No.

 We have observed that some people can´t use a odb-file without
 registration in LO (LO 3.5.5 and LO 3.6.1; OS: Windows).

That would be a bug; please file it, with exact symptoms, reproduction
instructions, etc. Add me as CC to the bug (don't assign it to me). If
it happens only on Windows, I probably won't be able to do much, but
maybe someone else can have a go at it.

 Further questions are:
 What opportunities are there, anyway?

 How is the target direction, i.e. what is the normal procedure?

To open an ODB? Menu File / Open, select the file, click OK or
Open.

Hi Jochen,

 On the German discuss-ML we are currently discussing following questions:
 If a database-file (odb-file) is opened must this database be registered
 in LibreOffice? We have observed that some people can´t use a odb-file
 without registration in LO (LO 3.5.5 and LO 3.6.1; OS: Windows).

I encountered the problem to which you are referring on Linux 64bit with
Robert's file. However, I had no such problem on Mac OSX. This was why I
registered the ODB file with LO on Linux before attempting to open it
again. This may have been particular to my setup, or the file in question.

Note that on Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Apple's file manager defaults
freshly downloaded files passed directly to an app as read-only, under
some kind of lame security policy, which forces the user to re-set the
write bit by hand or else move the file elsewhere (which seems to
automatically reset the read/write bits). However, this doesn't seem to
happen on OSX 10.8, and I can't compare with 10.7 because I didn't keep
it on my machine for very long.

[Libreoffice-qa] Base - database - registration

2012-08-22 Thread Jochen

Hi *

On the German discuss-ML we are currently discussing following questions:
If a database-file (odb-file) is opened must this database be registered 
in LibreOffice? We have observed that some people can´t use a odb-file 
without registration in LO (LO 3.5.5 and LO 3.6.1; OS: Windows).


Further questions are:
What opportunities are there, anyway?
How is the target direction, i.e. what is the normal procedure?

IMHO an non-registered database must not result in an error like an 
error (non-usability) or even crash/destroy data (= bug). Either this 
odb-file will be processed (user friendliest solution) or it is a 
message that this odb-file must be registered first (= feature).


What ist your opinion?

Should I create a bugreport?

Regards

Jochen
