Data Crow - опенсорс кроссплатформенный каталогизатор музыки (audio CD´s, mp3, ogg, flac, ape, ...), видео (DivX, Xvid, ASF, MKV, OGM, RIFF, MOV, IFO, VOB и Mpeg video), книг и программного обеспечения. Data Crow использует такие интернет-сервисы, как amazon.com, imdb.com и freedb.org, для получения полной информации о медиафайлах. Данная программа начинала разрабатываться еще в 2002 году - проект "CD Library", и за многие годы разработки превратилась в качественный продуманный продукт и была переименована в Data Crow.
Data Crow is a music (audio CD´s and mp3, ogg, flac, ape, .. files), book, software and movie cataloguer. It is platform independent and easy to install. Data Crow uses internet services like amazon.com, imdb.com and freedb.org to retrieve information. It´s platform-independent and is easy to use..
Data Crow is an open source project developed by Robert Jan van der Waals. The project began in 2002 under the name "CD Library". After further development, CD Library was deemed to be an obsolete name because it no longer reflected the program´s functionality and the project was renamed Data Crow.
For those who like to collect software, books, movies and or music, Data Crow can help! The program needs only a little input from you to register your collection. For example, registering a piece of software is as easy as inputting the software´s name or publisher and Data Crow retrieves the rest of the information from Amazon. For audio files, it´s even simpler! Just browse to the directory that contains the audio files and Data Crow reads and imports the embedded tag information (artist, album name, track name, and so on).
Features: A User Manual Internal help system (activated by the F1 key) Nice-looking and easy-to-use interface Platform-independent (including the database) Software registration Audio CD registration Music files registration Movie registration Book registration Reporting (new) amazon.com support (http://www.amazon.com) imdb support (http://www.imdb.com) freedb support (http://www.freedb.org) Imports information from CD or your hard disk Extracts information from music files (including the tag content of OGG, FLAC, APE and MP3 files) Supports parsing for DivX, Xvid, ASF, MKV, OGM, RIFF, MOV, IFO, VOB and Mpeg video Hide fields, Update All values, etc SQL query tool, for expert users Highly customizable! No frills HSQL database, no need for ODBC-JDBC bridge drivers
Data Crow BETA 3.7 [Release on 30/10/2009] [testing: medium] [target: BETA] --------- No new functionality but a lot of memory and performance improvements. The changes made cause a dramatic performance increase as well as a substantial memory gain.
Note that this is a beta version; limited testing has been performed! Please create a backup of your database before using this version.
[Changed] - Items are now internally reused. Data Crow was quite generous when it came to item instances. To gain, I admit, a modest performance and memory usage gain items are now internally re-usable. As a user you will not really see this change. However, this change has such a big impact on the whole of the product that I have decided to release this version as a major release and to release it as a beta version first. - Several performance fixes have been applied. The external references and the additional checks performed when saving an searching for items caused the performance to drop. To overcome these issues (for large databases) the checks to see whether an item already exists have been changed; - For properties both the alternative names and the names are checked. - For all other items the external references are checked first (the PDCR in particular). Secondly a (combination of) display field is checked. Since version 3.5 Data Crow only checks on the actual string (exact match but case insensitive). This has been kept this way. - Views are now filled instantly resulting in a 99% performance improvement. With this change items are added to the view in about a second (regardless of the amount of items). - View components are now reused (reduction of item creation; lesser memory needed and performance improvement). - Memory needed for viewing all items now requires about 75% lesser memory. This is not a fixed memory gain as it also depends whether the items contain an image (etc.). - Save buttons are now removed from the item tabs of the view. Save and save all is still available from the menu bar and the tool bar. - Update all now saves the updates directly (!). - Displaying dialogs is now more controlled (technical change).
[Fixed] - External Reference is not created when an item is updated by an online service. - Several problems with transparent images have been fixed. - MobyGames.com stopped working. - Items are not correctly updated in the tree / grouping pane. - Key navigation in table view. - Issues with update all functionality when loosing view focus. - Data Crow hangs after message "want to save changes" when navigating in the grouping pane. - By default the directory usage has been turned on for the File Importer. Has been changed to off by default. - Calendar displays February twice if the current day of the months is greater than 28. - "Hanging startup" on some Linux flavors. - Several references in text to Java 1.5; should be Java 1.6.
The 3.7 version contained errors which were not noticed while the 3.7 was in its beta stage. This release fixes 'all' of these issues. Note that this version has only be tested moderately.
[New] - Metacritic game and movie online service. An excellent resource for game and movie reviews. - FreeBookSpot online service. A site from which e-books can be downloaded. - Added sourceforge.net as an online service. Sourceforge.net hosts open source projects like Data Crow and many others.
[Changed] - Invalid auto numberers are now automatically removed on startup. They can become invalid due to removal of the field from the module. - Added additional checks to see if an item was destroyed. Picture objects are now also internally recycled. - The drive scanner and drive poller (part of the Drive Manager) can now be configured (from within the Drive Manager dialog) to run on startup. - The category field of the software module has been changed to a multi-reference field. - Items can no longer be deleted when referenced by other items.
[Fixed] - Reserved keywords could be used as module and field names causing all kinds of startup errors. Data Crow now actively checks whether the name is allowed. - NullPointerExceptions when starting Data Crow and while working with items in the views. - Grouping pane looses its grouping. - Picture disappears when updating a newly added item. - Strange images being written to HTML reports. - NullPointerException when creating a report.
Data Crow 3.8.1 [Release on 15/11/2009] [testing: high] [target: production] ---------
[Fixed] - Categories and such could still be deleted even when used by other items. - French translation was added incorrectly to the installer package (sorry Skorpionnan)! - Errors when trying to delete an item (Date cannot be cast to collection of DcObject). - Quick View does not display the item when the contact person module has been disabled. - Error in queries when only references have been changed for an item. - Only 10 custom property modules could be created. In the new setup you can have an unlimited amount of custom property modules. - Cache is now always cleared when upgrading from an older version. - Possible error during module import; importer tries to update a view which is created\ only after restarting Data Crow. - Item importer (XML) failed when a field name (XML tag) started with a numeric value. These fields are now appended by 'fld-' to create a valid XML tag.
[Changed] - Added the file backed and the container managed properties to the module wizard. These option were already available but only by editing the module XML manually. The file backed property adds the file size, file hash, hash type and file name field to the module. The container managed property adds a container field to the module and allows the items belonging to this module to be displayed within the container module.
Data Crow 3.8.2 [Release on 17/11/2009] [testing: high] [target: production] --------- Maybe I am taking the 'release often' approach to its very limits.. here is yet another minor release containing small fixes and an additional online service.
[Fixed] - Genres for movies retrieved by IMDB were, sometimes, appended by " more". - Sorting: sort settings overruled the sorting of a filter created in the filter dialog. Now this filter dialog sorting is remembered. Changing the sort after applying a filter overrules the sorting of the filter. - Description was not retrieved for software from Sourceforge.
[Changed] - Updated Italian translated. Thanks Marco Artioli! - Added a new reference to the software module: License.
[New] - Softpedia online service. Retrieves information on drivers and Linux, Mac, windows and game (related) titles. Together with the previous new online services (Sourceforge.net and FreeBookSpot) Data Crow now offers information on downloadable (free) content instead of solely using the online service to retrieve information on commercial titles. You can expect more of these kind of services to be added in the near future.
Data Crow 3.8.3 [Release on 26/11/2009] [testing: high] [target: production] ---------
[Fixed] - Related modules are not correctly imported using the module import wizard. - Hierarchy container tree does not update correctly when changing the parent of a container. - Invalid container hierarchies are not prevented (unending loop). - Update all does not update items when the validation of an item fails. This is fine but no error is shown to the user. - NullpointerException when deleting a custom made module (rarely occurs). - Imdb.com online service was no longer working. Cobra project: Imdb.com HTML was no longer valid for this library. The cobra.jar library has been altered to correct this. - Changes made to the contact person module were saved to the wrong module JAR file.
Data Crow 3.8.5 [Release on 9/12/2009] [testing: high] [target: production] ---------
[Fixed] - Discogs.com online service no longer retrieved the tracks. - Memory leak in the card view. Data Crow will now use a maximum amount of memory. After that, additional memory is actively released to the system. - File size is cleared when saving an item of which the file does not exist. - [2909635] Failure after installing without modules. Data Crow can now actually be started without having any of the default modules available. - Non picture fields are displayed in the pictures settings for the card view. - [2909608] Cannot delete empty back picture. - [2909589] Update all still malfunctioning. - [2909593] Null Pointer Exception when importing Movies - [2909591] No directory sort order in Movie import dialog
[Changed] - Selected container and storage medium for the file importer is now remembered for a next run. - Default picture order for the card view has been corrected (front, media, back).

[Fixed] - Sourceforge.net search did not work correctly. - OFDB online search no longer retrieved the genres correctly. - Templates cannot have image / image not saved. - Startup error in case default data is present for non existing module. - When selecting a new user directory through the parameters Data Crow does not set up the user folder. This results in you only having access to the user module. - The directory for upgrade script was not yet transferred to the new user folder. This was no problem for upgrading, however, for new conversion required Data Crow could not have any write privileges to these files. - Newly added fields (using the Alter Module Wizard) are now enabled by default in the general field settings. [Changed] - Imdb.com movie search now uses ImdbApi.org instead of Imdb.com web site parsing. Language setting now only applies to the localized title name. All other texts, etc, will be retrieved in English. This is a deliberate change as the web parsing is very error prone and hard to maintain. Note that you are limited to 3000 searches per hour. - Items shown for the container module are now sorted alphabetically.

[New] - The property items overview (found in the Administration menu) gained a new tool: delete unassigned items. This will remove all properties not assigned to any other item For example a category not used in software items will be removed. - Another new tool for the properties module is the merge functionality. Having many categories (for example) which actually have the same meaning? Merge them all into one property. All references to the properties will be corrected (without duplication, of course). - The Resource Editor now has find and replace functionality. [Changed] - The screen is now much cleaner and it makes the application look simpler. - The file associations setting now also allows parameters to be defined. - New items tab has been removed. - Online Search will now directly save the item instead of adding the item to the "new" tab. - Chart tab has been removed. You can open the new charts dialog from the tools menu as well as from the tool bar. - Create Multiple Items tool has been added (as a replacement for the new items tab). - Item importer will open the new items dialog to lists the imported items before saving them. - The module bar has been changed. Labels have been removed. Additionally the select module section has been improved. Selecting a sub module will highlight it on the main module panel. - Improved startup time by building forms on demand instead of on startup (where possible) - 4.9 seconds on an almost empty database in 3.12 against 6.0 seconds on the same database with version 3.11.1. - ISBNdb.com has been changed and the information is of limited use now to Data Crow. This service has been disabled. - Help has been updated to reflect all of the above (press F1 once in a while just for the sake of using it). - The Find and Replace utility now also allows you to change one reference with another. - Update all now refreshed the overview after updating the items (instead of updating one by one).

A minor release to include additional changes and new functionality. Much needed fixes for the references fields have finally been included. [Fixed] - Icons for containers not shown in trees, fields and in the quick view. - Icon for modules disappears in the Media module. - Error loading setting if value is erroneously empty. [Changed] - Merging property items will now also update the "alternative names" field, merging items returned from online searches, etc., automatically. - In the past, due to performance issues, I had refrained from updating trees in case a property was changed. This has now been fully implemented; changing an icon will immediately be reflected on trees, multi-reference views and the quick view panel. - Added quick filter to the related items and fixed the sorting. - Added quick filter for the items tab of containers. Sorting cannot be fixed just yet. - Several minor layout changes (button alignment) such as for the tool select wizard and the update all dialog.

This is a new major release. DO NOT install this version in the same location as the old version as this will cause the program to fail to start. NOTE 1 I have found that in old installations it is possible that both books.jar and a book.jar file exists within the modules folder. Remove the books.jar file as the book.jar file is the actual file used for saving module wizard changes. NOTE 2 All modifications made to the Music Album and the Audio CD modules will be undone by the upgrade. There was no other way to get the Music Album and Audio CD modules merged. NOTE 3 The web version is scheduled for version 4.1 and is not part of the 4.0 version. [New] - Client-Server mode. Full stand alone application server is now available. See Client-Server notes for more details. This has been achieved through a complete change of the Data Crow architecture. [Changed] ! The Audio CD module and the Music Album module have been merged together. It did no longer make sense to have them as separate modules. There is no loss of functionality. - Italian translation has been updated. Big thanks to Marco Artioli! - Added additional file support to the movie file import. - Changed the tabs saving mechanism. Tabs are also no longer stored in the database but our now saved per client. This makes it possible for users to create their own form design. - Code re-structuring; making the code and architecture future proof. This was a huge undertaking but will not be directly visible to you as a user apart from having new features released in the (near) future which would not have been possible otherwise. - Upgraded Apache Tika to version 1.5 - Added a column selector to table views (right-click on the table header). - The discogs.com music search has been implemented using the official API, making it more reliable and future proof. - Added Record Label to the the Music Album Module. - The Sourceforge.net online service has been rewritten to use the official API, making it more reliable and future proof. - JTattoo (Look and Feel manager) has been upgraded to version 1.6.10. - You can now place true type fonts (TTF files) in the fonts directory of the install folder. These will be loaded by Data Crow and can then be used. They will appear at the bottom of any of the font selection lists. - PDF reports now can make use of Fonts installed (copied) to the fonts folder of the Data Crow installation folder. - Additional settings can be done by the user by editing the "pdf_config.xml" file as located in the reports folder (of the user directory). Instructions:
- Updated the Module Creation Guide - Updated the Create Report Guide - Created a Client-Server Guide [Fixed] - One more small issue fixed when upgrading from an old version of Data Crow. - Regex pattern for the file importer was applied after changes to the name were applied by Data Crow logic. This can cause the regex pattern to no longer match. The regex pattern will now always be applied first. - Lent versus lend grammar mistakes. - Avoiding null pointer exceptions in case fields no longer exists. - Restart of the Delete Module Wizard started the Create Module Wizard - Problems with the creation of modules due to invalid table names caused by special characters. Now the names are auto generated. - UTF8 problems with the module.XML files has been resolved. - Issue with user creation. Module permissions were not saved correctly on the user creation. It only worked after updating the user. - Create multiple used the view type (table / card) based on the selected search view. Because of this the card view was used sometimes which is not editable. - Backup process reported missing "dc.lck" and "dc.log" files. - Opening the form to create a new user took a long time. - Module wizard creation module allows Picture fields to be added to property modules while this is not supported. Option has now been removed. - The Mobygames.com online search has been fixed. - The Sourceforge.net online search has been fixed. - Dictionary.txt was saved in plain text instead of in UTF8 format. - Original label in the general field settings showed the new, custom, label after the user made the translation. - The view and quick view were not updated after performing a loan action (return / lend). - Mismatch between the contact person module name and the module jar file. - A white space for decimal grouping symbol is reset to "." after a restart. - Drive Manager window settings not applied correctly. [Client-Server Notes] A manual has been released:
Highlights: * Clients don't have access to restore and backup functionality, regardless of their access rights. These options are solely available when running Data Crow directly on the server. Future versions might have scheduled backup routines. * Server can be started using the server command. It's a headless server, meaning it doesn't require a monitor / has not GUI. * Clients are thick clients. Wait for the new web GUI release for thin client access. Note that Data Crow will always support the client-server mode as currently released. The code has been optimized for client-server access. Data is pulled in small batches. For example, when scrolling in the table and list view only does items are fully retrieved from the server which are currently visible. Clients connected to a server will however always be slower than standalone clients. * User management is available directly and has remained unchanged from previous version. You can indicate on field level if the user has access to it and what he/she can do with the field content (read/update/delete). * Icons are cached on each client. No synchronization on icon changes has yet been implemented. Nothing else is cached on the clients. After a restart of a client the icons are retrieved from the server. * The clients retrieve the settings, modules and value enhancers from the server. Not all settings can be done on the client due to security restraints. * Modules, system settings and value enhancers are downloaded from the server on startup, this way the server is in control for the modules and system wide settings.

This version can be safely installed on top the 4.0 version. Do not install this version in the same directory as an older version (3.12.5 and eralier); install this version into another directory. [Fixed] - Better error handling in case of duplication in the mapping tables for the upgrade. - Performance bug in the quick view has been fixed. - Query Panel did not show error messages - Properties overview did not refresh after deleting an item. - User mode was not applied, only after a restart. - Errors due to existing module upgrade files. I have implemented fail safes to make sure these are skipped and Data Crow is started. [Changed] - On upgrading the Audio CD's are merged into the Music Album module. I have now assigned storage medium 'Audio CD' to these merged Audio CD's.

A small but important bug fix was required. The bug causes a startup error, introduced by the 4.0.2 version released yesterday. I've fixed 2 additional upgrade issues which occurred for some users. [Fixed] - Error message; full control needed for the install directory. This message was intended for the server installation only. The client doesn't need this anymore with this version. - Upgrade error in case the old images folder contains sub-directories. - Fixed an error for the Audio CD and the Music Album merge.

Minor release, introducing a new quick filter toolbar. It also improves the handling of startup problems. [Changed] - Improved Error Handling for recovery. When the database load fails due to inconsistencies Data Crow would in the past just show the user login page. Now, Data Crow will rename the database, show the correct error and close Data Crow. On a next start Data Crow is started with a clean new database. The user can now restore the last backup. The faulty database does still exists and can be send by email to analyze and fix if possible. - Improved the handling of user folders; You can now switch between user folders without copying the data over from the existing folder. The option to copy the data has been made an option from the user folder selection dialog. - Improved handling of old databases; it was always the idea for users to perform an restore of existing backup in the latest version. Most users however upgrade directly which is actually almost enforced by Data Crow. Data Crow will now warn the user in case the old database requires a different upgrade path, such as first upgrading to version 3.12.5. Data Crow will not allow the user to continue to avoid database corruption. - Quick filter is now a search all field; it will search for text and numbers in all applicable and search enabled fields at once. On the quick filter bar I have now also placed an icon to quickly open the advanced filter dialog. With this change the quick filter bar is simpler to use whereas the advanced filter dialog can be used to create filters of a high complexity (and remember, these can be saved for re-use). Note; it is not possible to use regex expressions in the quick filter (not supported by the underlying HSQL database). - Added Find & Replace to the Filter menu. - Upgraded HSQLDB (http://hsqldb.org/) to the latest version (2.3.2). - Added a "Create Support Package" menu item to the help menu. Creates a zip file containing all files needed for identifying and resolving problems. [Fixed] - Find and Replace was not working correctly. - Open Item from the right-click menu did not work. - Fixed an issue in the Database Editor; first column was not shown in the query results.

Maintenance release. Note that a new version of the Create Report manual has been released as well, fully updated with the changes of Data Crow 4.0.7. [Fixed] - GUID (internal ID) shown for Contact Person in the loan history of the Loan Information panel. - Problem resolved for report creation. This was an old issue which was hard to simulate. An additional check has been added to check whether the file is accessible. - Not all fields can be added to the Item Report. - _Persist fields could be selected for the Quick View. - Server didn't have the library jacksum added to the class path which caused failures for file hashing. [Changed] - The item exported now ignores system fields. Additionally the importer now only tries to match an item on import by ID in case the match and merge option has been checked. - The Create Report manual has been updated.

This release contains a bug fix for the reporting. Many users had an issue where the report was not generated at all (this also happened in version 3.12.5 and earlier). I have finally been able to fix the issue (which wasn't easy; on all my test environment it worked correctly). As a reminder; the Create Report Guid has been updated. You can find it in the download section. [Fixed] - Problem resolved for report creation; report not created. Was reported fixed in version 4.0.8 but was still failing for some. The functionality has been tested and has been confirmed to solve the issue. - After a module has been created and a field has been marked as descriptive the view still shows empty labels. [Changed] - The upgrade will now silently copy missing reports and translations to the user folder. Existing files will no longer be overwritten. - Added additional report types; Word Document (DOCX), Excel Document (XLSX), Excel Document 97-2003 (XLS). - Added titles to the various message and question boxes. - Added nicer descriptions for the report types. - Added various tool tips for the define field dialog (create module wizard).

With this release the following has been fixed: - Fixed an upgrade issues for the Audio CD and Music Album merge. The error occurred in case online services were never used and the columns SERVICE and SERVICEURL were therefore missing. - Fixed an upgrade issue for the Audio CD and and Music Album merge. The error occurred in case the new tables already exists due to a faulty earlier upgrade or because the user installed version 4.0 on top of version 3.12.5. Now, Data Crow will delete empty tables required for the new Music Album module. If they contain records, the upgrade will fail. - The module wizard did not handle special characters correctly. - Tabs containing special characters were not stored and retrieved correctly.

[New] - This version contains the new web server as part of the existing server architecture. This replaces the old web module as was delivered with version 3 but never made it into version 4. The web server delivers the following functionality: ~ Searching for items (Search..) ~ Creating new item (File > Create New) ~ Edit item (Right-Click > Edit) ~ Navigation between items (for example, open a software title, then click on it's category, then see which other items have been assigned to this category, etc.). ~ Picking fields for the overview and the item form (web). (Settings > ..) ~ Full security model has been implemented This web server delivers the same basic functionality (with a tad more style) as the old web module and will be expanded upon with each and every normal (4.x) delivery see the roadmap at
Note: this web server is a module of the existing (since 4.0) server edition. It allows the server to serve both full (thick) clients as well as web clients at the same time. The web server uses an embedded version of Tomcat, version 8.0.23. [Fixed] - Change password on a network client caused errors / did not work. - NullPointerException during start up for users with very limited rights logging onto the server. [Changed] - MP4 support for Movie File import. Many thanks Lars Kцvari! - The Data Crow Server manual has been updated to reflect the 4.1 changes.
