Component Organizer Software
AcHmed99:
I found a link to this app on another site.
Workshop Organizer
For Linux and windows.
Has anyone used this before?
I've been looking for something to keep track of my stock, this seems to fit the bill. You can link each component to its datasheet, catagories, price and quantity.

Oh, wait - aren't you the one that is flogging this thing? Certainly seems so over in the buy/sell topic. So I am kind of lost as to how you 'recently found' this solution (as opposed to dreamt it up and now want to flog it). Maybe you could clarify your interest (or lack thereof) in this?
Edit: er... perhaps you might like to consider what Wrath Of The Mods you might be stirring up by carpet bombing the forum about this thing. If nothing else, I admire your bravery >:D
Ducttape:
This topic makes me wax nostalgic. I remember in the 1980's there was a Mac program called Interlace (and later became Reflex after purchase by Borland) for the mac that was a RELATIONAL database manager whose UI was a work of art. There will never be, in my opinion, a relational database as easy to use. And, of course, it is gone forever. I'm secretly hoping some other codger here will remember it, but it's unlikely.
Anyways, if you want to do it right (the downtown version), what's needed for true flexibility in parts management here, is a database that can handle 'links from many to many'. For instance, what if you have 555's from 3 different manufacturers or sources (many)? Plus, some of those manufacturers are the sources of more than one (again, many) of your components? That is what a database 'link from many to many' is. And now that Interlace/Reflex is gone you pretty much have to devote your life to learning any software package that will handle this situation. So it is not easy to do this 'right'.
So where was I going with this? Oh yeah, I recommend just going with Excel like I do. Close enough.

On the surface it looks ok. I tried to install it but get an error when I try to run it: "Initializing system database is fail!"
