Hey Gonzalo, since your on here and I'm not a skyper just yet...

I'm getting used to the new layout. There is a suggestion I have. I view my pigeons in grid view and the font is very hard to read the numbers. Especially the 3's, 7's, and 5's.

Any chance you could try a different font and see if you like it?

Looking forward to the app. It sounds like it will be really useful. I like the new option to ad stations for races and training. I have a suggestion there too, and you may already be working on it. I would like to be able to pick the release spot for my stations from google maps, much like you implemented for adding our loft location. I hope that makes sense.

Just deployed this enhancement. You can now pick your race stations from Google Maps. Go to Races -> New Station

It's very easy now to set up your release stations.

Nice! (there's another reason I love PigeonDB.... instant service)

OK, here's another suggestion for your app. (I hope we are talking a droid app) It would be nice to be able to quickly and easily update bird or add birds I just banded to existing pairs etc... also if you want to get fancy, a button to activate the phone's camera then take a photo and have it assigned directly to the bird you are working on. That may require too much with updates keeping current with all the different phones etc.. I don't know. Kind of beyond my skills.

Oh and I just tried adding a station.... worked great!

The problem with the new pair should be fixed. I have also fixed the issues with the font in Grid mode. The font is bigger and the birds have more space around them.

Much better on the font issue! Thanks!

 

[Ashby Loft]

That's a neat feature.

Are you still working on being able to generate jpeg images of pedigrees along with the pdf's?

 

[Ashby Loft]

Thank you. I'm just wrapping up a new way of creating pedigrees. It should be ready by the end of the week. It's going to blow all the other software out of the water!

Can't wait to see.

Im having a really hard time with this program. For the computer illiterate, it is hard to figure out. All I want to do is fill out my birds peds.

I sent you a pm.

Hey Gonzalo...
I have an idea for PigeonDB that would make the "community" part of it more useful. When I am adding a bird's info and building a pedigree, I hit "search pigeons" bar and try to make sure I already don't have the data entered from another pedigree. Saves time and avoids duplicate entries.

You have added a warning which helps avoid duplicate entries. (nice)

What if, when we searched for a bird, there was a check box or radio button which would allow the search to include birds entered by the other users as possible matches. An "advanced search" so to speak. Then the option could be given to copy that bird's info to your own info, and us it in your own pedigree. Thus saving time in data entry.

Of coarse this could only include those who have enabled "sharing of data" etc....
