Scythebill 16.4 is now available! There's a "New for" column in checklist spreadsheets, a number of small import improvements, and other small fixes. As always, download here, and let me know if you have any problems, either on Facebook or by email.
Update: Scythebill 16.4.1 was released on June 2nd, with bug fixes to import handling of timestamps and new locations (especially affecting BirdLasser).
"New for" column for location checklist spreadsheets
The last release of Scythebill added an option for a "Lifer?" column when you save a location checklist as a spreadsheet. This release replaces it with a much more useful "New for" column, telling you not just if that checklist species would be new for you but how - whether it's new for your world list, the country (or state), or even if it'd be new for your world Photographed list (the latter only appears if you ever attach photos to sightings).
Import improvements
Other fixes
- If you "remember" a report from Show reports which used the "Times sighted" option, it'll now show the correct number on the home screen.
- Gibraltar is no longer considered part of the UK for the Total Ticks "Country" report. (I don't think any British birders consider Gibraltar sightings as part of their personal British list, but let me know if I've gotten that wrong!)
- You can now export "list-building imports" for eBird. These are described on the eBird site, but briefly, they let you include sightings which don't have an exact day. They'll be imported into eBird with the date January 1, 1900 and a visit comment of "life-list building checklist". These sightings will be included on your life list in eBird, but won't be publicly visible or used as data on eBird.
- Exporting data for eBird might create files which couldn't be imported, with an error message like "Observation time is required for protocol..."; these shouldn't appear anymore.
