Re: price-db storage via BackEnd?

Sigh.. Configurating is always a "hard" thing. I suppose we might want to re-examine what we consider "application configuration" and what we consider "gnc(file) meta-data". -derek Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Linas Vepstas) writes: > > > dimwit question: are

Re: price-db storage via BackEnd?

Agreed. I think we should carefully consider the separation of "program/ui configuration" and data configuration, for exactly the reasons you specify. However, what is considered "application/program/ui configuration", and what is "data configuration"? I don't know the answer. -derek Rob Brow

Re: price-db storage via BackEnd?

I admit that the RPC backend is incomplete. Indeed, there is NO security in the RPC Backend at this time. The code in the CVS tree is mainly a proof-of-concept (slightly beyond experimental, IMHO). It is certainly not ready for prime-time, until: 1) Security/Encryption is added to the

'close window' and 'move to new window' items -> windows menu

I propose that the close window move to new window items, which currently reside in the 'File' menu, be moved to the 'Windows' menu, and a separator added between them and the window list. I mention this because when the notebook style interface is in use, it is not clear how to close one of
