New Wine Log Software

Robert - my first impressions -- WOW - this will be very nice. I have a few comments after trying it out for about 5 minutes . . .

Mac OS 10.3.2 -- program runs great -- it's java, so things like report opening seem a little slow. But that's ok.

I happened to insert an apostrophe in the "source" field (eg. Shirley's Vineyard) and it gave me an error when it tried to save the new entry.

Unexpected token: S in statement [blah blah]

I noticed in the error message the fields were separated by apostrophes, so it thought the S on the end of "Shirley's" was something else.

I love the ability to incorporate pictures (labels) into the log. Is it possible to make this a drag and drop feature? I found traversing my directory listing to find the picture was a bit tedious.

I'm looking forward to playing around with it some more!!!

Thanks a bunch for your hard work on this. Greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you like it so far.

The first report you run will be a bit slow as the program needs to initialize the reporting libraries. Subsequent reports will open faster since the code is already loaded into memory.

Yes, I will fix that problem. The apostrophes confuse the database. I've already written a parser that looks for characters that confuse the database. I just need to activate it for all text entry fields.

Thats a good idea. I will look into this.

Let me know if you have any further ideas or find any other bugs. I have received another report from a Mac user that the date pickers don't work properly when using the Mac system theme. I'm currently working on this problem. I will probably release a third beta in another week or so that fixes all known bugs (and possibly add drag and drop).

I tried your online wine log and liked it. I am planning to try out your download tomorrow. What are you planning to do with this software when it is finished?

Sorry, I should have posted my comments on your web forum as you suggested instead of here. Anyway - I also noticed the date problem but forgot to mention it.

On windows xp, when I try to install, the installer simply says "out of memory" for each file, when it tries to install them.

Hi,

I haven't heard of this problem before. Perhaps your PC really is out of memory. I'm not sure if the installer is referring to RAM or hard disk space. Rebooting your PC should free your RAM. Check your hard disk and ensure that you have about 50 MB of space available.

Also, tomorrow (April 27) I will be releasing the official 1.00 release, you may wish to wait until then to try again.

Lg:< you may need to adjust your paging file within system properties. I run xp and the programme runs fine. Stephen SG If your unclear make contact.
