> Poor Use of Screen Real Estate (i.e, Wasted Screen Space) So, again, Booxer is flawed with this additonal unfriendly feature.
#HOME LIBRARY SOFTWARE FOR MAC SOFTWARE#
Customers want software to do the work for us in order to save us time, not to make us work harder. Am I supposed to know the esoteric UPC number, or the ASIN number, apparently by consulting the packaging or by looking it up online? I find that a designer who tasks the customer to do the work that the software can is rather puniutive, while subjecting me to a time-wasting nusiance. As far as I can tell, Booxer can't even do that.

Despite that poor attitude, at least Librarian Pro has a search feature in which you can type in a title and the software performs the search at. All he did was waste my time and sidestep the whole point of the feedback. When I suggested doing that, I got embroiled in a series of emails with tech supporter/owner that ended with him saying that Koingo no longer supported version 2, even though I had specified in the very first feature request that I was using version.
Koingo's Librarian Pro also suffers from that same inability to let customers adjust the font sizes to something more comfortable to their reading pleasure, and their developer adamantly refuses to deal with fixing the problem. After all, if you can bump up the font size in Apple Mail and in Safari and in online Help and in other applications, why can't programmers allow us the option to adjust the text size bigger or smaller within their applications, too? Or, if such a function is beyond their skills or the capability of the operating system, then I think it behooves them to present a layout that is acceptably legible and big enough to be read without discomfort, instead of presenting us with small window layouts stuffed with tiny fonts! Do they think it costs more to give us fonts in 14 point instead of 11 point?

How is it possible that such people can learn how to program a Mac but they cannot relate to the needs of the people to whom they are trying to sell their product? It's so frustrating to see such simple, self-destructive mistakes in design. Does he think that his software should run only on ancient Macs with their tiny screens? Has he not heard that people use large displays? Does he not realize that people want the option to set the font size to suit themselves, rather than use a magnifying glass just to read the damn data? Another self-centered software designer who fails to think about design from the customer's viewpoint. This designer set 11 point as the default font size for displaying text.
When will designers think in terms of what a customer wants, instead of what the designer wants? Is there even a way to add a custom field? I don't see any.
#HOME LIBRARY SOFTWARE FOR MAC SERIAL NUMBER#
Where is the field for entering a Serial Number? How is it possible that this designer does not include a Serial Number field by default? Does he think that people sort their video collections by Title? How dumb can you get? These notes concern Booxer as compared to Librarian Pro, which I am considering replacing by something more customer friendly for the reasons indicated below.īooxer design flaws and first impressions Right now, the flaws stand out in my mind, so use my opinions and my venting at your own convenience, or not. Below are notes to myself, as I ascertain the strengths and weaknesses of these programs.
So, I am in the process of assessing such database programs in order to settle on one that suits my needs. I like the ability to download useful data on a video, or a book, fif it would make my life easier than tracking my media in the FileMaker databases I had created for such a purpose. In general, I think it is cool that there are some database programs that one can use to obtain, to store, and to index information about media collections, like videos.
