Just DL'ed the app. very nice. I've noticed though that my preferences on book look up don't stick. B&N while nice is not my choice. I'd like Amazon US, same...
Yes, thank you. I reinstalled everything and through away something that was probably corrupted. Books is now working well. Thanks for your diligent follow...
... There is no way to customize this short of writing your own plugin (or customizing the Amazon one). ... What field names are you trying to use? Can you...
I may be missing something, but I can't find a way to specify a custom field (Height) for all book records. I seem to have to add it every time I create a 'New...
... At the moment, there is no way of batch-adding user-defined fields. Let me think about this and see if I can come up with a decent solution. ... You'll...
This is an interesting suggestion. The fields which are pre- programmed (Keywords, Format, Edition, etc.) are good with me, but like David Thomas, there are a...
... thanks ... ...Yes, that's what I have been doing. But they don't appear in Details unless they're not default fields (if you see what I mean). Very odd. ...
On second thoughts, it's not so much a matter of batch adding (which I take to mean selecting a number of existing records and making a common change to all of...
Sorry, me again. A thought: if defining a default user/custom field(s) is difficult, how about adding a drop- down menu to the "Add Field" box ? In the same...
It turns out part of my problem was my own fault (but not I think all ...). I wanted to display my custom field (Height) in Details. Uncheck in Preferences the...
Hi All, I'll post this to the wiki as well, just wanted some faster feedback. What I'm trying to do is export a part of my library. I have books & DVDs in my...
In your preferences, check that you've selected "Export selected items". You should be able to export things as you've tried without any problems. -Chris...
Hi Paul, check the Books Preferences. On the "Main" panel there should be a check-box that says "Only export selected items". Make sure it's checked and give...
Howdy, I'm using the latest update of Books and trying to input a classroom worth of books. We got 145 books into the process and the program got suck trying...
... It shouldn't be common. If you can replicate the problem, can you export collection (before the batch quickfill) using the Books folder exporter and send...
Thanks for the answer to working on multiple computers. Will my custom genres transfer automatically between the two machines through the Books Exporter? Do...
Hi, I have been using BOOKs for a while now and like the program very much. The library I'm organizing is totally made up of electronic documents. So the...
Books is operating properly. The default (and only) behavior is to copy files to the Application Support folder for safekeeeping. This is done so that moving...
Hi Chris, WOW..... thanks for the quick response. Sounds like a good fix. I'll give it a shot this afternoon. Thanks again for the wonderful program. Bill...
Hi again, I tried using an alias but BOOKs still loads the file said alias points to in App Support. I even tried deleting the file in app support and...
Sorry if this ends up as a double post, I thought I already sent this but I dont see it. linking to an alias just puts the file in App Support anyway. When I...
Hi! Thanks for Books. In a previous version of books you could add location entries to a drop down menu. In the latest version, it seems that location always ...
