PDF Support, and double click

Post by hamellr »

Bookpedia:

-I'd like to be able to either drag and drop a folder (or a selection of PDF) files into bookpedia, OR be able to mass import them. I have roughly 2000 .pdf files so either of these would be a huge help.

-When looking at PDFs, it would be nice to have a link that either previews the file or opens Preview/Acrobat to read it.

-Possible to add in Powells.com for book look ups?

DVDPedia

- Make the URL field clickable

Drag the PDFs over Bookpedia's dock icon and it will import them all. The first page will be created as cover and as much information as it can extract from the metadata will be imported. The entries will also all be linked to the PDF and you can use the link in the info view to view the PDF in Bookpedia or in Preview (in preference under style check "open links in external browser"). You can also quickly drag a PDF over an existing books info view to create a link. The title of the book in the info view should be clickable and will be the URL if there is no ASIN number also from the add/edit panel the URL field has an "@" that will take you to the URL.

We are trying to limit new sites to only sites that provide an API.

Thank you for all the feedback.
