Since only ever using Terminal twice in 30 years Ion a Mac 'm at an impass. After installing the newest Version of JRE ending with 481. I was told I needed '17' while trying to open Crow installer. There dosn't sem to be a 17!! PLUS any help to using Terminal would be appreciated.
Hi There, It sounds like the error might be related to a corrupted configuration or cache file that Data Crow created when the images failed to load. The broken image links could have caused something in the database or settings to save incorrectly, which sometimes leads to the java.lang.NullPointerException on startup. A common fix is to close Data Crow, go to the installation folder, and remove or reset the user configuration files so the program can rebuild them on the next launch. If that doesn’t...

Hi Peter, Not yet, as soon as I release a new version it'll be with the updated install creator package.
Hi Robert, have you found the problem yet and perhaps even a solution?
Ho aggiornato la versione di Data Crow 3.9.14. alla X-Datacrow_3.12.5_rev7, è andato tutto bene, e ho fatto anche il ripristino. Nel riaprire con l’icona di X-Datacrow, mi chiede Utente e password: ho messo SA senza nessuna password, ma mi dice Utente e/o password non corretti. Non ho idea di quale utente e password bisogna inserire. Potete risolvermi questo problema? Grazie.
Data Crow 5.02 Ciao Robert, sono Sergio ti scrivo per dei problemi che sussistono dalla serie 4.1: L’Ordine alfabetico deve essere (crescente o discendente come Word in Windows) per film, attori, registi, Country, trailer ecc… L’ordine alfabetico ( quando in un film si devono aggiungere registi, attori, country, lingue audio e sottotitoli) non deve essere Nè ascendente, né discendente, perché vanno lasciati così come man mano vengono inseriti. Vi sarei molto grato se mi risolvessi questo problema....
I'll have to take a look, I might have to upgrade the package responsible for creating the installer.
I have the same problem. Which Java version runs with Data Crow 5.0.2 under Linux?
I have finally found it. Will be releasing 5.0.3 within the next few weeks. There's an issue with public / local IP setup in Data Crow which results in these kinds of issues.

Hello, as can be seen in the screenshot, in my Modules menu some of the main modules are displayed twice ("Autoren" = authors, and "Buchfiguren" = book characters). I suspect it has to do with the fact that each of these two main modules is referenced in two other main modules. These are only two identical menu entries for the same module each. Is there a way to avoid the doubled menu entries? Thanks in advance!
Hello Robert, Thank you for your quick reply. I have sent you a private message on this platform. Regards, Kaarina
Hi Karina, If you zip your modules folder (from your Data Crow user directory) I'll have a look. Cheers, Robert
PPS: I have tried downgrading to 5.0.0 and 5.0.1, and nothing has changed.
PS: With sub-module i mean: However if you choose to no longer show the selected module on the module bar, the referenced module will be displayed in the module list, underneath your (main) module. Via https://datacrow.org/docs/module-design/ And I do not mean a parent-child related module set.
Hello, I have a module (type: Other Module) containing all my DVDs. Within this, I have a sub-module (also type: Other Module) for production companies. The production company module can reference itself, which was working fine in Data Crow 5.0.1 (I’m currently on 5.0.2). This setup includes “Subsidiary” and “Parent Company” fields. The DVDs module can reference the production company module as intended. However, after creating a Film Franchise sub-module under the DVDs module, I can now only reference...
hope somebody is able to help, just re installed windows , and installed Datacrow, when i have started it, all the data is ther, but i cant see the screenshots , how do i enable this? thanks in advance
Great! Thanks!
Hello Robert, I tried twice but failed to get back my datas with the lastest Datacrow upgrade. Do you think we could try with a save and restore on my computer. Can you build a save of your work that I could use ? Thanks Cheers Alain
Issue upgrading: cannot remove persistency columns
Fixed in the new version: 5.0.2
Incorrect refreshing of the record count in the database.

Hi there, It definitely makes sense to have a cleaner, customizable set of columns for the Create Multiple Items dialog—right now it feels a bit overwhelming when it mirrors all the Table View fields. Being able to define a simpler default set would streamline the workflow a lot, especially for quick batch entries. And yes, the dialog forgetting its resized window size can get frustrating fast. It’s a bit like opening a movie app and having it reset your preferred layout every time—you just want...

Hello Robert, I just sent you my data folder. My e-mail is alynoe@gmail.com Thanks Alain
I would add that I have a similar error while I'm on brand new installation, no import !
Hi, Ah, sorry - you can email it to me: info@datacrow.org Cheers, Robert
Hi, Ok how can I send you safely the link ? Thanks Alain
When adding a movie via online search is there a way to specify what year the movie came out? I'm encountering a problem when adding movies that have a commonly used title. Example; I have the 1997 animated "A Christmas Carol" but because there are SO many movies with that name it does not appear in the 20 results "Online Movie Search" returns. I tried manually adding a new entry with the name and year set then updating it online but that does not seem to change anything. I guess I'll just have to...
Hi, No the ask is to just send you complete data folder. To share it with me on a place where I can download it from (Google drive, dropbox). I'll then upgrade it for you and send it back. That seemed easiest as I don't know the ins and outs anymore of the upgrade steps of 3.9.14 . Cheers, Robert
And after, I will be able to use the last version of Datacrow ?
hello, Thanks for your help. You ask me to put my data folder on the cloud. How can I give the link after that ? Cheers Alain
OMG!!!
Ah, yes. After reworking the import process (and export process) in 5.0 I broke the compatibility towards CSV and XML files generated on older versions. I have my regrets, but that is what it is; yyou cannot import files from older version (pre 5.0).
yes, they are
Hi, Apologies, I thought I replied but, alas, apparently not. The only way forward, as I see it, is to share your complete user folder. I can then upgrade your data (hopefully). Do you have dropbox or something similar? Cheers, Robert
hello, Do you have any idea ? Thanks you !!
Hi, are these XML and CSV files created on previous versions?
Hi All of a sudden, datacrow began importing blanks from both XMl and CSV files I thought it may be a problem in the source file, but i've tried modifying it but it has not worked I've tried using different versions of JDK - 11, 17 and 21 - but it hasn't worked either I've also tried oracle's 21, but it also imports blanks any ideas?
