PackRat 0.28

PackRat is a compact, minimalist personal information manager.

PackRats goal is to store and retrieve contact, account and other personal private information on a USB stick and be able to access it from any machine without dependencies on installed applications or operating system.

Create, modify and enter data into tables. Search, highlight and view data with custom views. PackRat is a small, stand-alone executable jar file that will run anywhere a 1.4 or newer Java VM is installed.

Instructions:

The text box in the upper left corner of the application has multiple uses.

1. type in text and hit < enter > to filter the view to rows containing the text
2. the text in this field is used for adding or renaming tables, views or columns.

The X button clears the search and also re-sorts the rows based on your sort criteria.
The View button allows you to add, rename, delete or switch views on the current table.
The Table button allows you to add, rename, delete or switch tables.
Click a column to sort by its contents. Click again to reverse the sort.
Right-click a column to add, rename, delete or hide a column.
Double-click a cell to edit its contents (or just start typing with it selected).
Right-click a cell to add a row color key. Rows will be colored if the column contains the value in the current field.
The + button adds a new row.
The * button duplicates the currently selected row.
The - button deletes the currently selected row.
Use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V to copy and paste cell contents.
Use Ctrl-P to print a table view.
Drag and drop columns to re-order.
Resize columns to best fit the current data view.

Views preserve column order, size and search and sort criteria as well as row color keys.

Your data will be stored in a file called Noisy.bmp in the same directory as the jar. It will look like a square icon filled with noise when viewed as a bitmap. Why not.
