Ok I know it has only been about an hour since the release of 1.0, but I thought these changes were too urgent to wait.
http://www.fliphost.net/item/ItemEditor12.zip
Changes in 1.1:
Menu items (excluding minimize/exit) will do nothing if program isn't connected to the database. This will save crashes from those who like to click things when not connected.
New Item and Delete Item will be disabled until connection with a database is found.
Program will no longer crash if "settings.ini" is not found.
When loading, if program is unable to connect to a database, the "Save Settings" dialog will appear allowing you to change your database information and will try to connect again.
That is it for now, please reply to this topic with any feedback and/or bugs. Thank you.
