[Tellico-users] building tellico 2.0 from svn

[Robert Hancock-5]

hi,

basically a fine piece of work, and i have the amazon lookups working fine with my growing book collection. thanks!

some bugs and comments:

*) since a couple of days it's not been possible to build tellico directly from the SVN sources. the cmake step fails:

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
TAGLIB_INCLUDES

i think that the TAGLIB_INCLUDES variable is associated with an optional package (to do with media files), but the way it is referenced in the CMake files doesn't respect this ==>  if you don't have the optional package installed on your system, the make will fail.

also, some comments on the detailed functionality (once you have built it):

*) I have created another field (Editor) formatted as 'Name' and I do indeed get a 'People' pseudo field. However, in the main left-hand window pane, there is no group EMPTY (i.e. where the item has no entry for either Author or Editor). It's quite useful to have this group visible.

*) when you update an entry that changes if it is in a filter (specifically, *removes* it from the filter), the filter contents don't immediately update. they update if you change an entry so it matches the filter.

*) in the entry editor, is it possible to change the order of the individual pages? also, we have lost keyboard shortcuts for fields within each entry editor page.

My mistake. Well, sort of. The cmake script to find taglig is broken, so
if it builds on some systems, it doesn't on on other. And because cmake
relies only on the scripts installed on the builder's machine, fixing it
means dirty workaround. But I will fix that.

Can't really comment on the rest.

I noticed that, too. It's a bug,  I'll get it fixed.

Ah, that's new...

The order is based on the order of the fields, which you can change in the
field editor. The keyboard shortcuts were removed because of translation
compatibility problems.

Thanks for reporting those bugs, I appreciate it.
