Do we really need this?

Tiger has an Automator function to that effect. [alert admin]

Once I converted my databases from 9.0.8 to 9.1 I got this weird bug, where any new text I entered into the side drawer fields (call number, etc.) showed up as mojigumi (garbled-up Japanese characters). Preexisting text was unaffected, and the problem was solved by simply copying over all my references into a new, empty database. [alert admin]

Media organizer for academics, anyone?

This app is very good; somewhat slower in indexing large folders than Extensis Portfolio, but the difference in price makes it worth the time. Unfortunately, though it is all in all a great organizer for pictures, it has shortcomings that make it unsuitable for the management of scholarly media collections. For that it would need to have: -The ability to add custom columns, to differentiate author/title of the picture form author/title of the object pictured, and to add other info; -Nested categories, so that we could have, for example, a category for catholic art within a broader religious art; -The ability to assign date ranges fo each work (beginning-completion) and to order by these ranges. Until we can have such features, Portfolio is the only program flexible enough to come close to meeting scholars' needs. [alert admin]
