Hi.
A bit of background.
I have a lot of stuff. At least compared with some others, and according to my GF, way too much
.
About 400m3, ~10000 or so items ~100 pallets. So not THAT much, but too much for my memory.
About a year ago when I moved and had to pack and move 'em, it became pretty obvious that even though I did remember 99% of the stuff I had, the location was a mystery (being 40 does that to Ya
). I have been thinking about a storage software for a few years now, but as I lived 10 years in that last location, I didn't quite need one, I pretty much always found what I needed (I still remember their former location even after a year). I did start one catalog in Excel, but as it didn't quite work for me, after the HD crash I didn't recreate it.
It's a bit different now, since I had to pack in a relative hurry, and everything is mixed up in several buildings and vehicles. I'm in a process of organizing my storage areas so cataloging everything seems like a good idea at this point.
That's why I once again turn to You, my fellow TBers. Someone has to know a program that preferably has the following
searchable storing parameters.
1. Location, by name/group/code
2. Content(s) of that said location
3. Pic(s) of the item(s) in that specific location
4. Cross-searchable tags as: spares for XX, for sale in YY, in auction, NOS, unused, broken, etc.
5. Every item has to be easily re-assignable to an existing location.
The OS will most likely to be either XP or Ubuntu.
I do know of several manufacturing scale softwares, but those are IME too complex and heavy for such a simple task.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards
Sam
