DESCRIPTION
Book Collector... Browse your collection by author, genre, publisher, etc... or use the Thumbnail View to view your cover images. Sort and group on any field, print lists and export to HTML, CSV or XML. Use the integrated Loan Manager to track which books you loaned and to whom. Catalog your books in a database automatically. Just type author and title or type/scan the ISBN barcode to download all data from various sources on the internet (like Amazon and various library sites), including author, title, publisher, genre and the cover image.
A free trial edition of the program is available, which is limited to 100 books. If you decide you like it, you can buy a license key which can be used to unlock the program and remove the 100 book limit. Ordering is risk-free because of our 30-day money back guarantee.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.4.1:
Installation:
- Book Collector is now installed in /Applications instead of ~/Desktop
- Need administrator credentials to install in /Applications folder
Syncing Up TO Connect:
- The following fields will be uploaded from your local data when up-syncing AND are now editable as "user fields" in Connect :
- Publisher
- Format
- Nr of Pages
- Subjects
Upload your own cover images to Connect:
- After syncing UP, you can now also upload the Cover Images for books that don't have a cover image in Connect yet.
- You can now also upload your own cover image on the Edit Book page in Book Collector Connect, using the Browse (or Choose File) and Upload buttons.
Syncing Down FROM Connect, improvements to prevent unwanted changes to local data:
- Extra "Are you sure?" question before syncing down.
- New layout of Sync screen, with a BIG Upload button and a small Download button.
- Syncing down will never clear fields / make fields empty
- Syncing down will never update or add to existing local data values, EXCEPT when the local field is still empty. For example: no Authors, Genres or Subjects will be added to existing lists, Titles, Publishers, Pub Date, Nr of Pages, etc.. will not be overwritten.
- For Personal fields (purchase data, notes, rating, etc...) full syncing will be maintained.
- Syncing down will never un-link books
Linking:
- The question box "You have unlinked books. Do you want to link them now?" now has a "Never ask for these books again" option.
- Link Screen: When using "Search All" all exact ISBN matches are now
linked automatically (and removed from the queue)
- If you upload unlinked books, Connect will try to auto-link them by ISBN.
- After linking, the program does not auto-update the linked books anymore,
preventing unexpected (and possibly unwanted) data additions to your local entries.
Fixed:
- Scanning with OPR-3201 sometimes closes the Add Screen
- Export to iPhone: crashes on 10.4
- Export to iPhone: Sometimes not able to use the Update function
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later.
