Topic: BaseTen / Tell us about your project!

Sorry for the delay, I wasn’t able to get back to the project sooner.
Thanks for the explanation and tip. I already thought about putting it into the undoManager on my own, but thought that if you added the functionality in a future version (i.e. the 1.0) that would lead to my app not working anymore. Now I know that won’t be the case I just go ahead and do what you suggested. Thanks again!

Ah, I see, I forgot to mention that I am required to use autocommit mode (usability issue) so far.
Maybe I can change that, but especially a delete-undo would be really convenient. We (btw: the Media Computing Group) just thought undo of delete is more important than undo of creation, since deletion is a potentially fatal operation, creation not (one can manually kind of undo creation by deleting the new object). It’s not a feature we’re need quickly. Do you think it would work if I just use manual commit mode of the dbcontext and send a save message every time changes are made (i.e. make my own kind of autocommit) or does that make problems with the current undo-structure? Maybe I just test that on my own, asap. ^_

Hi Tuukka,

as you’ve probably seen from the tickets I am one of the BT users.
I am a computer science student at the RWTH Aachen in Germany and currently I write an item storage application for a chair I work at. It incporporates your framework and a bluetooth barcode scanner (and in the future will use a barcode printer as well ^_).
The database deals with rooms, people, item types and of course items. The application then allows creating new representations of these. You can then drag&drop items onto people and/or locations so that each item has a room and owner associated. That way (hopefully) all items can be tracked down easily and found if needed.

So far it’s almost finished (using the RC1 of BaseTen) and apart from the tickets I wrote I don’t see any functionality in BT I”d be in desperate need for.
One thing I’ve wondered about though is whether it is intentional that object (i.e. row) creation and, more important, deletion is not undoable in BaseTen. I haven’t posted a ticket about this or tried to handle this in my own code yet because I thought there might be a reasonable rationale behind this.
