Hi,

Just noting odd things as I'm playing.

In the SimpleFormWithBizobj.py application I'm in the window 'Zip Codes'. The tool tip on the delete button says 'New'.

Fixed. Thanks!


I like the 'Show SQL' button. I can learn some SQL without trying too much.

What a nice touch to be able to produce the below from the 'About' screen:

Platform: Win
Dabo Version: Version 0.4; Revision 1135
UI Version: 2.6.1.0 on wxMSW (unicode)
Python Version: 2.4 on win32

In the Print Preview the last record is not enclosed. I note this as, coming from Filemaker, it rings of alignment problems. In fact, I suspect it is that the boxes around each record don't have a bottom.

Stay tuned: that old print preview was just a proof of concept of something we've since abandoned. The new report writer will replace this eventually.


It's just a general point but there is a very strong assumption that one has an always on connection to the internet. I live in the sticks in France where we still don't have ADSL. Luckily, I have always on via wifi and a friends unlimited dialup. Those with no always on must be thrown when they run 'set.py install'. Similarly when trying to run the 'Zip Codes' app. It took me a while to realise why mySQL was so slow.

Yes, true. setup.py only needs the internet connection to get ezsetup, and once that has been gotten no future runs of it need to grab from the internet anymore.


I notice from the script for this that in the class 'MyConnectInfo' there are two elif sections that are the same:

        elif backend == "Firebird":
            self.Port = 3050
            self.Password = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  # (obscured)
        elif backend == "Firebird":
            self.Port = 5432
            self.Password = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"


while I thought I saw somewhere PostgreSQL amongst the choices. Maybe that should be in one of the elifs?

Yep, thanks: fixed.

Hope all this isn't nitpicking. If not I'll continue.

Otherwise, thank you very much for your continued efforts,

Great feedback, keep 'em coming!
