Description: 1) Paid, downloaded, and installed LibreOffice from macOS appstore 2) Start up LibreOffice and File > New > Database 3) Database creation wizard on first screen shows no mysql listing as a connection possibility in "Connect to an existing database". 4) Impossible to connect to an existing mysql database. Steps to Reproduce: See above Actual Results: Impossible to set up connection to a mysql database Expected Results: Connection to an existing mysql database should be possible Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.3.6.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c28ca90fd6e1a19e189fc16c05f8f8924961e12e CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 12.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR Calc: threaded
The irony is that you can load an existing ODB file configured to connect to an existing mysql instance using the native connector, and it will work. For some reason, the mysql entry is missing from the connect to database dialog list.
@cloph, @heiko : any idea why the MySQL connection entry might be missing from the Apple AppStore release ?
