The best software for managing your colection of movies, photos or everythin... Very Simple to use. It's a shame it was discontinued.
O melhor programa para organizar suas coleções de filmes, fotos e o que mais vc preferir. É possível catalogar por data, preferencia, atribuir uma nota, etc. É uma pena ter sido descontinuado, porém continuo usando.
doesn't work. Installing Version 1.8 but then when trying to start it. It shows: libharfbuzz-0.dll errors. No solution to see in github
Developer; by his own admission, is struggling to maintain development and user support. http://www.gcstar.org/
Along with collection management, it can also be used for personal databases, such as cataloging bills that have serial numbers & warranty information.
When creating a custom collection, it is useful to keep it unnamed. This way all the custom field definitions (text, list, numbers etc.) get embedded inside the .gcs XML file. Hence, the schema and the data will be stored at one place creating a self-contained XML file.
The great thing is that this XML file is simple to understand and so it can be edited easily with any text editor. This comes in handy when you want to change say all the file paths of attachments.
Seems like the project moved to https://gitlab.com/Kerenoc/GCstar/-/tree/Test
Tried to import my Movie Folder like i did with EMDB. The App just make a list of "Movie - IMDB" x times and not even one was named correcty :P Maybe it works on Apple but it does not on Windows... Can't rate down this app so i need to post a negative comment about it :/
I have installed for the first time Where Is It on my PC. After 1 minute I have had realized my first record in a CD catalogue.
I have tried to use GCstar, believing that is better than WhereIsIt. After 1 hour I didn't succeeded to do the same thing.
My conclusion: or the software is a stupidity realized by pupils without talent,or is bad documented.
Why effort for a stupid software?
