Yes - this is a known issue! You MUST trash the whole vsPrefsDB folder!!
The reason for this is that i am currently don't have a routine that 
updates old
vsPrefsDB's - because it will only makes sense after the first stable 
1.0!
Currently the prefs db is changing too often....

> 	Icon view doesn't work
Correct! I have disabled this one because i want to implement a 
complete new
UML like view in this. I am not sure if i will implement it in the 
first 1.0 - maybe UML
will be a feature of Valentina Studio Professional...

The current Method dialog wil be trashed completly and replaced by a new
Method Editor!
>
> 	--List view

> area)
Yes - this is bug! The Method will be shown just after creation....

Yes - i must store the selection here!

> 		-if selected 'show all'  -> clicking on  the 'add' icon

Agree.

> 		-> the fields should have diferent icons
> (alpha/bin/numeric/datetime/ptr/method...at least field/method)
Agree. Please don't spend too much time in looking at the icons - they
will change...

>

> 	-method formula can't be edited (changes aren't accepted)
Correct. Because the edit-field in the Property Inspector is very small 
- i want
to have a button there which brings up the new method Editor to do any 
changes.

> 	-add record icon doesn't work
Not yet implemented - will be in next Alpha.

> 	-no chance to insert/alter objptr and double data (edit works but
> the data isn't accepted)
ObjectPtr editing is not implemented - but double should work - i will 
check that!

> 	-datatype float doesn't work at all (existing data is shown with
> 0.00 )
I must check that.

As soon as possible!
Hope to get it for the next Alpha.
