Everything Offends Me
THIS IS OLD INFO. NEW THREAD IN TECHNICAL CORNER!
Ok Guys, I'm looking for beta testers for PilotFreeStuff: Multimedia Logbook. I need to stress that at this point, it is FAR from a completed project, and there is VERY likely some bugs.
A few notes, while this is a public beta, I really only want people to download this that can deal with the fact that this project will not run properly in certain circumstances. There is a bit of debug left in the code to help with bug reports as well, so it is a bit bulkier than it should be.
What I want y'all to do is use as many of the features as you can and try to make this program crash.
***NOTE: A generic workaround for any log display errors that make the program unusable, for the time being, is to check the box that says "Do not display picture/video" so that you can delete that entry.***
A few known issues:
All Operating Systems:
* Adding a picture or video to a logbook entry and then deleting the file from the original directory will cause the photo/video to not display and the program to crash. This is actually something that I am redesigning so I can actually store the media in an alternate method. This does not need to be reported.
FIXED* Editing a log entry produces Date errors. FIXED
FIXED* This is a dumb one (D'OH!) The currency calculator on the main page shows a time associated with it!!! FIXED
FIXED*It also defaults to today's date, even when a flight was not logged todayFIXED
* The about menu does nothing. This isn't a bug, I just haven't set it up to do anything yet.
Windows
* Having the QuickTime Launcher running may or may not cause a NilObjectException. I'm still figuring out why this is, and why its not consistent. Any information you can produce related to this bug would be a great help!
Macintosh
Nothing known at this time, but I have not tested this myself, as I lack access to a Mac. Any bug reports from Mac Users would be VERY, VERY helpful! bugs@ridetheskies.com
Linux
Nothing known at this time. Please report bugs to bugs@ridetheskies.com
If you have a feature request, please email it to requests@ridetheskies.com
FEATURES STILL IN DEVELOPMENT
* Multiple photos/videos per log entry
* Airplane/Pilot database to reduce the number of fields required
* Customizable logbook headings
* Ability to import from other logbook formats
* IFR Currency Checking (I removed the IFR Approaches column for this reason)
* GUI that doesn't look like it was written by an 8 year old child.
So - if you want to help, you can get it at http://www.ridetheskies.com/PFS
Thanks!!
