Open Read Only

[angkastiel]

Details for the issue

DB4S has option File\Open Database Read Only, but this option absent in command line options. Please, add option like --read-only to command line.

I'm opening this issue because:

• DB4S is crashing
• DB4S has a bug
• DB4S needs a feature
• DB4S has another problem

I'm using DB4S on:

• Windows: ( _version: 7 x64 )
• Linux: ( distro: ___ )
• Mac OS: ( version: ___ )
• Other: ___

I'm using DB4S version:

• 3.10.1
• 3.10.0
• 3.9.1
• Other: ___

I have also:

• Tried out the latest nightly version: https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser#nightly-builds
• Searched for an existing similar issue: https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20

Good idea. 😄

Yep, good idea! I have just added that option. You can now open a database in read-only mode by adding the --read-only command line option or -R for short.

@angkastiel Can you download tomorrow's nightly build and check if it works as expected for you?

[chrisjlocke]

Just checking ... all the other command line options are lowercase. Is -R meant to be uppercase only?

[MKleusberg]

Yes, that was intentional. Vim is using -R for read-only mode, so I was thinking that probably more programs are using it, and we might as well 😉 I haven't checked though.

@angkastiel Ping? Are you around? 😄

[angkastiel]

@justinclift, i'm here. How to download the build, which spoke about @MKleusberg.

[justinclift]

@angkastiel Excellent. From here, they're automatically built every night from our latest source code. 😄

[justinclift]
