Bug ID: 148192
Summary: Create a new option External Firebird file under
Create new database
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Currently, in the first step of the database wizard, three options are
available.
When selecting the first option, *Create* a new database, if the experimental
functionalities have been enabled, it proposes two options Firebird embedded
and HSQLDB embedded (but it does not propose to create an external Firebird
archive).
However, if we select the third option, Connect to an *existing* database, in
the next step, we can connect to an existing Firebird file (by selecting the
Browse button) but in addition we have a *Create new* button, which allows us
to create a new external Firebird file.
This behavior can mislead the user, who does not see the way to create a new
Firebird database file in the option that should correspond to it (Create a new
database) while the option to create the database is in Connect to an
*existing* file.
So I believe that adding a new entry under Create new database that allows you
to create an external Firebird database and at the same time removing the
Create new button from Connect to an existing database would improve the user
experience by having the options in the places where they should be expected.
In addition, the user would have the two options for creating Firebird
databases (embedded and external) in the same place, allowing them to decide
which is best option
