Hi Matthias, > For instance, it would be a good start to remove "Database" from the > quickstarter pop-up and the File/New dialog. How would I do that?
Latest builds have a possibility to remove "Base" from the installation during setup, just as you can do with the other applications. For now, this basically only implies that the "New database" entries are removed from various places, including the ones you mentioned. Additionally, the data source browser (F4) is removed, and you cannot open DB files from the File|Open dialog. See [1] for details. If you only want to remove the menu entries, but not the DSB - Hmm. Not sure if this is possible, other people might know more about it. Removing things like the database registration (Tools|Options|Databases) is not possible ATM. (Completely removing it would not really be an option, since the other applications currently in parts rely on registered databases to work on, instead of database documents.) > And maybe there's a way to disable the Base GUI completely? None except disabling it in the setup, with exactly the consequences described in [1]. > Any other ideas how I can make life more difficult for users who want > to use the Base GUI? One could manually de-register certain UNO services, so that certain functionality becomes unavailable. This could include at least all services which are necessary for the UI. If the above doesn't fit your needs, this would be the way to go. However, since this is not really a supported way, there might remain artifacts in the UI. For instance, users maybe can do File|New|Database, and then be confronted with an error message only.
