Transfert de DVD Hunter

DVD Hunter, très bon produit pour classer sa DVD-thèque (et/ou Blu-ray) ne fonctionne plus sous Capitan. Joel Ares a repris son travail pour nous donner son successeur qui gère aussi d’autres supports (livres, disques, jeux). J’avais essayé d’autres bases de données mais je n’en avais pas trouvé d’aussi simple où il suffit notamment de saisir le titre pour qu’il aille chercher toutes les informations disponibles sur les banques internet, y compris la jaquette. Je viens donc d’installer Library Hunter 2 et j’ai pu importer sans problème apparent ma base de plus de 500 articles. Il me reste à tester la synchronisation avec la version iOS (qui rendait bien des services dans DVD Hunter), mais je n’ai pu encore installer cette dernière. Attention, si je ne met que 3 * c’est qu’Il reste encore du travail à Joel pour (ré)implémenter des fonctions manquantes de première importance : impression de listes, exportation en fichiers utlisables sous tableur etc.

Autocomplete

Contrairement à Book Hunter AUCUNE FONCTION AUTOCOMPLETE sur le Mac !!! Impossible de changer odre des livres sur iPad : Titres ou Auteurs !!!

How do search?

HPによると データをネットからダウンロードするという事だが、何も反応しない。 iCloud Sync も作動しない。 前のLibrary Hunter も使っていたんだが、結局 別のアプリに乗り換えた。 ちゃんと検索してくれたら 使いやすいアプリだと思うのだが。

Missing crucial features...

I used Book Hunter and was happy with it. Library Hunter is missing several crucial features that render it useless for any serious collector. 1. It refused to import my Book Hunter data. Apparently, the two programs have different database fields, and even when they have similar fields, the author has designated them with different terms. So Library Hunter doesn’t know what to do with Book Hunter’s data. It kindly asked me how to classify 30 different database fields. Obviously, I didn’t know either, since none of the choices in the dropdown menu matched. 2. Despite the software description’s claims that the user only needs to type in part of a title and the rest will be retrieved from the internet, this does not occur. There is no internet search feature that happens automatically, that exists in the app window, that lives in a menu, or that can be activated in preferences. It’s just not there. So I have to manually enter every single thing about every one of my thousands of books? I might as well just make a list. 3. There’s no option to scan the ISBN code like there was in Book Hunter. I could overlook this if the autocomplete internet search feature worked, but it doesn’t. Conclusion: Because of the features this app is missing, it’s useless to anyone who wishes to catalog a large number of books, movies, games, etc. because you will have to manually type in all the information.

Not the Hunter Suite

I used to use the old version of this app, which was part of the Hunter Suite. It was fantastic. But having one app for books, one for movies, and one for games got cumbersome. Enter Library Hunter. I could have all these databases in one handy place! While that certainly sounds great, this is missing a key feature the old version had. No autocomplete feature. You used to be able to enter the ISBN or barcode or title and the old app would search the web and find it for you. Library hunter? Not so much. You have to hand enter everything. When you’re entering multiple items at a time, this gets really old really fast. That glaring omission aside, this application is really useful when at the bookstore, trying to remember if you own that book. It also makes it rather simple to keep track of a larger collection. Add in the ability to autocomplete the entries and this becomes a 5 star app, and one that I belive would be an essential. Otherwise, it’s one that I only halfheartedly use.
