Has the widget changed from its description in the Help? Help says that "Clicking the little 'i' button in the lower left-hand corner of the widget window will take you to the back of the widget." I can't see any 'i' button. Also, if I have an item in my Wish List that I want to buy, is th...

I think there would be problems with TVPedia, given the differences between TV programs in various countries, and a lack of detailed information.

I use DVDPedia, with a note that the item is not actually a DVD.

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do. You can - and probably should - use Location as one of the entries for each book. Then you can look for a book and find its location, or you can search for all books in a given location. And there is a column for the Dewey classification, though you mi...

Yes, I got it working in TextEdit. It is just a matter of getting the scan physically right. Probably one has to take time to develop the skill. For the small bunch of items I was currently dealing with (DVDs this time) after finding I had to try several times on each item to get a result, I decided...

Later. I found info on the Web indicating that all I needed to do was to ignore the Setup Assistant and just close its window. Sure enough, it seems to work ok in Bookpedia. I might want to make a text file of bar codes (so that I can work offline to enter the codes, and go online later to search). ...

I have just got hold of a Cuecat and am having problems getting it set up. When I plug it in, a window labelled Keyboard Setup Assistant appears, with the message "Your keyboard cannot be identified and will not be usable until it is identified. To identify the keyboard press Continue." So...

Further to my recent post.

If I search for a title A River of Sound, even with the stntax

&Title=A River Of Sound

I get quite a few items. I think it is every item whose title contains both River and Sound.

Does using quotes, either single or double, guarantee the extact title?

I'm evidently not doing things the right way, as your answer does not fit with what I see. I will try your keyword suggestion and see how that works, and the new pedia versions, when they appear, will also help.

I don't have a Mac that has iSight yet. So I have ordered a CueCat scanner from eBay. They are cheap enough, even from the USA to Europe, that this is a valid solution, assuming they work well enough.

I am looking for items in CDPedia via "add items manually", which seems to be more convenient at the moment than the search by keyword (and the CDs have no case, hence no visible code). I often get the drawer showing several possibilities, and from time to time the same item occurs more th...

I was thinking about the possibility of different databases. Partly because when one has a very large database, adding items is slow. It might be faster to add items to a small database, and then import it. Find and Replace also might be useful (perhaps with options to specify which fields one wante...

I'll run out of questions soon, as I get used to a new program. After one has done a simple search (say, for an author) what's the neatest way of getting back to the full library? I have a large book database (around 4000 books), so I am not surprised that actually adding a book (as distinct from re...

Maybe this already exists, but as many z39.50 sites seem to need a user name and password, it would be useful to be able to add such sites with the required name and password (either manually or automatically, preferably automatically). Being on the faculty of a college, there are several sites I th...

One reason I decided on the 'pdias rather than other programs was the forums, and your speedy responses to queries.

I managed to do what I needed by restricting to the Imdb (if I have the name right) rather than cascading.
