Software update: Data Crow 4.10.0

Data Crow is a catalog program that can bring order to the chaos of just about any collection, whether it’s books, CDs, DVDs, photos, or media files. Where possible, all kinds of relevant and additional information is obtained from the internet. The program is written in Java and is offered as open source. It is therefore easy to adjust the appearance or functionality. Version 4.10 has been released and the following changes and improvements have been made:

New

• Attachments can now be added to items. These documents are stored within the Data Crow data set in a compressed format (zip). All main allow modules for attachments to be added.
• Added drag and drop support for pictures (from file and directly from web pages) and attachments.
• New Russian translations has been added (not finalized)
• Portuguese translation has been revamped

Changed

• On upgrade, Data Crow will convert all images to a standard format (JPEG). This is to reduce storage size and improve performance. Additionally a maximum resolution will be maintained: 3840 * 2160.
• Data Crow will no longer close windows or exit when pressing the Esc key. This has been changed to Ctrl/Command+Esc.
• Create multiple now allows for rows to be deleted.
• Create multiple will only show one message when multiple items could not be saved.
• Update All will now process all items and show a combined message on failures (due to constraints) rather than individual messages.
• Filter dialog will keep the selected field and operator when adding entries.
• Extended the image formats supported by Data Crow, including webp.
• Online search will now store images to the temporary folder instead of keeping the images completely in memory.
• Related items are now shown in the quick view as well

Fixed

• Incorrect alignment of the filter label on the related items tab.
• Update all dialogue; could not create new reference using the icon for the reference / references field.
