CMUD database view reorder utility (.dbd)
|
I’ve put together a small Windows utility for reordering CMUD database views stored in the .dbd file.
I made it because CMUD allows you to edit a database view’s columns, sort order and filters, but I couldn’t find a way to change the order of the saved view list itself (for example All, A-Z, Armors, Containers, Food, etc).
The utility currently:
- opens a CMUD .dbd file
- lists the saved database views
- lets you move views up / down
- saves a reordered .dbd
I’ve tested it against my Items.db / Items.dbd pair and confirmed that CMUD opens the reordered database definition correctly and shows the views in the new order.
A few notes:
- it works on the .dbd file (the database definition / views file), not the .db data file
- the .db and .dbd still need to remain a matching pair with the same base filename
- so far I’ve only tested it on the CF item database, but it’s working well there
If anyone else would find it useful, I’m happy to package it up and share it. |
