Download Data Crow 2.3.2 beta

Data Crow is written in Java and allows you to maintain a database containing information about CDs, DVDs, software, books and music files. In this way it is possible to keep your own database with the CDs, DVDs, software, books and music files that you own. Data Crow automatically retrieves and collects the necessary data from the internet. It is also possible to adjust the appearance of the program and to print your collection. The latest version of Data Crow goes through life as version number 2.3.2 beta and is available via this page to download. The new-fangled version comes with the following changes:

Internal structure has been changed radically. There is no new functionality contained in this release. Technical details of the changes:

• Top-level items such as the Software and Audio CD items inherit from the new “DcMediaObject” class. A Media Object has a “name”, “description”, “year”, “location” and a “rating” field. The user definable fields are also part of this new class. All other Data Crow objects inherit solely from the DcObject class.
• A new super module “DcMediaModule” has been introduced to support the above named objects.
• The DcTable now holds an accurate mapping of the DcObject field and the column index. In previous versions the reference expected the column to be a precise/static position. This link no longer exists due to the changes of the index numbers of all objects
• Removed “QueryWhat” and “QueryCondition” class. Rewrote the Query class, making it (better) maintanable and reliable.
• Removed any specific piece of coding from generic classes.
• Conversion of old settings to the new settings and fields structure
