Hi Dan,
All changes and bug fixes are aleady documented with each release. You can find these in the 'Release Notes' in the
Plum Help file. I have found these to be adequate for me, but if you find this approach lacking, I think Adam and David
would listen to any good suggestions.
Best,
Jeff

Would it be appropriate then to recommend that Documentation and Help
Topics be a “downloable Update”
Adam and David could, upon verification on their end that a Doc item
should be changed, make that change to a “working copy” of the Doc’s and
then make that file downloadable for self-installation/update to a
user’s Plum IDE.
This way as “simple” issues, but bottlenecks never-the-less, in the
Documentation come up, they can be “fixed” right away so all past,
present, and future users of Plum will benefit. Since Adam and David
will control the “working file” for the Docs they in a sense are in
control of the Help we rely on within the application.

*Subject:* RE: [plum] How to Add a New Table
This is a known bug I reported a couple months ago. You are supposed to
be able to create a table manually, without using synchronize, You can
actually do this, but the validation messages make it painful. The
trick is to create the table, click off on another node, come back and
right click to add a new column, click off again. click on the table and
add the NewColumn field as the primary key. Once you do this, you
should be able to avoid error messages and rename the column to whatever
your primary key field is. Then you can add additional columns,
relations etc. fine after that.
It's ugly to do, but doable. I am sure this will be on the list for 1.1
fixes.

I agree. Maybe send Adam/David a request to clirify the
documentation about adding tables.

That's exactly what I ended up doing. But the Plum Help docs sure
don't seem to make that clear. In re-reading the Help on New Table
it does say "…adds a new table to your project…" So I would guess
then that project in this sentence means your *.Plum project and NOT
your "what you are working on as is commonly referred to as a project"
Assuming that this is in fact the case, I would recommend that the
Help docs at this point state (something like) "Before selecting New
Table from the Database node you must first have added/created the
table in your database. The database node Right-Click menu ONLY
adds an existing database table to your Plum project file."

I don't think this feature works as you intend it to. I beleive the
table has to exist already in the database.
Create the table/columns etc on the database and synchronize the db.

How do you Add a New Table to your database from the Plum IDE?
In Plum IDE, I right-click on the Database node
This gives me a NewTable form
I enter the Table Name
The Singular and Plural Labels
But then ???
There are two boxes for the Primary Key, but are empty.
I righ-click on "New Table" in the nodes tree and select New Column
and get
"You must choose at least one column for this table's primary key.
Click OK to return to the form and correct the erro, or click Cancel
to cancel your changes."
Don't know how to proceed ??? Can't add anything to the NewTable
form and can't Right-Click to add a new column.
Can anyone help?
