[Valentina-studio] [ANN] Alpha 15 Mac+Win available

[Ken Ray]

No problem, Jochen. 

A couple of things on usability that come to mind immediately are:

1) Command-N should change functionality based on what is currently
selected. If you have a Connection selected it should be New Database;
if you have a databse selected it should be New Table; if you have a
table selected it should be New Field. Honestly it is rare that people
want to create a lot of databases.

2) When creating a new field, you should have another button at the
bottom that allows them to effectively "OK and New" (meaning to save the
current field and automatically create another one). This is very useful
when creating new tables as it is likely for one to want to create
multiple fields in a "batch".

I'll send more items as I find them and I'll only bug the "big stuff".
