Hi all, I don't visit here as often as I should [busy running a successful online used bookstore using Bookpedia to power my inventory and sales records!]. I noticed a new version was pushed out via software update recently, but the changelog screen shows the version I have installed. I am unsure wh...

Has this better (safer) sync between 2 Macs been implemented by now? We are at v6.2.1 I'd love to know this too, as I am having major data loss using Dropbox [Bookpedia being used on the same Dropbox database on 2 Macs in different physical locations, but Bookpedia is never running on both Macs at ...

I really miss on CDPedia a way to automatically sync my collection between the app, PocketPedia on my iPhone and PocketPedia on Apple TV. I have synced the Pedias automatically between my Macs (desktop and laptop) and between user accounts on those Macs by having the Pedia databases on Dropbox. Thi...

A quick followup - using my own Affiliate credentials none of these issues are happening for me [I finally got a sale using my affiliate links - I should really publish them more!]. The speed of the scans is also back to normal, and the bug that keeps coming back with multi add has gone away which m...

Using Amazon Test [because nobody has purchased any items via a website I have my affiliate link up on for a month], I get 90% miss rates on all the items I scan. This makes for a very, very slow data entry process. This is 100% reproducible for me. I use a USB barcode scanner on a book such as &quo...

I don't have a camera as a scanner - I use a USB Metrologic barcode scanner and this is using the multi-add ++ feature. I've noticed that depending if I use the Amazon Test vs my own Amazon Affiliate info, I get different results. My own Amazon affiliate creds will only allow certain kinds of media ...

I'm still getting this error. Scanning: 9781250069825 I get 'the river: a memoir' instead of Nine Perfect Strangers [hardcover] Scanning: 9781501145032 I get 'Loom Saga: The Complete Series' instead of The Operator [hardcover] This is using 'Amazon Test' and beta 148 I should note that the title is ...

Using beta 132, without Amazon Test [using my own creds]. I scan a book with this ISBN into the Multi ++ add box: 9780875847191 The result put into Bookpedia with Amazon US as the only source is: https://www.amazon.com/Human-Resource-Champions-Delivering-Results/dp/B002SESEAO?camp=2025&creative=...

Because I use Bookpedia for my bookstore, when i am adding items into it, I'm doing so in large groups [dozens of items], so they get scanned via a USB Metrologic barcode scanner. I typically scan in groups, wait for all the items to be added to a collection, and then multi-edit several fields from ...

If you search by ASIN directly do you get the proper result as well or just when using the cog wheel? Do try signing out of Amazon in Safari as a test and then searching. I might be overlooking some advertised books. Before I put my own Amazon Associates/Affiliate info in, the only way to get the p...

Since I have a lot of books to enter, I did some playing around. I was able to get Bookpedia to give the proper results only when not using Amazon Test from the Help Menu and instead using my own Affiliate/Associates ID instead.

Just downloaded/installed beta125...same issue persists. I can't get accurate results from Bookpedia with Amazon US as the only source. I scanned this barcode: 9780544273443 And I got a record with 2 fields filled out: Title: Darkness Series Boxed Set URL: https://www.amazon.com/gp/slredirect/picass...

Scanning this barcode with Amazon US only as the source: 9780062204479 results in a record without much data - a title, Redemption [the book is called Thankful, so the title is not right], and the URL field has https://www.amazon.com/gp/slredirect/picassoRedirect.html filled in. This has happened wi...

I use a Metrologic Voyager USB barcode scanner and I've scanned thousands of books with it. Works great! You can find them on eBay pretty cheap:

Hey Conor,

Just a quick heads up that while the Music and Movies sections seem to be working okay, the Books front end just produces a white page [it's been like this for a few days, as I've been spot checking every few hours]. https://doghouse.bruji.com/books/doghouse
