Hi Marc, thanks for your feedback, too!
(I will spare this for the next people, I think. Whoever answers here: please accept my ahead-hurrying thanks :) > - add missing query types (append, update, create table) already existent as "Query design: support UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE in graphical view" > - make reporting working and easily usable for low and mid complexity > tasks (not having tested it for a few months) sorry, that's too unspecific. You know, "make Base better" is already covered - the result of making this concrete is in the feature pool. What I need from you guys is more concrete items we forgot about. > - at least investigate the effort of having foreign tables linked > into .odb besides it's main data source for access to external data > without importing and synchronization problems already existent as "link tables from different sources (aka DBs) into one database." > - make import from a calc table (copy and paste) respect the column > format for setting the column type (i.e. using "datetime" if data in > calc is formatted as "date") noted. If I understand this correctly, it's pretty similar to "when connecting to a spreadsheet, re-use the column format (formatting, alginment, etc.) of the spreadsheet cell", just that we talk about copy'n'paste here. > - make the form and control properties window more visible (maybe > dockable like the "navigator") noted. > - make the styles used by the form creation wizard available for later > reuse when creating additional controls (maybe it is, I didn't find it - > but when switching style in the wizard background colors and the like > are different from the default creational params of new controls) Not exactly the same, but: we already have a "styles for form controls" in the pool. Would you agree that such styles, when also used by the wizard, would solve the problem, and, on the other hand, to reasonably solve the problem one would need control styles? > - make attaching macros to controls easier and shorter, currently the > dialog is three or four layers deep and I've got to buy a new mouse > every now and then ;) noted. > To do for developers > -------------------- > - knit together the last loose ends for making application development > easily possible (although I think that's mostly done) Too unspecific :) But I'd say most of what I personally think is necessary for this is on the "Feature Pool" page already. > To do for the base dev team at Sun > ---------------------------------- > - throw a big party with free beer for the dev team and their relatives > and friends at least after each release, better would be once a month Excellent, very specific, thank you :) Ciao Frank -- - Frank Schönheit, Software Engineer [email protected] - - Sun Microsystems http://www.sun.com/staroffice - - OpenOffice.org Base http://dba.openoffice.org - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
