Comment #15 by Claus DIETRICH:

Hi Benoît

I thought that the screen video will clearly explain the actual problem.

Bruce and you are assuming that the data base should be copied to somewhere to get it writable or to being able to open it.
Simply forget this. The data base will stay in the root directory and will not be copied to somewhere because 

a. a database also can be opened if it resides in the project directory
b. the programmer may want to use the data base in read-only mode    
c. the programmer wants to use the connection object established in the IDE-directory

So there is no reason to throw an error which no one understands.

The only question which needs to be answered is:

Why do we have to use "/." at the end of the absolute path to open the database if it located in the project root directory? 

or in other words:

Why can't we use a normal absolute path to open the database if it located in the project root directory? 

We know that we will get problems when we attempt to write into the data base which is located in the project directory. But we regard it as more logic if we bump into a write-error, because this is explainable.

Best regards
Claus

Claus DIETRICH changed the state of the bug to: Accepted.
