Pigeon Planner - Organise and manage your pigeons

[Ulsterman]

You mean you installed and run the program fine?

 

Inside the program you can't just type in the details field. You need to add a pigeon by pressing the Add-button, that will make the details field editable.

 

thank you,got it now.

Ok great .

 

I'm planning on making some documentation too. A little beginners guide or something. So much plans...

 

Oh, general info: the website can now be reached at http://www.pigeonplanner.com, it's a bit easier than the previous one.

think this is a handy programe,free as wll,great. but could you please tell me how to add pics as i cant see anthing relating to that.thanks.

[Timo]

Thanks grizzler .

 

 

Ulsterman: When you are adding a pigeon (by pressing the plus sign top left), you can click on the large square with the program logo inside at the detailsview (underneath the entry's where you put the ring number and name). It will open a filechooser where you can navigate to your picture.

 

To remove a picture, right-click on that square and select "Remove".

 

This also works when editing a pigeon.

Hi Timo,

            First let me say what a great program, i have entered all my stock and all the birds from their pedigree's and everything work as it should. You asked for feedback if we found anything well it might be me but when i edit a pigeon details i.e. ring number year the progran lets me edit the the number by pressing edit then after i make the changes and press save it saves the pigeon's details but without the changes made. I wonder if you could help i case it's me. I have managed to get round the issue by deleting the pigeon’s details and entering them correctly again.

 

I hope this makes sense

Regards

Dave

 

[Timo]

fits, thanks for the compliment.

 

You are right, I never noticed it before, but if you change a pigeons ringnumber, it won't get saved. All other details (name, colour, etc.) are working correctly, right?

I will hunt this down and fix it. Thanks for mentioning it!

[fits]

Cheers Timo

[chickadee]

it's still working fine here on vista and a shortcut as well

[Timo]

fits: I fixed the problem. The new version will be released somewhere in the next week.

 

I made lots of work in the detailed pedigree. You can now add, remove and edit parents in the pedigree directly, without adding them to the list (usefull for pigeons you don't own for example). So, still some days testing and I'll put it online.

 

 

Thanks chickadee, I'm very pleased to hear that .

Thanks Timo,

                   i will look forward to trying the new version.

[Timo]

0.4.8 is currently the latest version. You can check manually by going to Tools=>Updates. Or in the Preferences you can turn on automatic update check.

 

thomasd: It works on Windows 2000 and higher (XP, Vista, 7, ...) and Linux.

[Guest mr mrs arnold sons]

sorry to say i have tried it and it was know good for me or my pc.

i have installed P.L.O--pigeon-loft -orqanizer,and that still has bugs- i recommened you use your microsoft office

and make files of your birds

[Ulsterman]

AH, but you have to pay for that one. pigeon planners free.

[Guest mr mrs arnold sons]

if you pay for it you get guarantee that it will work

[Ulsterman]

pigeon planner works ok for me. so it'll do me.

[Timo]

if you pay for it you get guarantee that it will work

 

That's just not true. If I asked 100 euro for my program, it would be better? It is a myth (and people do believe it) that commercial software is better than free. But I can honestly tell you, and not just because my program is free, that commercial software usually is inferior to free software.

 

No software is guarenteed to work. No matter how much you pay for it.

 

 

But if you don't like the program, that's ok for me. We are free to choose our own, and if other software suits you better, I will not argue on that . That's why there is alot of software that does the same, so that everyone can choose their favorite.

very happy with yours timo :)

[Timo]

Thank you grizzler.

 

Let me say that I am very happy to hear if people do use it. As I don't earn any money with it (although donation is possible), it keeps me going to hear people working with it and have suggestions to improve. Thanks all.

[Timo]

Little announcement about the new version (0.5.0).

 

The major new feature is the ability to add/edit/remove pigeons directly in the pedigree (detailed view).

There is also a search option and a logviewer in the menu. The logviewer will be more userfriendly in case of an error.

Timo, is it a good thing to be able to just change details anywhere in a pedigree?

If a member has entered his birds and there details, including those from the parents pedigrees etc if required then any pedigree produced should be true.

What you saying is if a member is selling X, bred from A & B, the bird doesn't sell then with the click of a button you can change a parent/grandparent to champion C!

 

I know pedigrees are only as good as the person writing them but this will just aid anybody wishing to make up a pedigree!

 

IMO
