Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 48450
Unneccessary options, too many steps to create new database
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:36:27 UTC
New database wizard asks if open for editing. I think this should always be the case, and need not to be asked. Users can always close the window later. There's no need to give too many unneccessary options. I think by default, just open the "Base". On the file menu, user can choose to open the DB creation wizard. On the option menu, users can specify if this is shown when the the Base is run. If so, the base is started up and shown. Then the wizard is shown. For the file menu, there should be 2 create new database menu items: a) Create new database (this will be a hsqldb), no option other than file name is needed here. b) Connect to existing database. The purpose of this is to shorten the number of step to reach users' goal.
thanks for reporting this! defect -> enhancement
