I have started again to work on the FlameRobin redesign, with multithreaded database access. Since FR 0.9.0 is using the wxAUI library for tabbed property pages I decided to use wxAUI for all of FR:
Ideally it will be possible to open sql editor windows and property windows either in tabs or in their own parent frames. A new poll is up so we get an idea whether the current FlameRobin UI is liked (or not so much) among the FR user base.
I have tested the firebird 2.1.1 classic and flamerobin 0.9 on an Windows7 system
The setup went this way Next Next Next without issues : 1.installed firebird 2.1.1 win32 kit and I choose classic (dual core system) 2.installed flamerobin 0.9 from download area (setup version)
here are the screen shots
Also i downloaded gimp and it installed Romanian version and is quite difficult in native language :)
Michael Hieke committed code to support 4 different authentication methods in the database registration dialog:
- Use saved user name and password - Use saved user name and encrypted password - Use saved user name, but always ask for password - Use trusted user authentication
The method is selected via a choice control. For the last two the password entry field is disabled, for the last one both the user name and the password entry fields are disabled.
Empty password is supported now for the first method. Unfortunately our user management does not allow for empty passwords. Supporting the creation of users without password is easy (remove two lines from IBPP), but deleting the password of an existing user is impossible ATM. This needs more work anyway.
I had to modify our internal copy of IBPP slightly, will add patches for that to SF tracker.
