Here is another one ...

(0.3.3beta 8.November 2001, Iconic with MobileDB, without plugins)

* After deleting a record, the list view scrolls to the very=20
  end of the view. It should IMHO show the next record of the=20
  deleted record=20

* Re-applying a filter to a changed database does not work:
  - Define a filter (e.g. "X" on filter 1; all fields).
  - edit a found record, so that no more "X" is contained
  - after returning to the list view, the just edited record is still
    visible (althoug it does not contain the filter expression=20
    any longer)
  - selecting the filter 1 does not help (the "X"-less record is=20
    still visible.
  - selecting "Filter none" (all Records are now visible) and=20
    reselecting "filter 1" still shows the "X"-less record.

* - Leave a database with a filter active
  - reenter the database. The list view still shows, that the filter is
    active; but the filter-drop-down-box shows "Filter none".

* sorting with find does not work always:
  - Databse with 2 Records; one string field; records "a" and "b".
  - Sort ascending, Filter None; List view shows:
       "a"
       "b"
  - Find string "b"; List view shows:
       "b"
  - "Sort descending" by tapping the colomn name. List view shows:
       "a"
    (and only the "a"-record)!
  - now selecting "Filter None" the List view shows:
       "a"
       "a"
    !

* After editing a record the list view shows always the first column,
  even if the list view showed the 20th column before starting editing
  the record.=20

* Linkfield:
  - create a Database with only one link field to a Stringfield=20
  - create a new record. Select a record in the linked database which
    contains a long text (say 220 characters).
  - save the record
  - edit this record and tap on the only field inside (the link-field=20
    to the long string)
  - Fatal exception

* A newly created List View is named "All Fields". This collides with=20
  the name of the automatic view "All Fields", which is present in every
  DB (BTW: a fine feature!). It is not an error, because it works, but
  the same names are disturbing.

* Plugin name "DB2" can be confused with name of IBM's Database "DB2".
  Maybe use "DB V.0.2" instead.

* Plugins (Mobile-DB, Jfile, DB2) didn't show in the list, while=20
  trying the DB-version without any plugins compiled in. I can not=20
  reproduce that every time.


Whishlist (in order of importance to me) (in the case somebody got to
much time :-)):

* Lookup function like in the adressbook for the last sorted coloumn

* Filter and sort setting stored together with the list views

* Seperate Filter name for the last used find ("Filter none"=20
  "last find" "Filter 1" "Filter 2" ...)

* Filter drop down list: append the corresponding findstring to=20
  each filter, so we can remember the function of the filter. Or
  allow a free name for the filter.=20

* Additional Find first / find next (like in the Mobile DB mode)

* New indiators for List view's horizontal scrolling for jumping=20
  fast to beginning (first column) and to the end (last column)=20
  of the view ( << and >>)

* Properties for every field:
    - Mandatory / optional=20
    - optional default value (e.g. "Now" for time; "Today" for Date)
    - optional max length for strings

* Listfields possible-value-list optional editable during record-edition

* Notefield contains a string field too. Wouldn't it be nice, if=20
  this string field isn't editable, but contains the first line=20
  of the content of the note? (That would break existing Databases=20
  with note fields)

* optional regexpression for filter

* Find dialog layout. Instead of=20
       V Filter1  [] Add the filter =20
  use better
       [] Add the filter  V Filter1=20
  this would be a little bit more logical (as least to me)
