Bug #: 53984
Summary: To use a database/odb-file needs a registration in
LibreOffice
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.6.1.1 rc
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Database
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The odb-file "ReportBuilder_Textfields_without_Contentmarker.odb" (see attach
1) can´t be used without a registration in LibreOffice.
"can´t be used" means:
odb-file can be opened, but the table "Article" and/or the report "Report"
can´t be opened.
OS: Windows XP or Windows 7 64 bit
### Important information ###
After registration odb-file can be opened (logically). But:
After de-registration, i.e. removing the odb-file in Tools -> Options ->
LibreOffice Base -> Database -> Registered databases, and open the odb-file
again the odb-file works fine, i.e. the table "Article" and/or the report
"Report" can be opened.
This problem have discussed on German discuss-ML [1] and on international QA-ML
[2].

Consens concerning the following question: "If a database-file (odb-file) is
opened must this database be registered in LibreOffice?"
No.
IMHO an non-registered database must not result in an error (non-usability) or
even crash/destroy data (= bug). Either this odb-file will be processed (user
friendliest solution) or it is a message that this odb-file must be registered
first (= feature).
Alex Thurgood comments:
I encountered the problem to which you are referring on Linux 64bit with
Robert's file. However, I had no such problem on Mac OSX. This was why I
registered the ODB file with LO on Linux before attempting to open it
again. This may have been particular to my setup, or the file in question.
Note that on Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Apple's file manager defaults
freshly downloaded files passed directly to an app as read-only, under
some kind of lame security policy, which forces the user to re-set the
write bit by hand or else move the file elsewhere (which seems to
automatically reset the read/write bits). However, this doesn't seem to
happen on OSX 10.8, and I can't compare with 10.7 because I didn't keep
it on my machine for very long
