Save directly to iDisk. There's nothing that is path specific because I copied the published MobileMe folder to the iWeb path and it works with no worries. - Darryn Lowe Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:28:11 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/reviews/other/delicious-library-2.html#comment-427 Good point. Also aside from MobileMe, you can publish to a folder on desktop, an FTP server, or iWeb. Then have control of where and how you wish to publish. - MattD Tue, 05 Aug 2008 13:18:27 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/reviews/other/delicious-library-2.html#comment-426 Cool. I never realised that it stored entries. Mind you I didn't really delve too deep into it. :) What could be done with apps that publish to MobileMe would be simply to do what MacGourmet (reviewed under the Recipe Management review) does in that it allows you to publish to which directory you want instead of automatically setting it. This way you can set the publish directory to /Web/Sites/deliciouslibrary and this will work as: http://web.me.com/lowededwookie/deliciouslibrary or if you have a personal domain http://www.lowededwookie.com/deliciouslibrary Even if it's hardcoded to save here it won't be a massive change for these companies. - Darryn Lowe Mon, 04 Aug 2008 17:19:58 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/reviews/other/delicious-library-2.html#comment-425 Darryn, the BT scanner I was referring to does exactly that. It stores multiple items in memory and then when in range it downloads to DL2. I have an early Flic BT Scanner. The newer RoV looks similar but is meant to be an improvement. Understand it can store [quote]If you've got a lot of items and a Bluetooth-equipped Mac, get our second-generation RoV® wireless LASER barcode scanner to scan in items from all over your house, business, school, church, synagogue, or small unmapped pacific island full of polar bears. If you wander out of wireless range, the scanner automatically remembers up to 4,000 barcodes that will be imported the next time you're back near your computer.[/quote] Thanks for heads up on .Mac/Mobile me... have not updated my library for a while. - MattD Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:20:47 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/reviews/other/delicious-library-2.html#comment-424 A bluetooth scanner might seem cool but you've still only got a 10m range and that will be affected by shelves etc. It would be interesting to see if it supports PDTs (scanners with internal memory) so that you can scan the barcodes then dump them to Delicious Library. Failing this your best bet is to have DL on a MacBook or MacBook Pro and go to each area. That way also you can do manual searches if nothing is returned by the search engine. It would be great to have a New Zealand or even just an Australian search so when this comes it will be awesome although who they'd do the searches through is anyone's guess. Maybe Real Ripoff I mean Real Groovy? Something interesting to note about MobileMe publishing. Apparently any application that publishes to MobileMe needs to be rewritten as HomePages is being shutdown. HomePages is different to iWeb's location so effectively if you have a MobileMe account currently you have two websites available to you. With HomePages being shutdown everything will have to be published to the same place iWeb would normally publish to. This in my opinion is a great thing because it keeps directory structures simple. It also means that your Delicious Library would be able to use your domain name if you have one setup. So for example instead of: http://homepages.mac.com/lowededwookie/deliciouslibrary it could be: http://www.lowededwookie.com/deliciouslibrary Personal domains aren't available to HomePages only iWeb sites. - Darryn Lowe Sun, 03 Aug 2008 09:44:31 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/reviews/other/delicious-library-2.html#comment-423 Track and participate in feedback, discussions, questions and ideas on [url=http://getsatisfaction.com/deliciousmonster/products/deliciousmonster_delicious_library]GetSatisfaction[/url] or the older style [url=http://forums.macnn.com/delicious-monster/]forum[/url] on MacNN - MattD Sun, 03 Aug 2008 08:44:08 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/reviews/other/delicious-library-2.html#comment-422 Great thanks for review. The key localisation issue for NZ is that there is not searchable database available for region 4 products. DL2 was a massive architectural change, and incorporates full integration with Leopard There are a lot of fantastic v2 features that build upon a great product. - Spotlight integration - Quicklook to view items even when DL2 is not running - Core Animation for deleting items (burning books, shattering DVDs etc) - CoreData framework support with major performance improvements, and large libraries, where v1 used to get bogged down - Controllable via Apple remote control (including starting songs, movies, 'Look Inside' ) - Bonjour sharing of other libraries on your network - Ability to import friends' libraries (if published to web) - AppleScript support (excellent) - Amazon 'Look Inside' preview of books - Visual image outline for Gadgets and Tools - Multiple Currency Support and conversion - Recommendations and items Owned! and many more Also great to use with Bluetooth Scanners as you do not need to bring all items to you desk. It scans vast amount of items and stores in scanner, then when back in range of your Mac, the codes are transferred and items added to the library. - MattD Sun, 03 Aug 2008 08:39:31 +0100
