DataFinder Description

Free and open source data management client DataFinder is a data management client developed in Python that primarily targets the management of scientific technical data. The system is able to handle large amounts of data and can be easily integrated in existing working environments.The administration of data at a central point and description of data with standardized meta-tags make it much easier to find data, and cuts down on double work. Users can also use partial results or input data from other calculations already on the server for their own work, without having to generate the data all over again. The flexible metadata concept also allows the users to attach additional meta-informatioA data management solution with DataFinder relies on open and flexible standards, such as the WebDAV protocol, on the server side. This guaranties an easy extensibility and flexibility for future extensions. Currently, a couple of existing WebDAV server products are being supported. A commercial solution is the Tamino XML Server of the Software AG and a free solution is the open source WebDAV server Catacomb. Both server solutions allow server-side searching and automatic versioning of documents and data Here are some key features of "DataFinder": · Up- and downloading data · Assigning data standardized and user-defined meta-information · Search function allowing linkage of multiple search terms · Script execution for automation of tasks (e.g., for automatic up- and download or running of calculations) What's New in This Release: · Fixed problems with file names containing non-ASCII characters on file, script extension, and icon import. (MANTIS ID 3446) · Fixed handling of trailing slashes in collection paths which caused problems with WebDAV server Apache + mod_dav. (MANTIS ID 3435) · Improved rendering of system-specific attribute values in the attribute dialog. (MANTIS ID 3445) · Fixed problem on download of collections which could cause an infinite loop in conjunction with collection links. (MANTIS ID 3444) · Improved data browsing performance and performance of structural data modification operations (import, copy, move etc.). (MANTIS ID 3433) · Improved arrangement of data-model-specific and user-defined attributes by meaningful sorting. (MANTIS ID 3434) · Added check for missing and changed attribute values when closing the attribute dialog without usage of the "Cancel" button. (MANTIS ID 3432) · Fixed activation state of available actions when not connected to a WebDAV server. (MANTIS ID 3425) · Fixed problem on login which always required the user name to contain at least one character. (MANTIS ID 3424) · Fixed problem within the attribute dialog which in some cases reported unsaved changes although nothing has been altered. (MANTIS ID 3427) · Fixed crash of the attribute dialog when the attributes of a data item without available data type have been edited. (MANTIS ID 3426) · Fixed problem on overwrite of an existing configuration which did not work with WebDAV server Apache + mod_dav. (MANTIS ID 3429) · Fixed rendering of attribute names in the data type dialog. (MANTIS ID 3430)
