Ideas Genie Pro 6 - Released 2015 / Re: The use of "pot history"

Suggestion:
Would it no be wise and interesting to add in screen GA628S02 the name 'Locations' (like 'Colour', 'Total cost' and so on) ?
Thus one would known where the NON-USED pots (containers) are = in which location of the garden or shed?

Why 'Locations' in stead of 'Location'? The same containers could one find on different locations, so one should have the possibility to choose there.

Onderwerp: CASE STUDY: Seeding & planting & lifting 20 specimens Helianthus annuus 'Velvet Queen'

Hello George
I hope everything goes well with your family and you.
Beneath a case study IGPRO 6 with some bugs appearing.
CASE STUDY: Seeding & planting & lifting 20 specimens Helianthus annuus 'Velvet Queen'
I.History:
01/05/2023 10 containers C17 (2 seeds 'Helianthus Velvet Queen' per container) Location "Concrete slab itself side garden left'. No germination because of the slugs
26/05/2023 the same 10 containers C17 filled with 2 seeds 'Helianthus Velvet Queen'. Now there was full germination.
26/07/2023 9 containers C17 out planted location 'Side garden left Hill 1 drive'.
31/07/2023 1 container C17 out planted location Back Garden IV
01/12/2023 The 20 specimens 'Helianthus annuus Velvet Queen' are lifted as perished.
II. Input in IGPRO 6 with 'Split' works but a bug (see beneath):
1. In screen GA100S23 with 10 times 'Split' I have filled on 01/05/2023 10 containers C17 (each with 2 seedlings 'Velvet Queen') (see Case study screen 1 in annexe), namely:
  C17-24-6 with specimen 2023-440-10
  C17-25-6 with specimen 2023-440-6
  C17-26-6 with specimen 2023-440-7
  C17-27-4 with specimen 2023-440-8
  C17-28-4 with specimen 2023-440-5
  C17-29-3 with specimen 2023-440-2
  C17-30-3 with specimen 2023-440-3
  C17-31-3 with specimen 2023-440-4
  C17-32-3 with specimen 2023-440-1
  C17-33-3 with specimen 2023-440-9

Remarque GA100S23: Cost price 3.50€ for 42 seeds + Qty seed sown= 40 (namely 10x2 + 10x2)+ Specimens quantity left from 42-40=2
Batch reference HeliVlvt261
2. Because in the 'batch file' these specimens were 'living' under 'alive', I have given in 'death' at 26/05/2023 so that in the batch file 'living' disappeared under 'alive'
3. Afterwards I have filled these 10 containers (C17-24-6->C17-33-3) with 10 other specimens 'Velvet Queen' (with the help of 2022-440-1 garden location: Seed packet flowers)
; reason: the first 20 seedlings no germination because of slugs.
Specimens: 2022-440-2 -> 2022-440-11= the 10 other specimens (2 seeds each)
4. With the help of 'Edit container' I have 'potted out' the 20 specimens in the 10 containers, this at 26/07/2023' Side garden left HIll 1 drive' (namely 9 containers) + 1 container 31/07/2023 Back garden IV.
5. Finally at 01/12/2023 have I put the 20 specimens to "perished".

Ps. I have lefted 2022-440-9 and 2022-440-10 alive so you can test this (see batch file in my latest database of 20/01/2026). Why?
BUG= When you click on for example 2022-440-9 batch file (living) and you in screen GA100S23 click on 'specimen events' + then "add an event' and choose 'death 01/12/2023 + save->
the batch file indicates always that this specimen is still alive (=not correct). It is just when one give in the 'specimen profile' page GA100S23 click on 'perished' that in the batch file there is no longer indication this specimen is living (death= blanc space there)

III. Input in IGPRO 6 with 'use multiple pots' GA100S90-> impossible= one have to exit the program (see my earlier emails-
BUG=error:
Program name:- GA629/35
Error No:- 1734
Error Message:- Property FIRSTPOTNO is not found.                                                                   
Line Number:- 30
Program Code:-                                                                                                     
Program method:- GA100S90.ADDMULTIES                                         

IV. CAN YOU FIX THIS PLEASE? Case study may be used at the forum or for the help screen you create
 
In annexe 2 screens (screen 2 with the 2 specimens 2022-440-9 and 2022-440-10 lefted for you to test it, namely 5 The batch file )
I will send you today also my latest database of 20/01/2026

UPDATE 1
Pot history:
The 10 first specimens of 2023-440-1 to 2023-440-10 (apart from 6 = well) are not potted out at 26/07/2023 (9times) and 31/07/2023 (1 time)

UPDATE 2
When adding for the SECOND time 2 Qty of a specimen (for example now by Helianthus annuus 4ruby' 2023-485-3 as second) IGPro give a warning screen (see screen 3 not in annexe). At the end the second qty of species is in the container (see screen 4 in annexe)

Christmas in only a few days time!

Just the shopping for the festivity essentials here, then its time to relax and look forward to welcoming our family here when we all get together to celebrate Christmas Day

Too wet for the garden here in Ireland so a good excuse to take it easy

From our family to yours, we wish you a very Happy Christmas, good health and good luck in the New Year and beyond.

Quite pleased with this one. Slightly different to my usual rubbish.
