Re: Adding a book produces the wrong URL

Awesome! Thank you so much, Conor! I'm downloading the latest beta right now and I will probably be putting more inventory in later tonight and tomorrow to test it out. Thank you!

Re: Adding a book produces the wrong URL

One more I came across that I did scan with a barcode and not hand type. Even after removing the incorrect info and using the cog wheel to fetch info about ASIN 0465009131, the URL field still pointed to the Kindle version: https://www.amazon.com/Fixing-My-Gaze-Scientists-Dimensions/dp/0465020739 So...

Date Added bug

Beta 112 of Bookpedia - noticed this issue today - when scanning books in via barcode or entering them manually [via the multi add ++ button], the "Date Added" field is populated with the exact, correct time/date stamp. However, when one edits anything in the record, later on, by double cl...

Re: Adding a book produces the wrong URL

Hi Conor, While this bug seems to have been squashed when I enter books via the barcode, I did come across an edge case just now. I have an old book with an ASIN only and had to type it in: B00O3HE9SA When entering it into Bookpedia, the URL field filled in with the 2018 copy: https://www.amazon.com...

Re: website goes down after handful of submissions

Hi Conor, Thanks for the info - glad it wasn't me that was doing any kind of crashing! I am unsure they would be a good match, but I have a DreamHost account and have used their mysql database as a backup for some stuff, and the service and speed is good for my needs. Maybe you can give them a try, ...

website goes down after handful of submissions

I'm trying to submit a good portion of my Bookpedia collection and I am noticing that when I select a collection to submit, after a few minutes, the website front end goes down [just a blank white page] - this is for the main Books page, as well as the books I've submitted page [as well as the rest ...

Re: Adding a book produces the wrong URL

Conor - you *rock*! I have not found a good reason for why the URL changes - often it is just the paperback version of the hardcover I enter [or hardcover version of the paperback i enter, or sometimes the MP3 audio book version of a paperback that i enter; the kindle issue that used to be a problem...

Re: Sync between Macs

Thanks, Conor! I look forward to the next version! :) It could be possible that 2 users would be working on books in the same collection [one editing an entry, adding sales data to it, and one adding an entry to the collection]. I keep multiple backups of the Bookpedia database, but even so, I'd rat...

Re: Sync between Macs

I did not realize one could successfully relocate the bookpedia database to Dropbox - that is great! One thing you mentioned at the end, though - "since you won't be in 2 places at once..."....well, what if I am? :) Would a user on computer 1 be able to add books to the database while a di...

Adding a book produces the wrong URL

I've had this issue for quite a while, and while it seemed to disappear for a few releases, it is currently back again and causing some headaches for me. Using Amazon US only [i sell on there, so i don't use any other source when scanning books into Bookpedia, as I use the app as my inventory app], ...

Re: date bug and persistent focus bug

A slight update to my Jan 12th post about the edit window popping up. With beta 110, this issue still happens, but after hitting ESC, focus does return to the Multi ++ add window, so I no longer need to hit the tab key. But the main issue of manually entering an ISBN and the add title/edit window po...

Re: date bug and persistent focus bug

Conor - I haven't found any unusual datestring issues since your 110 beta. The focus issue is still there, as I did something unusual a bit ago and copy/pasted an ISBN into the multi add window: 1935507338 then I hit return [on the main part of the keyboard]. Bookpedia then added and opened the book...

Re: date bug and persistent focus bug

This was a tough bug to fix. As it has a lot to do with localization and date formats preferences on the computer as FineWine pointed out. Also that it's no longer supported by Apple to be lenient on how you enter dates. They want you to stick to the formats you have on your preferences. Do please ...

Re: date bug and persistent focus bug

Yeah, I posted before I tested. Sigh. The system preference was also like yours and I assumed that is what was causing the issue. But I just tested it [busy day!] and if I type 11/15/2018 into the Purchased On field in Bookpedia, it results in the year 2020 being added. My 'Other dates' also looked ...
