OOo 2.4, Ubuntu x86_64 I have a bibliography created in Tellico. Tellico is a cool little app for managing book collections. The neat part about it is that all you need to enter is the ISBN number, then click to Update the entry. Tellico goes out on the net and searches Amazon and several other online databases, finds the book, and retrieves all the information about it online, even an image of the front cover, if available. This saves an enormous amount of typing.
I want to be able to merge selected entries into a bibliography in a Writer document. From Tellico I can export in various formats, including xml, html, zip, csv, pilotdb, bibtex, bibtexml, and onix. So far I have tried xml and csv, but can't get either one registered with Base. Let me explain in more detail, using my experience with csv as an example. I opened Base and checked "Connect to an existing database," and selected "text" in the drop-down box. In the next window I entered the path to the .csv file and checked the radio button for "'Comma separated value' files." In the next window I left the default items checked: "Yes, register the database for me" and "Open the database for editing." When I clicked on Finish it opened a window showing the folder that I specified in the first step, but no files appear in the window. There is a spinbox that says "ODF Database," but when I select it that is the only option. It should list all the database types, including csv, but it does not. Since I cannot tell it to look for .csv files it displays no files in the window. The file is definitely there - tellico_bibliography.csv - it's just the Base can't see it. What am I doing wrong? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
