Yes correct, because we do not have in this case standard OS
dialog NEW FILE.

You can simulate this by getting a list of dbs from server (using Vserver
class) and displaying own dialog.

Please note, Vserver differ from local SDK on db.Create() behavior.
Vserver return error and DO NOT allow create db if files already exists.
Local SDK simply override old files.

In Valentina 2.0 this will be polished.
I think local SDK also will return error code then.
This will be okay, because in 2.0 I have add db.ThrowOut() method, so we
will have easy way to DELETE disk db files.
