Re: [XMLPipeDB-developer] Streamlined wizard UI

[John D. N. D. <do...@lm...>]

Greetings,

Hope the sleep has done you well, and given you some fresh energy toward that PreparedStatement code.  I can assure you, there is no switch statement involved.  In your prospective code, you start looping through selectedSpeciesProfiles.  That alone is already around 20% of the code that you need to write.  25% if you tweak the loop initialization a little bit.

Meanwhile, I have completed my revamping of the wizard UI.  The main change is that the last two panels --- the one where you select the system tables to export, and the one where you select relationship tables to export --- are gone.  As discussed before, we never make use of these customizations.  The export code now automatically sets these to everything, period.  Thus, those two panels are no longer needed.

I looked into providing a better user interface for the display order string, but concluded that this is a lot more coding that it is currently worth.  So, for now, the customization has been removed, and the default order is always used.

I could not find a way to change the label on the Next button, so I just added a message at the bottom of the second panel which says that clicking Next starts the export.

Hope the changes are what we had in mind.
