Hello Dave, many thanks for reporting! Would you be able to attach example database that causes the crash? Please use the "Add an attachment" link below. Thanks! Created attachment 83737 [details] KexiTest01.kexi Wow - a personal reply to a bug report, and on the weekend? THAT never happens with Access! First and foremost, infinite thanks for both Kexi in general and your commitment to dealing with bugs. I need to tell you that the crash occurred on Day One with Kexi for me, so there is an excellent chance that it results from ignorance rather than an actual bug. Still I am glad to send you the database and I will take the liberty of providing a little more background. I have been making a living as an Access developer for over 15 years and for the last decade have been looking for an open source replacement for it. I wasn't impressed with OO Base, and I'm sorry to say that I only became aware of Kexi in the last few weeks. I wanted to check it out and especially find out about the scripting situation, since VBA is central to my Access work. I installed Kexi using the software centre of my Ubuntu 11.10 release and created a trivial database (attached). I was able to create and populate a table and create a form as you will see, and then wanted to see if I could figure out how to capture events. I think that in the course of that I opened and closed the project a couple of times, but I can't swear to it. In any case, at some point I had closed my form and on double-clicking it in the Project Explorer to re-open it, the crash occurred. It took a little while to go through the bug reporting process since I hadn't yet acquired a Kexi account, and once that was done I went on to other non-Kexi activities, involving my bicycle. Of course I was astonished and delighted to find your replies this morning, and I have returned to Kexi to send you the database. I have not been able to reproduce the crash, but I have noticed that when I start Kexi and open the project, things appear as they should, but if I close the project [Close Project] and then re-open it [Open] I do not see any objects in the Project Explorer. If I close Kexi and start again, I am able to open the project as I expect to using the Existing Projects tab in the Choose Project dialog, which is not quite the same Open Existing Project dialog that is presented when I click the Open button after closing the project in the main Kexi window. While I'm using up your time, perhaps I can ask you for any pointers on getting started with scripting for Kexi. I understand from the wiki that this is in early stages, and I've taken a look at an example for importing text data, but I don't know enough yet about the object model to figure out how to attach code to events like updates and clicks. I gather that the options for scripting are Qt or JavaScript, and I'm not very familiar with either, so would you recommend one over the other? Once again, many thanks for following up.

Would you be able to attach example database that causes the crash? Please use the "Add an attachment" link below. Thanks! The versions of your software is very old, and no longer maintained. You should try newer versions of KDE / Ubuntu / Kexi (Calligra), and report back, if the error still occurs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 240170 *** |
