"Later" (when we get a volunteer) we >> can make it so that people can mix and match (that is, report builder *adds* >> possibilities instead of *replacing* them). > I don't follow, completely lost you ;-) LibreOffice has *two* report engines for Base. The "legacy" report engine and the "new" report builder. The report builder used to be an extension, and thus one could choose to install it or not. The choice not to install it was important because the mere installation of report builder made the legacy report engine unavailable: no way anymore to create a new legacy report from scratch or by wizard. So, in Base of LibreOffice 4.0 and earlier, after one clicks on "Reports" in the left pane: Report builder not installed: - upper right pane "create report in design view" creates a new blank legacy report - upper right pane "use wizard to create report" creates a new legacy report Report builder installed: - upper right pane "create report in design view" creates a new blank reportbuilder report - upper right pane "use wizard to create report" creates a new legacy reportbuilder report PROBLEM 1 With LibreOffice 4.1.0.beta: Report builder installed: - Upper right pane "use wizard to create report" creates a new *legacy* report This is a regression, and makes creation of reportbuilder report by wizard UNAVAILABLE. PROBLEM 2 *IF* report builder is not an OPTIONAL component, it is now impossible to get into state "Report builder not installed", and thus (after PROBLEM 1 is fixed) *impossible* to create legacy report! This is a regression. PROBLEM 3 Having report builder merely installed should not make legacy report creation unavailable, it should give *new* choices (*new* entries in the upper right pane, not change behaviour of existing ones). This is *not* a regression, but fixing this will make problems 1 and 2 go away. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
