L importingJust tried it. SO impressed. Seriously - well done. Love the way you can expand columns, the way it saves your changes instantly, the ease of use (double click for bookmarks, adding system data), the extensive features, the design. You are an excellent coder my friend.
Some thoughts for the future:
- Enable ED: DL importing
- Enable a search function for systems in the list
- Enable a search function for notes
- Enable some kind of filtering - especially the ability to show all notes. Other good filters are filter a specific system (to show all the entries for it), stars and planets
- Enable ability to export notes
- Fix the datestamp - the line where a new day starts is below the first system of that date instead of above it
- Maybe put the date next to every entry, instead of in a wide box for all systems of that date - it is rarely visible for productive days
- Put some more columns in such as planets and estimated value
- Have the estimated value clear if you clear all bodies
But no rush, I'm very very happy with it as is
Any chance of being able to change the res? My secondary monitor is only 1440x900 and your windows is too large.
Other then that Great Program!
Thanks for your awesome comments
I'd never heard of ED: DL until now. I'd need to have a sample database file in order to see if I could import data from it.
Search functions are "in the List"
Filtering functions are equally "in the List"
Exporting data is most certainly in the List.
I was thinking it'd be better just to show all the dates rather than merge the cells, as well. I originally thought merging same-date cells looked cool - until as you say I had a "productive" day and couldn't see the date on a long set of jumps. I've already made this change for the upcoming beta 4 in fact.
There is a planets column already - teehee! - it's just disabled/rendered invisible for the time being until I turn the current Planet Entry System from it's current 'placeholder' format, into something resembling the Stars Counter, but WAY cooler. I have a concept in mind but it'll take a wee bit of development, and I wanted to get the app out the door sooner[tm] rather than later
I'll have a think about adding an estimated value column - but we're already short on real estate in the jump table
Regards!
L database file, no need. They are text files, here's a section which includes every type of "entry":
10/06/15 03:00:17 AM,Starsystem,"Sol"
12/06/15 12:16:01 AM,Starsystem,"Delkar"
12/06/15 12:16:08 AM,Equipment Purchase,"TEST"
12/06/15 12:16:13 AM,Money,"TEST"
12/06/15 12:16:16 AM,Note,"TEST"
12/06/15 12:16:20 AM,Ship Purchase,"TEST"
