Hi!
SQLite Database Browser 1.3 is a good software. Simple
and fast. But I think the following suggestions would
improve the usability a little:

1.
In the "Create Table" Dialog the "Create" button is
left and the "Cancel" button is right. When you add a
Field, the "Create" button is right and thte "Cancel"
button is left. I think it would be better, to place
the "Cancel" button always on the right side or at
least on the SAME side.

2.
When browsing the data and editing a cell, the "Close"
and "Apply changes" buttons are confusing. Because the
"Close" button does actually cancel the editing and
throw away my changes without warning. So the button
should simple named "Cancel".
The "Apply changes" button commits my changes AND
closes the editor. Thats unusual because in most other
software an "Apply changes" button mostly does not
closes the editor.
I suggest to rename the button simply to "OK".

Best regards,
Florian

    Another helpful change would be if the Column name were to be displayed (in the Title?) when editing a cell.

    Currently the title of the dialog just says: 'Edit database cell' with no indication of the Column name

    Yes, of course it's there when you double-click to open a cell for editing, but mistakes are possible, especially if editing a few records ...
