Hi Mark,

Interesting features but not as important as a stable application ... as a developer I know that it is always more interesting to add new features than fixing bugs ;)

Oh, they were planned a long while ago, but because of the time we spend bug
fixing and other duties we had not enough man power to implement them until now. QB is now feature complete (which it
should already be with the first GA). So we can now entirely focus on bug fixing (when it comes to QB).

Most of the bugs seemed to be very obvious (IMHO flaws in the basic functionality) to me so I didn't add them to the bug database until today. However, I added five more to to the bug database today (now I have a total of 7 bugs submitted for the query browser) but I stated them as "Medium" priority only because there is always a work-around available for them.

Excellent, Mark. Thank you. Only the bugs that are reported are likely to be
fixed. You know the developer never tests as hard as the normal user :-)

Most of the bugs makes the usage of the table editor annoying because after almost every change you have to apply the changes, close the "edit table" window and re-open it. Sometimes I feel like a beta-tester :(

I'm sorry, but until only three weeks ago QB *was* a beta product and marked as
such. The GA of course should be more stable and we are working hard to remove as many problems as we can.

I understand that these bugs cannot be fixed that fast (even not around x-mas) but I hope that they will be fixed soon because using the query browser should be very comfortable then.

Perhaps I should also mention (and be it only as a short note), this is still
all open source. You get it for free. However, this should not keep you from giving us help to find the flaws.

Again, thank you Mark.

Mike
