Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use Locations?
Locations are set per copy, not per book. Therefore, to specify the location you need to open the book record, click the Copies tab, edit the first copy and specify the location.
This allows you to have multiple copies of the same book in different locations, if desired.
Retrieving data using ISBNs doesn't work reliably, if at all
I've had a lot of trouble getting any links & dowloaded data to work with the program - it's something I'm exploring further with BookDB3.
In the meantime you might find librarything.com useful. Even if you don't get a full account, you can add books then export to a CSV file which BookDB can import.
How do I restore a backup?
To restore a backup, install BookDB2 and locate the folder containing the BookDB2.exe file.
Then, simply copy the backed-up data into that folder. If the backup is a zip file, double-click the zip to open it first.
If there are data files in the BookDB2 folder already you may have run the program after install. If the files are all zero-size (0 bytes) then they can be overwritten with your backup files.
Why is this software free?
