Usability and Data Portability

Version 1.1.0 focuses on usability, data portability and continued refinement of specimen management.

Highlights

JSON specimen export

Individual specimens can now be exported as JSON, making it straightforward to use Fossil Tracker data in external tools, scripts and computational workflows. This provides a simple interchange format for further analysis, visualisation or integration with other projects.

Improved document and image management

Document handling has been refined, with image and document types now maintained as reference data for greater consistency across collections. General document management has also been improved, making it easier to organise supporting material associated with specimens.

Enhanced related links

Related links have been enhanced to better support references to external resources, helping to build richer contextual information around each specimen.

Storage improvements

Uploaded image handling has been improved by storing relative file paths, making installations more portable across different environments.

Bug fixes and usability

This release also includes a number of usability improvements and bug fixes, including:

  • Fixed an issue that could result in duplicated filename prefixes on uploaded images
  • Continued refinement of the user interface and workflow
  • Updated project documentation and Wiki

This release continues the goal of making Fossil Tracker a practical, lightweight catalogue for managing personal fossil collections while improving interoperability with external tools and workflows.
