Well, back after a short hiatus. I am still working on this but ran into a bit of a stumbling block. Namely the size that the database can get to, as well as learning the ins and outs of the Android coding structure. Currently my plan is now to just catalog by set, and still indicate where each piece is. With luck the size will not get out of hand. I will come back when I have something more concrete to show off.

As I stated here are some screen shots, The UI is currently functional, but not Pretty: The Main window: https://flic.kr/p/qgWZeR The part Importer: https://flic.kr/p/pZzb69 the breakdown: https://flic.kr/p/qgWYM8 The Viewer: https://flic.kr/p/pZynV1 Unfortunately it does not seed I can currently do images directly but if you follow the links you will see for your self.

Thanks. Been working on it off and on for a few years now. I will post some screen shots of the windows app soon. As for totals, it does list the totals for each set/step but not the grand totals.

Greetings, One of the things I have found most exasperating about our hobby is trying to find the piece you are looking for, even when you have everything sorted into nice bins / drawers. Which is why I have been working on a Database that allows: importing the base info files (Color, Category, Parts, Sets, etc...) from XML files from Bricklink. Importing your sets via an XML file from Bricklink. Importing all the pieces into the Database and cataloging the Bin / Drawer they go in (I use a grid system i.e. Bin 03 Drawer A3 would be the 3rd drawer down of the left most column. Capturing screen shots of the parts / minifigs / sets from Bricklink images for local storage. Breaking down each set for the required parts down to each instruction step (the smallest unit, but they could be grouped together if you want) Viewing the breakdowns as either all Parts, or filtered by a range of instruction steps, or a named sub build. Editing individual parts storage locations There are still a few things I would like to add into it: Ability to add individual Parts (in the case that Bricklinks downloads are incorrect.) Ability to remove individual parts (once again, see above) Ability to import a moc (not sure how I would do this yet.) Generate a Printable page of parts in collection for labeling the bins / drawers. Port it to Android (Never done an Android app) Things I do not see a need for it to do: Give a running total of elements, It is primarily for locating and helping with rebuilding established sets, so assumptions that you have the parts are made. Though with some Ideas I could be persuaded otherwise. It is currently coded in C3 WPF, using a SQL CE database file for storage. I am testing it out with my normal winter village build and so far seems to be working as I had hoped. Much better then the previous attempt. Anyways the point I am bring this up is I am looking at generating interest. what you opinions are, and what you might think of as a cool/neat feature that might be added. Thanks for reading. I may be posting screenshots later.

Good day, My name is Dragma and I am A AFOL. I have not done much Mocing outside of an annual Halloween build different each year. and Collecting the winter village sets for my own Christmas Village (Got the Santa Workshop. But mostly what I have been working on is my own Inventory software, that not only catalogs the part breakdowns of each set (using XML files from BrickLink), but also Tells you where each part is located in your inventory, and breaks them down further by Book, Page, and Instruction Step, Which you can then gather pieces for from your collection. Currently it is just done using c# and WPF, but ultimately I would like to port it to Android as an App. Mainly I am here to determine the possible desirability of such a program. and to get feedback and Ideas for features it could have. So that out of the way, I am happy to be here.
