Description : Datacrow is a modular media catalogue and organiser with
configurable reporting system, a loan administration and a module wizard for
new media types or specific requirements for existing media modules. Included
with the program are modules for movies, software, photos, containers, books,
audio CDs, music albums, generic media, contact persons, users.
Adding new media is very easy and can be done automatically by searching the
databases of sites like Amazon, IMDB, Metacritic and others for ISBNs, titles,
EANs (European article numbers), et cetera. Datacrow even has an automatic
update function that allows to replace the entries with new data from said
online data sources or append new data to existing entries.
A comfortable filter option allows to filter by author, genre, actors, and,
year of publication et cetera, combined searches and custom sorting.
The report function offers export of HTML or PDF reports and preset report
formats plus the option to generate your own.
The included user management and loan management allows to manage media you
have lent to other people and even use Datacrow for a library.
The GUI has localizations for Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, and
Spanish. The online help is currently English only.
The software derived in 2003 from a CD library software written by the same
author. Written in Java and published under the GPL the software runs on Linux,
Windows, MacOS X and can be started from USB media as a portable app.
