Hi,
You are welcome to try this second release candidate. No major bug was reported for -rc1, but we improved the new menus, merged some updated translations, and fixed some minor problems.
The official page will be updated soon, but right now you can download the package at:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23067
Marc, for the dev. team.

Looks much better - I like the ability to select which tab to default to.
The only problem I had was staring at a blank left hand frame when I knew there were 1000 databases on the server - I assumed that the permissions were wrong, somehow I didnt imagine that the '-' in the selection box meant that there were 1000 db's in there and all I had to do was click in there to select one ???
I'm not sure how better to do it - maybe the '-' could be '- Click here' and the 'Please select a database' could be 'to select a database' ???
Or maybe the 'Please select a database' should be above and then '- Click here' in the selection box . ???
I like the LeftFrameLight, especially with lots of db's, just found initial orientation a bit hard .
Regards Lance

To avoid another new message, I suggest replacing line 194 of left.php3 (current cvs), which is: echo ' <option value=""> - </option>' . "\n";
by this: echo ' <option value="">(' .$strDatabases. ')</option>' . "\n";
Comments? Marc

Well I prefer this :)
echo ' <option value="">' .$strDatabases. '...</option>' . "\n";

I prefer it with the brackets () and an extra space between them and the ...'s
(databases) ...
BTW the front page should IMHO say 'database statistics' not 'databases statistics' .
Couple of other minor points :-
Trying to edit a record from browse when there isnt a primary key doesnt find the record but displays a blank new one, is it because of float fields that dont have an exact match ??
If so should it ignore float fields in the select and if there are more than one result get the user to choose which one to edit ???
Also 'users - check database privileges - database xxx' shouldnt show 'FILE' for users if they dont have 'INSERT' or 'UPDATE' privileges on xxx, because 'FILE' is meaningless without permission to use the file, it is a global permission switch which doesnt relate to the individual database unless the user already has permission to modify that database.
With 1000 users all with FILE permission to upload their tables - it shows them all when you select someone elses database.

Done.

Why? there are many databases.

I will add a bug entry about this, but you must realize that having a primary key is The Right Thing to do.
Also 'users - check database privileges - database xxx' shouldnt show 'FILE' for users if they dont have 'INSERT' or 'UPDATE' privileges on xxx, because 'FILE' is meaningless without permission to use the file, it is a global permission switch which doesnt relate to the individual database unless the user already has permission to modify that database.

I will add a bug entry also about this.
