There was an interesting thread
here that dealt with tablet/phone apps for tracking bonsai. Whilst I do have a smartphone, I'm more old school and prefer DSLR cameras and desktop computers with big screens. I also run Linux on all my puters so that adds another level of complication. In looking for software to look after my budding bonsai endeavors I came across a Linux package called Zim.
Zim doesn't have a clue about bonsai; its prime focus is on creating Wikis. But hey, isn't a wiki just another database? Perhaps a bonsai database?
The attached image is a screen grab of my Zim "bonsai/garden management system". By way of explanation:
- All trees are numbered according to the julian date of purchase/receipt. An alpha suffix is added if more than one plant obtained the same day. Some (most) trees also get a name.
I limit the size of images within Zim to 100px on the short axis, however all images can be opened full size within Zim.
The only real limitation I've found with Zim is that reminders and/or calendar events do not link out to the computer's O/S calendar, but instead create an internal "todo list".
I believe Zim is also available for Windows O/Ss.
