Ah. Thanks for the hint. I have models for all tables... BUT the schema generator does not find them all since some are in plugins and some are in sub-foldes of app/ models. I guess tables matching these models are the cause of the problem.
So in reality, schema shell is only fully usable in apps that do not have plugins, multiple dbs or sub-folders inside models. Oh, and all table must follow Cake's conventions to the letter. E.g. can't have a table without a pk for example. I kind of liked the idea of the schema shell. Being abel to keep just one schema file and letting Git do the versioning feel just right next to the rails-type schema files. So I guess I will have to start plowing the source to see if I can make it behave with my schema after a reasonable amount of work. /Martin On Mar 25, 2:07 pm, "Ian M.
