Nice application for home users
by Thule - Aug 3rd 2006 12:40:55
Tellico has a lot of good features but lacks a little for any librian. e.g.
you can only enter numbers for pages, nit XIV,123, A1-A3.
Also I miss a field for illustrations, figs. etc and a field for
bibliography or indecx.
In fact it should all be combined in a collation field (which can't be
listed or filtered).
I also miss a note field. Librarians loves notes.
Finally I miss a layout choice of the known catalog card.
That's 2 points off :-) Still a nice application for home users.

Just change the field, then.

Just add the field then.

Just combine the fields then. Though I fail to see why I should prevent
the user from listing or filtering that field.

Not sure what you mean there.

Seems like you missed the field editor in the collection menu.

Very Good catalog
by mgp - Jan 26th 2005 11:09:27
I'd like to thank you for this program. It is the best around. Just a
couple of comments. Could the internet serches be treated as plugins for
the program or find another way to manage the search sourses. I'm saying
this because I'd like to add or someone to add other sources (for example
amazon in other languages or other other information websites) without
changing the source code of tellico and recompilling. I'd also like to
mention the searches to imdb ignores the "popular results" where
ususally the movie you are searching is. Thanks again for all the work and
congratullations for the results.

The popular results for IMDb should work properly in the latest
version.
I'm not sure about plugins - that's a bit beyond my knowledge of coding.
But if you write any scripts that output the Tellico xml, you can merge
that into your collection, such as done with these programs: http://lehvaslaiho.homelinux.org/progs/
They don't run from within the user interface, but the command-line.

Great App! Help volunteered.
by Felix - Dec 7th 2004 07:33:02
What a wonderful application this is. It's exactly what I've been looking
for for yonks but have never been able to find until now.
I noticed there doesn't seem to be a Dutch translation available yet and
was wondering if you might need some help with that.
English -> Dutch translator, at your service. Would be glad to help
out!

numbering
by gmeier - Nov 6th 2004 04:08:28
Nice database, except I would need to have consecutive numbering for all
items (movies), like other movie databases have. Numbering is in my opinion
the best and most simple opportunity to find one disc out of a hundred and
one.

It is what is sets out to be
by Thule - Aug 3rd 2003 11:04:05
This is the kind of product that is so great for a low level home user.
Easy to install as rpm and works off the bat.
Everything is logical (except one) and everything works.
i have a single thing I believe need to changed soonest: The 'New
Document' icon is actually somewhat of a trap as it in reality starts a
new 'database', or rather new collection and not prepares entering af new
book. For this, one simply enters the items information in the empty fields
and presses 'add book'.
I guarantee that little trap puts off 90% of the users, right there.
The text needs to be 'New collection' not 'New document'. People will
believe their book is the document, while the developer means the
comprehensive book database.
With that little change I'd give this little gem an A+ for honesty,
funtionality, features and size.

Bookcase 0.4.1
by Ron Morley - Jan 16th 2003 20:49:53
A nice product with an easy to use and understand interface. There are a
wide variety of ways to view your data once you get it into the database,
which is XML, BTW. I'm looking forward to the promised configurable
printed reports. Overall, I'd give it two thumbs up, even though it is
hard to type like that.
