I've just released WildLog v4.2.1 that fixes two minor bugs that affected the Bulk Upload feature. The new release also has some improvements to the way the new Observations Tab works.
You can download the latest version over here.

Releasing WildLog v4.2
I've been working hard the past few months to wrap up a bunch of new features for the WildLog. WildLog is the wildlife sighting database I've developed for my own nature based collections and camera trapping.
The new version (WildLog v4.2) comes with lots of small improvements, and a couple of major new features. Have a look at the updated user guide to get an overview of the latest functionality.
One of the big new features is the new Observations tab. This tab will allow you to work with Observations directly and will show the most recent Observations by default. You can add, delete, map, etc. the Observations from this screen.
You can use filters to determine what Observations to list.
One of the biggest additions to this version of WildLog is the inclusion of an entirely new reporting section. There are now many more reports available and they look a lot better than before.
It is now much easier to export the reports.
There are many more features and improvements too look out for. When a system gets this big, with such a rich feature set it becomes very difficult for one person (I work on this alone, in my spare time) to develop and test all new and existing features extensively. I try to release as stable version as possible, but I might have missed something. I use this same stable version for my own real world data, so if you run into any problems please let me know and I'll release a fixed version as soon as possible.
Thanks for using WildLog, and as always please help me make WildLog better. You can contact me anytime with suggestions, bugs, or just to say what you enjoy about the program.

Releasing WildLog v4.1 and WildNote v1.1
I've been doing lots of work on WildLog over the past couple of months and I think (hope) version 4.1 is now ready to be released.
You can download the latest version of WildLog over here.
There are plenty of new features and improvements in this version.
Most notably is that the tables can now show small thumbnails. This makes is a lot more enjoyable to use and provide visual clues to navigate a large data set faster and more accurately.
There are a couple of new features, such as adjusting the GPS or date/time for all Observations in a Period. I also tried to improve the performance of the application across the board.
A lot of time has been spent on improving the exporting and importing functionality. It is now possible to export new Workspaces, based on a particular Period or Creature. You can also now import directly from another Workspace.
Another aspect I've been wanting to include also finally saw the light of day: You can now download sample Workspaces that have all the mammals or birds for the USA or South Africa already added. This should make it a lot easier to get started.
Lastly, I've also decided to release WildNote.

WildNote has been a very long time coming. In fact I've started working on it twice before, deciding to stop development because the underlying frameworks I tried didn't do a good job matching my requirements. But now I think I finally found something that work, so hopefully I'll be able to improve on it over time.
WildNote runs on (my) Android devices, and enables my to capture the date, time, GPS and species at the touch of a finger. I used WildNote this past December to capture over 500 observations while on holiday. Something that would have been much more difficult if I had to use good old pen and paper.
The idea is the export the observation from WildNote and then import them into WildLog.
Mobile technology might be all the rage these days, but it is a very fast changing scene with lots of role players and platforms, making it "unwise" to invest too much time into something that will not be around in 5 years' time. Thus the idea was to get an application that did what I needed and didn't take too long to develop or maintain.
