AI-assisted occurrence searches

iNaturalist Identification 1.2 available for download from “Transfer Big Files”:
http://tbf.me/a/BxAlcw (The link expires on February 10th).

Fixes included: configurable main window height ; API daily quota enforced (10k requests/day) ; “only_id=true” and “id_below” in observations pages requests ; grouped observations data download (resulting in half less API requests) ; ignore observations with identifications, still returned despite the filter “identified=false” for reviewing only the “Unknown” (cf. “User has opted-out of Community Taxon”).

Tracking: in every API request, the header ‘user-agent’ identifies the tool as “iNaturalist Identification/1.2”.

How to reduce the number of API requests?
Select “Skip observations submitted after: YYYY” at application startup.
Or use the same option in the settings file, for instance: SkipObservationsSubmittedAfter=2017
Less results requires less requests to keep these results uptodate.
