There is no 'crash' window, kexi evaporates totally. I have just revisited this (as superuser) Insert a 'text box' into blank area of page and it crashes That is widget 4 from left on 'Form Design' tab Insert a 'text editor' into blank area of page and we are up, up, & away!

If I drop a 'text box' onto the form then it crashes kexi which disappears totally. I use the 'text editor' (abcd button) to create the box and can then assign that to a field. > > > Whether I look at my main postgresql database or one created in SqLite > > the situation is the same. > > That's true, the incompatibility is withing forms so it's independent > of the data source type. > > We plan to have flexible layouts that would cover the use case of > autofields better. > > To make life easier for users of Kexi 1.x I just came to conclusion > that AutoFiels should be somehow 'imported' as labels+text boxes.

That's true, the incompatibility is withing forms so it's independent of the data source type. We plan to have flexible layouts that would cover the use case of autofields better. To make life easier for users of Kexi 1.x I just came to conclusion that AutoFiels should be somehow 'imported' as labels+text boxes. It would be for Kexi 2.4.1 or so. -- regards / pozdrawiam, Jaroslaw Staniek http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek Kexi & Calligra (kexi-project.org, identi.ca/kexi, calligra-suite.org) KDE Software Development Platform on MS Windows (windows.kde.org) ___ Kexi mailing list Kexi@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kexi
[Kexi] Kexi on Ubuntu 10.10
Hi, Last time I wrote we weren't there, now we are and I have upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 and have Kexi 2.2.2 running. (See thread started by Swarup 24 March 2011) "How to add a column to table in Kexi 1.1.3?). My databases were created using Kexi 1. Would I be right in suspecting that there are incompatibilities with these and Kexi 2 and that I will have to create a new database using Kexi 2 ? We can connect and view data in the main database table and queries but the original data entry form is no-go. In Data view we get a page layout of 'KexiDBAutoField's but no data. In Design view I see no fields in the Property Editor and thus no way of assigning fields to the display, or even of creating a new form. The following is given in the Property Editor. "No datasource can be assigned for this widget" so it looks like it does not read from the existing. Whether I look at my main postgresql database or one created in SqLite the situation is the same. thanks if you can point me in the right direction.
