Also, for WINE users (and possibly Windows users as well, I haven't tested this program on Windows yet - could you please tell me whether the following is the intended behavior on Windows as well, babayaga ?) : when saving the database, it may seem like the program is frozen and the computer may refuse to respond to certain commands (such as the Meta key on your keyboard). Just wait for a bit, eventually the database should be saved and things should go back to normal.

The native Linux version does not seem to have that issue, but admittedly I am not sure whether there is a "save whole database" feature on the Linux version, or if your changes get uploaded one by one.

I haven't noticed it, but im sure it's when its connected to the sql database, i should add a wrapper for it, then it would be solved, thanks for letting me know :)
