Bugzilla bug 562848 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562848) and its duplicate 562841 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562841) request that 1) the file load/save dialog be merged with the "database connection" dialog and 2) some method be provided to save as a new XML file (currently, "save as" will save as sqlite and not provide a way to specify XML).
Possible solution: provide a dialog similar in appearance to the preferences dialog. on the left side is a list with entries "sqlite", "xml", "mysql" and "postgresql". If sqlite or "xml" is selected, the left side is a standard Gtk open or save widget. If "mysql" or "postgresql" is selected, the left side is the "database connection" dialog which allows the user to enter host/database/username/password. Thoughts? I'll probably implement this and add to the menus (while keeping the current load/save as) so people can use and provide feedback.
