NANY 2011 Release: Snap DB
skwire:
Thanks for the feedback, kfitting; I appreciate it.
I actually have written a set of functions that "encode" and "decode" multiline blocks of text for storage in and reading back of an INI file for some other apps of mine. Snap DB's file format is much like an INI in that each record is stored on a single line. However, I decided not to do multiline records because I feel it would take away from Snap DB's simple, elegant (IMHO) interface. I mean, there really is not a good place to put a multiline edit/text field on the main form without sacrificing listview space in some way (which I'm loathe to do).
kfitting:
Understood! If a user really need multiline maybe excel is the better choice.

There is the option to anchor an edit control window to the listview cell, that can be triggered (by double click or something) to open & display the full text, and then auto close when it looses focus. That way you can keep the clean single line view and still be able to peek at larger blocks of text as/if needed.

Skwire, thanks for your excellent program, I can see many uses.
I have some suggestions that would make it even more useful for me.
1. Don't clear the filter match field when you turn off filter mode - I often want to use it again.
2. A method to import a CSV file, use its first line as header names and delete that row in one operation.
3. More filter types like "doesn't equal", "doesn't contain", "greater than", "less than", regular expression match.

* Can do. Added to the ToDo list.
* I understand the reasoning behind this. However, this would sort of break the mass import you can do by dropping a bunch of CSV onto the list (or multi-selecting them via the file choose dialog). Did you see the Edit/Context menu option to convert a row to the header? Maybe a solution/option would be if there was only one file dropped (or selected via the dialog), auto convert the first line into a header.
* I'll add these to the ToDo list as well.
Thanks for the feedback. :)
