Data Crow 3.9.8

Published June 14, 2011 by Download Software

Data Crow is a music (audio CD´s and mp3, ogg, flac, ape, .. files), book, software and movie cataloger. It is platform independent and easy to install. Data Crow uses internet services like amazon.com, imdb.com and freedb.org to retrieve information. It´s platform-independent and is easy to use..

Data Crow is an open source project developed by Robert Jan van der Waals. The project began in 2002 under the name “CD Library”. After further development, CD Library was deemed to be an obsolete name because it no longer reflected the program´s functionality and the project was renamed Data Crow.

For those who like to collect software, books, movies and or music, Data Crow can help! The program needs only a little input from you to register your collection. For example, registering a piece of software is as easy as inputting the software´s name or publisher and Data Crow retrieves the rest of the information from Amazon. For audio files, it´s even simpler! Just browse to the directory that contains the audio files and Data Crow reads and imports the embedded tag information (artist, album name, track name, and so on).

Changelog:

Changed:

For persons (such as artists and authors) the name field has been changed to read 'Lastname, Firstname'. On startup you will be asked to confirm the update.
For associates (persons and companies) it can now be indicated whether it is a person or a company. For persons, the name will read 'Lastname, firstname'. For companies no name conversion is done.
Picture field can no longer be set to be a descriptive field.
For associates the descriptive field can now no longer be set manually, it will always be the name field.
Define fields in alter and create module wizard has been changed to include:
- Required = is the field mandatory
- Descriptive = does the value of this field describe the item
- Is key field = is this field use to check whether the item is unique
- Tab = the tab of the item form in which the field is placed (replaces the 'technical info' check box).
Added an extra step to the module wizard to explain the additional settings that can be done for the module after Data Crow has been restarted.
Order of the labels in the chart panel has been changed.
Updated the help in many places.

Fixed:

Sorting of artists, authors and other persons has been fixed.
Define fields in alter and create module wizard: Data Crow now correctly checks for the entered maximum length for a field.
Item importer states that the items are imported directly into the database. However, the items are actually imported first into the new items tab. I have changed this so that the items actually are imported directly into Data Crow.
The XML item importer for images imports an empty item for every imported image.
Non property modules could no longer be used as a reference for other modules (reference fields).
Define Fields dialog did not have a help page linked (pressing F1 shows an empty page).
Change password dialog did not have a help page linked (pressing F1 shows an empty page).
Loan information overview did not have a help page linked (pressing F1 shows an empty page).
In many cases the help does not clearly state where to find the functionality or option.
File Renamer functionality was broken due to performance problems.
Possible undetected closure of the database connection.
Discogs.com service was broken.
References not correctly cleaned after removing an item.
References are now always alphabetically ordered.
Fields not visible after creating a module.
Database is locked after creating a backup (restarting fixes the problem).
