There isn't a way to modify the output right now, but the Books project operates on the principle "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". I'm happy to update the...
Send me some ISBN numbers and titles where this happens and I'll see if I can address it. If the library distinguishes between those fields in their records, I...
Hi all, I've got an iPod Touch (jailbroken of course) Has anyone found a good way of putting the Books info in a useable form onto the 'touch or iPhone? Thanks...
I have an incorrect spelling of a Genre title. How do I globally change it for the several dozen books to which it has been assigned? I can create a smart list...
You should go to preferences and check the box to disable tokenized input. Then select all of the books with the incorrect spelling (you can create the smart...
Ken Thanks a lot. That worked for me. Where do I find out what "tokenized input" does? Searching Help is still going on with no result after 5 minutes. Al...
Presently there is no way to put Books data on an iPhone/iTouch. I do have a copy of the SDK and I'll have a solution sometime over the summer after the 2.0...
... Tokenized input basically takes a delimited string such as string1; string2; string 3; ... And turns it into bubble tokens like the ones in Mail....
I have been thinking about this for a while, and I think that I am leaning toward the web as the preferable of the two options. However, if you could do a full...
Hi. I just started using books, and it's working nicely so far on my books. I wanted to start organizing my comic books so I downloaded the ComicBookDB plugin,...
... The problem with that plugin is that the site owners stopped us from using it. They changed their site to break the plugin. This is the major reason that I...
Using a MacBook Pro (has built-in iSight) running OS X 10.5.2 and Books 3.1.8. I am unable to read the BarCode from my books. I do get a screen with the red...
You're not missing anything. The problem is the combination of Books and the built-in iSight. I'll post a note when I have something fixed. -Chris PS....
I just started using Books today. While using the application, I added a book that didn't have a cover image with it. I read in another post that while your...
Just open the "Get Info" window, click on the photo and press "delete". You didn't say what filetype your cover image was, but whenever I need cover art that...
Thanks for the delete tip. But while I could open the get info window for a book that had a photo, the book that had a picture from Photobooth that couldn't...
... Books doesn't have any limits for cover sizes. ... This is a bug in the current version. It's on my list of things to fix. ... Books stores files at ...
Thanks for the location info Chris. I went and played around with adding images again. I confirmed that when I dropped photos from inside the Photo Booth...
... Thanks for the report. I'll look into this. You can copy and paste images into the cover well, so it's surprising that it doesn't work with PhotoBooth...
I seem to detect some confusion on how to add images to books, CDs, magazines. Here's a quick and easy (dirty?) way of doing it. Find or scan the cover needed....
I am using version 3.1.10. I can not add my data such as "Date started' or Date Finished". How do you add that data? The quick fill works just fine but I...
It appears to me that I need to add (type the field name) into the "extended info " window then enter the value for each new book. I view the books in the...
Hello - I'm new to this forum, and fairly new to Books. When i installed Books, its various files were put in /username/Library/Application support. Is it...

The built in iSight camera in my aluminum iMac isn't working very well for scanning UPCs. Books' help file says other cameras can be used to scan books, but I...
I'm not really sure what I should do in this kind of situation, other than entering it all in by hand, which I'd rather not do. I have the book 'Illusive -...
I can't imagine why it isn't finding it on Amazon with Quickfill, but on my system, it just searches and searches without returning anything. Chris may be able...
Thanks. I changed the search to Library of Congress and it came up fine. It wasn't hard to find a cover image then. It's weird it won't show up in Amazon. Ah...
