Pocketpedia: can't download from amazon into my collection

Post by incidentally »

I've synced my DVDPedia collection with Pocketpedia.

When I browse Amazon on Pocketpedia, I can't add a DVD to my collection. I click the green download button, but under the "Select a collection" list there is nothing.

You can create a new Pocketpedia collection to add entries to by tapping the plus button on the 'Select a collection' screen. (It's in the top right corner.) That'll let you enter a name for the new collection and what kind of collection you'd like it to be - regular, wishlist or borrowed.

So I am unable to add to my current collection? I don't want a new, separate collection - I want to be able to sync to my main collection. Is that not possible?

This is not a feature yet. For the 1.0 we did not have the time to implement a backward sync (keeping everything updated becomes complex), so to avoid confusion we disabled the ability to add to a synced collection.

We do plan to add this ability in the future. I added more details to the answer to your other post.

On this same subject, I have 1700+ titles brought over from DVDpedia. Am I correct that I also can't delete any titles in that ( Library ) collection? The existing collection is under Collections/DVDpedia/Library. Anything new I create exists in Collections/PocketPedia/Libraryname. Until a sync back feature is added, I guess it makes more sense to add or delete in DVDpedia and then re-sync? Does that sound right?

By the way, great program. I hope it's generating DVDpedia sales.
