PS: until Spotlight can be properly re-enabled/re-implemented, would it make any sense to remove the 'Spotlight' command / menu item from the 'Help' menu, so as not to confuse users about functionality that isn't currently operative?

Hi Conor, thanks for your update on this issue back in December. You probably are already aware of this, but just to confirm, I'm using what I think is the latest version of Bookpedia (6.1.0, beta 192), and as far as I can tell Spotlight searching still seems to be not functional. I hope restoring S...

I'd just like to add my voice in requesting iCloud synch support. I understand this is a tremendous amount of work, and imagine a great many (if not most) users will tremendously benefit from and appreciate the capability. Would be tremendously useful to have a centralized database that synchs betwe...

thanks, very helpful. in the future would you consider adding a more obvious interface to this? this might be complementary to something like a tag cloud, or another way of visualizing (or at least accessing) the list of tags currently in use. (the Finder has a limited/rudimentary version of this ca...

is it possible at present (Bookpedia 5.9.2, beta 122) to rename an existing tag? For example if I have 20 books tagged "ABC" can I somehow specifically select that tag "ABC" and arbitrarily modify it, e.g. to "XYZ", such that all records/books associated with the tag au...

much appreciated!

ok, thanks for the word. I'll look forward to re-implemented Spotlight functionality in v 6.1 or 6.2. (btw, i don't know how you and other people feel about this, but for me Spotlight is very useful and much more important -- Dark Mode is a nice cosmetic enhancement, but Spotlight is not-quite-but-a...

hi, I'm using Bookpedia 5.9.2 (beta 122). Spotlight doesn't appear to be working -- I search for a book that I know I have in Bookpedia but nothing comes up. I've tried restarting both the application and the entire computer (which is running macOS 10.14.3). I've also tried toggling the 'Spotlight' ...

I was able to work around the problem: previously, per finewine's instructions, I tried importing a DL3 library file or an XML file exported from DL3. just now I tried one of the few things I haven't: in Delicious Library 3 I exported in DL1 format. Bookpedia was able to import that without a hitch.

The 10.12 and above requirement is coming with the 6.0 version. That sounds great, looking forward to it. Will this capability (specifically, being able to poll cloud services (DropBox, iCloud)) in the upcoming v6.0 release enable simultaneous access/editing only between two (or more?) Mac computer...

thank you FineWine for the specific instructions on importing my Delicious Library 3 library into BookPedia. Unfortunately however, when I tried dragging the Delicious Library Items.deliciouslibrary3 file over the Bookpedia icon on the dock, nothing happened (it wouldn't accept it), and similarly wh...

right you are! thank you very much, that's the trick. I didn't see that small button before.

thanks -- I wasn't aware the display order of the fields could be rearranged, this is very useful. however, about the comments field, I have it activated (I just checked Preferences --> Fields and the little box is checked; I didn't so anything to make this so, and so assume it was activated by defa...

those are good points. i guess that's the difference between casual thinking on my part and the much broader perspective and burden you have as a software designer!

is there a "comments" field in Bookpedia? in iTunes for example, one can Get Info on any given song/item in one's library (whether stored locally or in iCloud) and add arbitrary text for any miscellaneous (or structured) reason. Is there such a field or an equivalent in Bookpedia? For exam...
