Happydigger for Linux
_____________________

Happydigger is a program which you can be used for cataloging archaeological
finds. It is intended both for semi-professional use and by amateurs (e.g.
metal detectorists) who want to keep track of their finds.

Data is stored into a database with extensive find and findspot details.
If images are available, they will be displayed together with the find
information.

Usage
_____

The program is navigated by clicking the toolbar buttons. Button usage is
explained with tooltips. 

The first 6 toolbar buttons can be used to browse the database. Next, there is
a group of 3 buttons which can be used to apply changes that you have made to
the record, delete a record and add a new record. The last group of 3 buttons
will show a list view of all records, the preferences dialog and the help
dialog.

Notes
_____

Type, material and period information can be changed in the preferences
dialog.

It is best to keep your images in a square aspect ratio. The images will be
resized to 100x100 pixels by the program.

The maximum number of characters in all entries is 80, except for the find and
findspot notes, which can have a length of 220.

License
_______

Happydigger is free and published under the GNU GPL license. See the file
COPYING for details.
