Hey Steve, no problems here. Is it this page? http://pigeonplanner.sourceforge.net/en/download.html Here is the direct link to the Windows installer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pigeonplanner/files/pigeonplanner/Pigeon_Planner-0.4.6.exe

You need to download the whole package again (it's only 7mb). Your database is stored in your users application data folder, not in the Pigeon Planner folder. That means that you can thrash the pigeonplanner-0.4.4 folder and install the 0.4.6 version with the installer without losing your pigeons. This goes for all further new versions. Download and install the new package and it will overwrite the previous version without losing all your pigeons and data. Thank you MIKE1957 .

Just letting everyone know that the new release is available. The problem with adding a picture should be fixed now along with some other minor problems I have found. There is also a Windows installer available, so you can install it like any other program and it will be put in you start menu (a desktop icon is optional). Get it here: http://pigeonplanner.sourceforge.net/en/download.html

Do you get an error? I noticed today that you can't add .jpg pictures on Windows. I think I fixed it, just need to test on some more computers. If everything goes right, I will release a new version tomorrow with the fix for the pictures along with some more small fixes. I also made an installer so you can install the program like any other program, and it will be added to the menu and desktop. I hope that will make it easier for most people.

Normally you shouldn't run it as administrator. In fact, you should never run a program as administrator unless they explicit ask for it. You can add a new pigeon with ring number by pressing "Add" on the top left, then you can enter details on the right. Next to "Colour" and "Sex" (above the image) you can enter the ring number, the year and the name of the pigeon.

Hey holmsidelofts, I am working on that. It works more or less, it just needs some cleanup. Then I'll make an appbundle for you Mac users too .

Ok that's great . It is not that hard to use, I tried to keep it as simple as possible. The basic is just to add pigeons (by pressing the plus-sign with "Add" underneath"). More options should be self-explaining once you have a pigeon or more in your list.

67ghirl: Ok, I understand what you mean . There is no installer, so also no shortcut (you can make it yourself though). You have the folder: C:\Users\Mum\Documents\pigeonplanner-0.4.4-win32\Pigeon Planner 0.4.4 In this folder is a file called "pigeonplanner.exe", this is the file you have to start. I know there are a lot of files, so maybe you'll have to search a bit, it has the Pigeon Planner icon. I'm thinking about making an installer, it'll probably make it easier than unpacking the file etc. fits: Thank you. I hope you lik it.

I don't quite understand what you mean with "it just went to documents". Do you mean the application crashed? If it was a crash, there should be created a logfile. Go to the pigeonplanner-0.4.4 folder (same as the exe) and check for the file pigeonplanner.exe.log. You can open this with regular notepad. Can you give me the text what is inside?

Ow, that's not good. It was tested on many platforms and computers. Can you tell me the following things so I can fix this for you and other people? First make sure you have the latest version (0.4.4), because 0.4.2 can crash at startup. - Your platform (eg. windows XP, windows Vista, Ubuntu Linux, etc.) - The crash report that was created (this can be found in the Pigeon Planner folder with the name: pigeonplanner.exe.log)

I can't edit my first post apparently, so here it goes: I'm proud to announce the first stable release of Pigeon Planner. A lot has been changed since previous version, so try it, and see it yourself! Check out the website: http://pigeonplanner.sourceforge.net

Allright, it is possible to add 14 characters and additional 4 for the year. Thanks.

I am writing a pigeon database program. Everything works fine so far, there is only one thing I didn't think off, and that's the possible variety of ring numbers. Untill now, it was only possible to enter a 7 digit number, cause this is how they are here. But now I'm wondering what ringnumbers in other parts of the world are like, so I can make these possible in my program.

Ofcourse there are. But many don't fill our needs plus most are outdated and/or pricy and/or ugly and/or hard to use. On top of that, this program is completely open-source, free and cross-platform. The bugs will disappear in time, that's normal. It's only a couple of months in development and is still being worked on very hard. I release this so people can give me feedback, that's the whole point in my opinion. Many updates will follow with improvements and bugfixes. There's no point in developing this on my own without other people testing it, maybe the bugs will never get found. And ofcourse, many brains have many ideas. No program in the world hasn't got any bugs you know .

-= What is it? =- Pigeon Planner is free and open source software. It aims to be a simple to use pigeon database. Organise and manage your pigeons by adding, editing, removing them in a list.

With the detailed results window, it is possible to see all results of all pigeons and sort them according to some parameters. -= I need you! =- Help me by making Pigeon Planner better and better. You don't need to be a programmer. You can report bugs, share ideas, translate in your native language, feature requests, and so on.
