Here is the final release for a while. It is a re-design, taking into account everyone's feelings about the previous release limitations.

-I have sorted out scrolling the large images. It now works in the expected way by placing the finger anywhere on the screen and dragging.

-The interface has the most useful options on it as buttons, down the side.

-I added a GPS feature too. You can add the currently displayed bird, with date and latitude/longitude, to a text file holding all your bird-location observations.

-Photos are added to the main display as an optional viewing choice.

Hope you like it. :)

Sarah

PS... anyone able to make a mirror of the main download?

Sarah,

Thanks very much for your update.

I just "installed" the program on my PC. Contrary to the previous versions, the image of the programme on my screen is not complete anymore. A part of the right side and a part of the lower site are missing. Is there anything I can do to restore the full image?

Thanks,
Alfred

Same problem here (on PC en PDA) and the program doesn't show the images (image not available), in the PBEdata folder are the images available.

I have just installed the latest v3.3 on my Diamond....

Firstly I would like to say well done.

A good mix of my favourite v2.4 (well was my favourite), glad to see the buttons back up the side, the two main button with habitat and groups are perfect, search button is there, info, the larger illustration complete with finger scroll works flawlessly (although the images are a little blurry on my VGA screen text is difficult to read, please lets have a VGA version). also even when in options I toggle show photo's all I get is the unable to view image.
The new GPS function once setup seems to work brilliantly, yet I am not sure where or what this actually does and where it stores the information ?

LAYOUT 10/10
SPEED 9/10
EASE OF USE 10/10
IMAGE QUALITY 5/10

this in my opinion is the starting point of the perfect bird watchers application, needs a VGA version as soon as possible, a few problems need to be sorted but superb overall, well done again

If you change the extension of the images .jpg to .jpx then the program will show the images. I am using a touch diamond 2 and the program works o.k on the device.

Thats strange, it works for me. Just to be clear, i'm talking about the jpg-images of the PBEdata.
