The original thread -
[DONE] serious problem with elephant db
got locked as "done" with mrk1988 suggesting I try to create the new db with the same name as the old one (which leads to a db already exists message), and if that does not work - restart elephant and retry (which didn't help either), and letting him know if that helped...
hard to do, without being able to send him a message or post in that thread again, so I'm posting it here.
As to Larres 's comment that that button's doing is a design feature, ok. That's for you to decide.
but settings and data are different things... and the program should at least allow to redefine the database as the active one (well, it does half the work right by not deleting it...so that button's work as affecting only the settings and not the data seems to be working...
There should just be a way to reuse the database... Which is what I was asking about.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.
the warning message shown when that button is pressed only talks about a reset....and it was in a "general settings" window...so it could be a good idea (in my opinion... you may disagree... of course) to mention it affects the database as well... or perhaps if the databse could be reused it wouldn't be an issue at all... this just seems to be safer. to me
Cheers
