[ale] Any Navicat users??

[Greg Freemyer]

I am trying to restore a mysql backup created by Navicat.  I have it
on CD, but I suspect I need to copy it somewhere Navicat expects to
find it.

I have never used Navicat before, but I have it installed and seems to
be working.  ie. I can see my databases and tables.  For now I have
set my config directory to /tmp, so Navicat has full access to it.

When I click restore backup, nothing happens.  I was hoping to get a
dialog box asking me for a pathname.

Surprisingly, I tried to create a backup just so I could see the
structure Navicat uses for backups, but that is failing.  But I'm just
given "Backup Unsuccessful".  A directory does get created in /tmp by
name of my database.  And I get a gzip error message about can't find
file /tmp/my-database/random-file

I'm not sure where to go from here.  Any help would be appreciated.

One other small complaint, I have to re-create the connection every
time I launch Navicat.  ie. It does not seem to be saving the config
info.  Possibly this is related.

FYI: This is all with the latest version of Navicat and SUSE 9.2 Professional
