Feature request: Database Management

[heatvent]

Abilty to manage race files such as delete a file, choose subfolder, etc.

The "Advanced" button for "Choose Database" lets you browse to an arbitrary database file for SQLite databases, including creating new subfolders if permissions allow. The Settings page lets you browse to/create subfolders for where you'd like to store other data files (photos and videos).

Letting DerbyNet users delete arbitrary files on the server doesn't seem like a great idea. I agree there should be some way to delete unwanted photo and video files from their respective directories.

Jeff, I wasn't really looking for a file browser / manager so I wasn't necessarily looking to browse the directory, etc. When setting up each year I end up doing a decent amount of testing to re-familiarize myself with the software. This may include setting up test databases using subgroups vs. no subgroups, running results through each, etc. So I end up setting up several "test" databases as I retry things, make mistakes, etc. Then I setup a final/clean database to be used for the race close to raceday. The ability to purge data from the database has been a huge help during testing in not having to go back and recreate a new database if I am just say running test races. However, it may be good to be able in addition to create and/or open databases, select from a drop down and delete or even backup databases. I don't think this can be done from the advanced tab (which is focused on creating and opening like the non-advanced window) but maybe I missed it.

Thanks
