If you see any problems in the beta build post it right here, I wanna know about that right away

Mostly small stuff, like tab order, but I also got a null pinter crash that I need to see if I can replicate, so I can give a decent description of what caused it...

Code: 
EventType : clr20r3     P1 : herb.iq.exe     P2 : 0.3.0.0     P3 : 4c961e46
P4 : herb.iq     P5 : 0.3.0.0     P6 : 4c961e46     P7 : 94     P8 : 45e     
P9 : system.nullreferenceexception
Tab order stuff:
Grow Room - Ballasts: Display Name -> Wattage -> Visible ID -> date Purchased -> In Room
Grow Room - Rooms: Name of Room -> ? -> ? -? Visible ID

Also, you now have a lot of display only fields (like wattage and plants in Grow Room->Rooms). It might make the user interface a bit more intuitive if read only fields had a different color border, or something. (just my $0.02)

Thanks, I believe I fixed that bug before the stable release, forgot about tab order, I can fix that tommorow or the day after with 0.3.1, I'll make those read only fields darker too.

Looking good man! I gave my "Dead" additions a run through since I lost an Easy Ryder while I was away on vacation. Just right clicked on the plant entry I had for the 2 of them, split 1 off and then moved it to Dead. Awesome. Everything seems to be working as I had it.

What's Auto-Track? Also... the "Crash" button. That just for testing? :)

Crash button is for testing ya, I left in there for fun :) This is what auto-tracking is --> https://sourceforge.net/projects/herbiq/files/HELP/AutoTracking.pdf/download

Cool... In case it helps, I figured out the crash was caused by:
- create a new bulb, enter it's name
- click on the Ballast tab, click new.
- click back to the Bulb tab, and click Save

Also, if you already have a ballast, and you create a new ballast, the "Bulb In Use" field does not clear.
Same thing happens for a new room, the Ballasts list does not clear.

There may be some issues with updating the tracking info for lamps and ballasts. For example, if you go into options and do a Committ Tracking time, and the go to the Grow Room -> Ballasts tab, the Total Hours isn't updated until you switch to another ballast and back again.

Should the Date Purchased for a bulb effect the Total Hours calculated by Auto Track?

On the Auto-Track form, would it make sense to update the Start Date after you do a Commit Tracking Time? The new Start Date would be the day after the Stop Tracking Date that was just used. It appears that a user can Commit multiple overlapping date periods and completely mess up the hour counts.

Another (dumb?) design idea... When a plant is promoted, would it make sense to fill in the date field, if it is currently blank? (For example, when a clone is promoted to veg, put today's date into the Veg Start field if it is empty.)

Nobody has complained so I figured it was working ok, thanks for the confirmation :D Good idea on the water/air pumps, that would be useful to get a general idea on their life span and maybe compared brands. I plan on expanding more on the auto-track section this is just the starter, will see about putting your ideas into the next release :joint:

Maybe if the lights weren't linked to a ballats so we could keep track of CFL's. Just a thought.

I can fix that in this release, right now you don't have to have a ballast but you can't auto-track without a ballast, thanks for pointing that out.

Actually I would have to add a field for "in room" seperate from the ballast so will have to add that in the 0.4 release The grow room still has quite a ways to go so if you have any other suggestions while its being built let us know :D

Try just pressing enter. Sometimes it will encrypt w/o a password. Lx would be able to comment more.

What about and "upload to webserver" option, either your own webserver or you could host it in a passsworded bit for a small fee, then you get a small amout of profit or people can get their own domain... the really clever (note geeky) could host their own webserver.

This would also solve the phone issue as pretty much all smartphones have a browser and you don't need to worry about the platform (iphone, android, blackberry...etc.)
