I am really excited to say that the Research Foundation for State University of New York really did embrace Geopaparazzi for some of their projects and sponsored a nice piece of functionality:
This is a functionality that has been in the wishlist of many Geopaparazzi users and thanks to Tim Howard and his group, it is going to happen really soon.
I also hope to get them to write us a nice post about their use of Geopaparazzi in the field of mapping invasive species.
Since these new functionalities were calling for a geopaparazzi 4.0 release, it was about time to also do one other long wished (at least by me) change: make the Geopaparazzi project single file based, in order to be self-contained and compact.
I won't keep this post really long right now, it is more about letting you know what we are up to next and also thank the Foundation for State University of New York for the sponsorship.
To explain a bit the two main changes that will be in Geopaparazzi 4, a small preview of it in two quick and simple videos.
The first one focuses on the new project structure, which has changed from a folder structure to a single sqlite file:
The second one shows how to use the spatialite polygon creation and editing tools:
We are currently in testing phase and some small things may change, but this is more or less what it will look like.
Geopaparazzi 4 is going to be exciting, I am looking forward to it!
Enjoy!!
PS: There are two major downsides to this migration:
EDITING OF POLYGONS IN A SPATIALITE DATABASE!

PS: There are two major downsides to this migration:
- we will need a conversion tool to transform old Geopaparazzi projects into the new, single file based, project format. I have a huge archive of hiking and travelling projects I can't loose... they are kind of my diary.
- the OSM tools were currently lost in the process, since the database notes structure has changed
