Wildlife Recorder: simple imports to Scythebill, and a request (1 Viewer)

[awiner]

The good news: in the next couple of weeks or so I plan to have a version of Scythebill out which can import directly from Wildlife Recorder databases - their .mdb files. This means no need to do per-country exports and imports, or separate exports of the location files, or even run Wildlife Recorder at all. Just grab the .mdb files from Wildlife Recorder - or even a Wildlife Recorder backup - and import in one go. It'll also import trip notes, observer info, etc. - a lot more than the current version of Scythebill.

And I'm perfectly happy if people download Scythebill, use this feature once to extract their data, turn around and re-import elsewhere (like iGoTerra, eBird, etc.), and then never touch Scythebill again. Or, heck, fine by me if someone wants to use my source code to support this in other software.

I've had a couple of users share their .mdb files with me, and that's been enough to get this feature working well. But there's some Wildlife Recorder features they didn't use, so I haven't been able to reverse-engineer those parts of WR's storage. Specifically, I'd hugely appreciate seeing copies of .mdb files using these features:

• Stored media in Wildlife Recorder - it looks like these are stored in separate Media.mdb files (I'd need the main file and the Media file).
• Any of these eBird trip fields: EBirdDuration EBirdArea EBirdDistance EBirdPartySize EBirdProtocol EBirdAllRecords
• "Pinpoints" for sightings.
