1.15 dev: DB designer and new table create

From
Colin Beckingham
Date:
I see there have been some changes to the DD, relationships arrow now 
disappears when one table removed from the diagram. Nice.

In DD, click "Add empty table" icon to enter details in properties form. 
Dialog appears which has no title bar, is modal (correct), is not 
draggable (except by dragging the parent window) and does not have a 
close window X.

OK button is already active even though no details, even default, have 
been entered. So is 'generate short table name' button. Help button is 
active but does not do anything.

Clicking the OK button even with no details entered causes the dialog 
title bar to appear with draggability and close X.

I thought in previous versions a default 'tableX' table name was 
entered, then having 'OK' and 'generate' buttons active on open makes 
some sense.

We haven't done anything on this part. I'm afraid you simply didn't hit
the bug this time.

Kinda weird. Anyway, the whole dialog is supposed to be redesigned. I
intend to work on it this week-end.

That is something I did: get rid of the autonaming for tables and
columns.
