Re: Editing HTML For Details View Templates

Thank you so, so much... you guys are incredible. I'll (implement this over the weekend. And I'll hold myself from asking for more help, only because I know you will, and you surely have better things to do! But if I'm in a rut .... i'll call out. I just remembered how much fun it is to code, debug,...

Re: Editing HTML For Details View Templates

Hi FineWine, many thanks again on the intro to HTML use. I just got Brackets and am learning the rudiments fo HTML, just for fun... reminds me of my Basic, Lisp and C++ days some 30 odd years ago. Before I wade into all the HTML commands ... just a quick question. Can one display status badges (ie t...

Re: Two Other Minor Suggestions

[/quote] Why! the easiest method is already built in. If you hover your mouse over the 5 dots in the My Rating area and click on each Dot a Star will appear and if you second click on the Star it will change to a ½ character. You can also do this in the List View when the 'My Rating' column is displ...

Two Other Minor Suggestions

Bookpedia Suggestions Minor Tweaks 1) Star Ratings: Allow a Right Click option to change star rating (from contextual menu) and a short cut (shift-command 1 - 5). To accommodate half stars, shift-command # twice. Alternatively just pressing 1 - 5 gives star rating (shift 1 - 5 for half). Or pressin...

Editing HTML For Details View Templates

Perhaps this is not the place to ask but I have never used HTML (though I have some experience programming from my undergrad days and I've scripted FileMaker) I tried opening some of the html Details view files using the Mac Text editor, and it does not seem to have all the html details. Can one edi...

Re: Bookpedia Search Replace function

Thanks FineWine...stellar advice. I have three backup strategies.... 1) The database (including PDFs covers etc) are located in my Documents folder which is backed up to iCloud (with the requisite caution for using Bookpedia on another synched device). 2) I run Time Machine daily. 3) I have two sets...

Re: Bookpedia Search Replace function

Fabulous, thank you Conor for your detailed response, advise and feedback. I really appreciate it. I've been playing around with Bookpedia for the past week or so, and it is by far the best Book cataloger/manager on the market for Mac. DL3 was nice when it worked but even then it was severely limite...

1) Is there a way to prevent items marked as wish list from being removed from the main Library folder/group ? 2) Is it possible to repurpose the Checkbox fields "Sold" / "On Sale" and give them my own names (as I am not using this software to sell books)... someway to get under ...

Bookpedia : Edit Multiple Tags Not working

When selecting a bunch of records the edit multiple option should show the various bubble entries (so one can delete a particular entry en mass) I find that this does not work, and only occasionally do the tags come up in the Genre or Tag fields (and only some of them) Am I doing something wrong or ...

Don't Hide Checkbox if empty

I was wondering if it might make more sense to show the custom check box when "hide empty" in the edit panel is selected.
Since one might want to toggle these on or off, while editing/organizing records, it would be useful if they showed up all the time.
