I need to make some changes to the UI in order to support the new database drivers layer. Basically, when you click "New" from the main screen, I want a dialog to pop up and prompt you for a database name and the driver to use to create the database. Then when you click OK, you are taken to the current design screen minus the Name prompt at the top. Renaming the database would move to the database preferences dialog. I also need some suggestions on how to support converting between different drivers and also creating a data source using the schema of another database. I'm thinking of a "Duplicate" option on the main screen which will pop up a dialog asking for the new name, driver, and how much to copy ("Schema & Data", "Schema"). Can I do better? Also, new options on the chooser screen won't fit. Will it be a problem if I replace the "Open", "Del", "Info", and "Beam" buttons at the bottom of the screen with a popup list which you select an action from and then tap the database title? Icons may also be better but I cannot draw for the life of me. Or an icon next to the database title that you could tap to get list of database specific options? Tom |
