After adding a record type, you can use add/delete rows/keys to full design and populate a data set. I'm kind of working inside out with regard to making a full desktopcouch designer. I started with modifying rows, then add/removing rows, then adding/removing keys, and now adding record types.The next step is to implement New/Delete Database, and I'll a functional designer. I'll probably add Slip Cover to my PPA at that point.
There is no "Delete Record Type" function. This is because desktopcouch never permanently deletes a record, it only marks it as deleted, and as such does not return it when you query for records. This has the odd effect of making Record Types last forever. I am considering adding a "deleted count", and an "active count" column to the grid for the record types. This would take more Map/Reduce skills than I have right now, so would probably be a good thing for me to learn.
