Ya the dialog display is wrong I will fix that right now for the next release, just ignore the fact that it says save as and click on it anyway and it will import it ok. The dependancy thing means that you need to have Ionic.Zip.dll in the same directory as HERB.IQ.exe but I will be fixing that in the release after this (0.5.0) when I replace the current encryption library

okay i have moderate computer skills but what your saying is completely out of my league

so what exactly do i have to do to get it on my second computer?

i have already transferred the file from my sd card to my desk top. where do i go from there?

I dont know if this has been addressed. Every time I want to use the software I have to reinstall? So I reinstall(takes 20sec) and all my info is there..
Its weird, every time..

I wanted to move my install folder from C: to my A: drive where I keep backups, so I simply copy/pasted it. I would assume you just need to copy the files from your old installation and paste them into your new install.

Here's RC1 for 0.4, let me know if you run into any problems with it --> http://sourceforge.net/projects/herbiq/files/0.4/BETAS/HERB.IQ.0.4.0.RC.1.exe/download
:lol: Thanks bro! Installed without a problem, I just wrote down all my info from my last version and had to update a couple of plants on start of Veg and that was it! Love it keep up the good work! :clap::clap::clap: I was going to suggest a spot where you can record the total age of a plant but I think I found it under the plant report section. Once again thanks and great job! The only thing I am afraid of is if this prgram crashes on me I am going to be lost on where my plants are! This program makes tracking so easy I am afraid of loosing it!

I have started keeping a journal when I am downstairs in my grow rooms, and then I enter the info to my desktop when I come up stairs.

A good option is to use something like synctoy to regularly sync your latest data file (C:\Herb.IQ\data.zip for me) out to another drive in case your main drive dies. I also copy weekly versions (overwrite after ~ 5 weeks) which would save me if my file was somehow "broken" (or maybe I forgot the new password I chose??) and then sync'd w/o me knowing. Haven't had to use either option (of course I did tests initially...) but I'm confident they're solid.

I suppose we could add an option to configure data files back-up in the app, but I would be more in favor of those resource cycles going to new/updated grow-related functionality.

Thanks Howard and 420marine, appreciate the feedback! I did find a bug where it would keep repopulating the plant report combo box everytime you refreshed, just fixed that. If anyone notices anything else wrong with RC1 let me know, thanks!

I'll take a look at the # of days calculation bug. That irritated me too.
So I changed the way days was displayed to include one decimal place so you can see fractions of a day. If you go to a plant and after the date put in the time IE(12/12/10 4:20:00 PM) it will save to the data file and re-save when you make changes to the plant. When you goto the status screen you can see how this reflects to the plant, defaults to 12 AM I believe. Let me know if you think anything else with this needs to be fixed :D

Hello, I have been using your software for awhile now and wanted to say Great Job! This makes my whole grow much easier but I have a couple of questions, and + rep for this:

1 Default time, I have tried to enter different times but it somehow does not seem to take.

2 Need a sprout area for tracking between germination and veg. Since I also do soil along with the hydro this would be a nice feature.

3 Last but not least I would like a Mother area for tracking of my mother plants.

Other than that this is a top notch program, keep up the great work!

Peace out :weed:

well technically speaking it is in veg from the moment it sprouts, so there would be nothing to track between germination and veg... :)
