Improve frequency database default edit behavior #129

Open kpreid opened 5 years ago

kpreid commented 5 years ago

Two silly missing features that combine to be a bad UI :

  1. If no writable database is configured, then the user can create entries which are lost on restart. The UI should hide or disable editing options, instead.
  2. The default configuration should include a writable database!

Also, having no UI hints at all about "which database does a record belong to" means that the writable database behavior is extra confusing.

Option 2 ... I will go ahead and create a new db.
