Adding duplicate CDPedia entry into Pocketpedia Wish List

Post by milli »

Hey there. Relatively new user... you guys have created an incredible piece of software here. Well done.

I have a very specific scenario here and I'm wondering if there's a specific solution or if what I'm doing isn't possible yet.

I have all my CDs imported, however, I'm also a vinyl collector, and I have a Wish List in Pocketpedia of vinyls I'm looking to pick up. Since you don't (yet????) have an Amazon search option for vinyl records, I just do a CD search, find the CD version of what I'm looking for, and then add that to my Vinyl Wish List in Pocketpedia. However, there are a couple instances where I already own the CD version and it's documented in my CDPedia which I have synced up with my Pocketpedia. So, when I bring up the Amazon entry, instead of giving me the option to add the item to a collection, I get the "Star" option that is supposed to take me to the entry I already have. However this doesn't take me to the entry in my CDPedia, it just takes me to the list of my Pocketpedia collections. And if I go into my CDPedia and find the existing entry, I don't get the "Action" button option to make a copy of my entry elsewhere.

Is there any way for me to create this duplicate entry in my Pocketpedia? If not, might I request this feature to be added in the next update?

Again, great software, and I appreciate the help.

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for the detailed description. That is actually a bug we overlooked and we will fix it for the next version. We meant the star icon to appear only when the entry is part of a Pocketpedia collection. This is why the entry is not selected when you press the button as it only looks to select it inside one of the Pocketpedia collections. Of course it might also be useful to users to know that they have an entry in their synced collections. Either way will take a look at it and come up with a solution in the next Pocketpedia version. In the meantime you are kind of stuck, you would have to add the entry via CDpedia to a new vinyl wish list that is synced or remove the original from CDpedia for a while so that you could add a copy to your vinyl wish list collection. We also want to add manual entry and editing abilities to the next Pocketpedia; so that would also fix the problem, as you could add it directly with out searching Amazon.
