As usual, your feedback is much appreciated.
"View Profile" button is permanently disabled. I don't have enough profile info within the software at the moment.
Great! Installed smoothly.
Some observations:
- It installs in a different location than that of v0.3, so I had to uninstall v0.3 first, otherwise I'd have two instances of the app in my PC.
- No shortcuts are placed in the Start Menu although there is now a desktop shortcut. [It's easy to move the shortcut anyway, but still...]
- The shortcut created has the "find location" button disabled. [Not many users access the shortcut properties, so this is no big deal.]
I'm looking forward to v0.5 to see if the setup file would simply upgrade the existing installation.
Great work!
This is due to switching to MSI based install. Once switched though, it should recognize previous MSI based installs and allow upgrades.
Still learning how to use MSI functions.
Took me at least half an hour to figure out how to place an icon on the desktop. 
Will address these soon.Consider it done.
Mee too!
Good stuff amigo, when I first ran the program after installing it, it gave me an error with an option to ignore. Something to do with an invalid integer or something along those lines, I meant to jot it down but I was hoping it would be persistent or saved to the log files. In any case I ignored the error and it seems to be running fine.
Seems like a great program, very intuitive and user friendly, good UI and all of that goodness. Only modifications I'd recommend is the ability to change the amount of each fish that have been added to your tank without removing and re-adding.
Otherwise, I like it a lot, plus it alerted me that harlequins and tiger barbs don't get along. Your program may have saved some fish from being pestered. I look forward to your next iteration. Thanks again!:thm:

If you ever encounter that error again, let me know please.
Not ideal, but you can select the same species again with a different quantity, then add. No need to remove. Still, I agree its better to do it on the right side control. Too lazy to learn all methods for that control.
Excellent.
