Description Bobby 2006-07-20 00:07:21 UTC
Version:           1.0.1 (KOffice 1.5.1) (using KDE 3.5.2 Level "a" , SUSE 10.1 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.16.13-4-default

Currently, if the database server drivers are not installed on kexi the dropdown selection box on the server configuration wizard is blank.  i.e.

start->import existing database->New Project Stored on Database Server->Add

This is frustrating from a user standpoint as you cannot tell if something is broken, not installed, or simply hanging.  Please add a message to the add database server screen of that tells the user that  'you have not installed any server drivers'.  It will make the tool more user-friendly.

Good. The message is planned for the startup screen.

Show message when no database server drivers are found

When trying to create/open/import a project that requires a database server
driver, if none is found display a message informing about it and giving
general instructions what to do.
