One of the things I’ve been doing recently is to rewrite SQLEditor to use cocoa instead of java’s swing toolkit. This gives a much better application for people using Macintoshes, but it has meant a file format change. The old format relied on java serialization which isn’t possible under cocoa.
The key question is this: are users willing to swap the superior performance and extra features for the hassle of exporting and reimporting their data?
Yes definitely. Here is more… why not take a Cocoa version of SQLEditor and embed the opensource, public domain SQLite library in it. Check out Quicklite at http://www.webbotech.com/… Tito’s already done some great work wrapping SQLite in Cocoa. That with SQLEditor would be a potent database for the Mac. And I would be ready to “barter” a few things for it. 😉
