thanks,
Swarup

Hello there,
Any improvements made in providing ability for Ubuntu users to upgrade
to
later versions? I'm still stuck in--
Kexi Version 2.8.5
Hi
I am sorry that ubuntu offers no such support for free software.
Upgrading the OS can be an option.
Or requesting support from ubuntu or someone who can develop a backport.
This can be requested on an ubuntu forum.
Hi,
A modern way of distributing software may help us soon:
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/04/ubuntu-16-04-lts-snap-packages
Looks wonderful-- I am really looking forward to the day when
I'll be able to upgrade kexi versions. The version I have
right now is so dysfunctional. Any time the mouse crosses
from the left side of the screen into the left side of the
table, it makes the table jump to the top. This is endlessly
frustrating and a huge waste of time. Say I am working in row
#750, the mouse moves across the left border of the table and
all of a sudden the table jumps to row#1. If there is any fix
for this, please advise.
All this was long ago fixed.
My advice is to upgrade the OS or install another copy in a
virtual machine or different computer. Regardless of availability
of the Snap packages, staying with outdated software on LTS
platforms will be always a compromise. It's not a problem for
apps that do not evolve much anymore but Kexi is actively
developed and users are hungry for features :)
We'll be looking for a way when practically every week new
updates appear for Kexi.
There are so many software packages which update regularly every
week with the Ubuntu update manager-- it happens automatically. If
Kexi could be incorporated into this feature, it would be great.
OK. Do you mean official packages from Canonical or do you have
unofficial repositories added?
As for upgrading the OS, the Final Version of the new Ubuntu LTS
16.04 is coming out on April 21. My current LTS 14.04 is in all
other regards functioning wonderfully, and I would have no other
reason to upgrade given my own specific usage patterns and needs.

Re: [Kexi] When cursor crosses border between Project Navigator and Table Data it abruptly shifts table to beginning
I have upgraded to Kexi 2.8.5 successfully. The problem described below remains unchanged. I cannot imagine that anyone who is facing this issue would want to use Kexi in this condition. Let's say a table has 500 rows, and you are looking at row #230. If your cursor happens to cross the border between the table data and the project manager (as inevitably occurs in the process of normal work), the table abruptly jumps to row number one. It becomes impossible to do any work. Please let me know about this.

[Kexi] How to select (highlight) one column in Kexi 1.1.3?
Hello, I am using Kexi 1.1.3 (KOffice 1.6.3), and have a table of around 500 rows. I need to be able to highlight one full column for: 1. printing the data in that column only; 2. copy/pasting the data in that column into another application, for example OO Writer. I would also like to be able to highlight part of the column for the same above two purposes-- for example say, 25 rows only of one column, for copy/paste or for printing. How does one carry out the above? It does not seem to highlight when I make the attempt. Thanks! Swarup ___ Kexi mailing list Kexi@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kexi
