Two questions: Is there a way to specify a master database on the network without Dropbox and without file-sharing — but using (Mac OS X) aliases instead? And when you say: Bookpedia always acts as the master database, and timestamps on the last sync as well as a sync log is used to perform the two ...

No problem re the delayed response. No problem also re data loss: I was only testing this arrangement, no actual data were harmed! Not least for my own benefit I would surely like to help figure out what's wrong — but this hope may not be realistic. Regardless of where the fault lies, if the sharing...

Conor, in the immediately preceding post I mentioned two error messages thrown up by Bookpedia: 1. "The file cannot be opened." 2. "The database in memory is not in a valid state and will be reloaded from the hard disk." (See the previous post for context.) Can you offer any guid...

Has anyone modified or customized the templates for the "Window" details style?

I'd be interested to see what you've come up with (and how).

Thanks for the response. If the database are copies of each other Yes, this is what I intend. then you should have a system in place to sync them without the use of Pocketpedia. Most users user Dropbox for this, keeps the Bookpedia data folder synced and shared via several Bookpedias. This way there...

The available interface for an LOC search does not offer LCCN as a search key.

If instead of searching "All" you search only the Library of Congress, and then you "limit" the search to "None," your result pops up right away.

Hi, I have several Macs and several iOS devices. At the moment Bookpedia runs on one of the Macs and Pocketpedia runs on two of the iOS devices. Is it possible to "sync" Bookpedia databases between two Macs? If so, how? Can the databases be "two-way synced"? And if on the same ne...
