I agree with this poster. As a programmer myself, I'm well aware that
writing software takes a lot of effort, and those who make it available
for free are doing a great service to the general public.


Now as to some constructive criticism: your interface follows a bit of
an outdated model, in that you get a list of buttons that go to the
individual functions, click on them, perform a function, and then when
done return to the application again.

A better model is to have your app seperated into a control section
(menu and/or toolbar) and then have a content area that will change
depending on menu selections. For simple things like Pilot info, you
can pop up a seperate dialog.

Also, when viewing the logbook table, most of the abbreviations aren't
long enough to convey their meaning.

Other than that though, it looks like a good project so far. Wish it
would have been a Linux/UNIX variant , as there's very noticeable
lack of logbook software (free or otherwise) for the platform. I've
been working on one myself using C and the GTK2 toolkit but have been
running into a bit of trouble getting the database backend (Itzam) to
behave correctly (I've been trying to avoid using a full fledged
database and keep it embedded, but I might have to scrap that idea and
move to something like MySQL). If I ever get my version up and going
I'll be releasing it under the GPL liscense.

Good luck on your project and your future career.
