Hi Justin,

Hi all,

I've added an issue the other day that I described badly, and it got marked as being not-that-important.

However, I think it *is* important so I'll bring it up here to see if I'm just plain wrong or what. :)

http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=42477

Some background:

Lets say you're a standard OOo2 user. When you want to work with a Word Processing document, you start up Writer. When you want to work with a Spreadsheet document, you start up Calc. When you want to work with a Presentation document, you start up Impress.

Following that logic, if you want to work on a Database document, you use Base.

Errr... no.

With Base, every time you launch it you either have to create a new database or create a connection to an external database.

Base has no option in it's startup wizard to "Open existing Base document". (i.e. one created 5 minutes ago in a previous session).

Impress's wizard has this option, and Writer/Calc don't even use wizards so it's even easier.

So, for the standard OOo2 user, if they want to use a Base document they have to start *anything other than Base*, close that, do a File -> Open, then go and find their Base document.

Errr... am I the only person who sees this as "bizarre", and needing to be "fixed" before we get to production?


I agree and I think this should be fixed soon but I'm afraid the time frame is to short until 2.0
