GeneralMineral labeling software

6th Mar 2013 22:07 UTCHenry Barwood

I am trying to create order out of my collecting. I have looked for mineral cataloging/labeling software and cannot find an active link to download/purchase such software. Can anyone direct me to a software where I can created a database and then print out labels from it? There were several discussions on this on Mindat, but I could not make any of them work when I gave it a try. Thanks.

Henry, you might try this one and see if it's what you are looking for. Go to Bob's Rock Shop, www.rockhounds.com/. In table of contents, scroll down to software for rock hounds. The is a labeling program called "Ososoft" that is freeware. Hpoe this is what you are seeking.


Regards, Gary

you could use the mindat catalogue tool and create labels from that....?


S'wot I do and it's very easy!

The Ososoft links are all dead. I was unable to find the software.

It is a win98 program so you may have trouble getting it to work on more recent OSes

Henry,


If you also need good versatile cataloging software (combined with label making) I use the following for my collection. It does cost a bit, but has a large built-in database and will generate labels in a variety of sizes and formats. I'm still cataloging - haven't got to printing labels yet - but it looks like I'll save paper by printing multiple same-size labels in batches.

David,


I downloaded the archived SW and it will run under Virtual XP on a W7 machine. I have no idea if all the functions will work yet, but the basics appear to all be there.


Woodrow,


The MineralDB appears quite solid, if a bit pricey for my needs.

i believe mineral movies has a label maker option free

Myself, I would just futz around with Excel and make up a label-printing component to go off from my Excel-hosted mineral database. I think it would be rather easy to do and the price would be right.

I am using Microsoft Access for cataloging. It can print labels, too, although I have not used it that way yet. (Still learning).

Henry,


I believe Rock Currier has such a program that he put a lot of attention into.


He would be glad to hear from you.


Hey you were missed in Tucson!


John Attard.
