G'day all. Bento 4 has been released. AUD$53.64 for download or box from Filemaker. Automatic $25 off if download update version (from 1, 2 or 3) [AUD$30.91 - they must be using American maths!!!]
<https://store.filemaker.com.au/product/viewfamily/family/BEN> Also iPhone app has been updated. However, if you, like me, are still using Bento 2 DO NOT DOWNLOAD the app update as it will not sync. Another app update will be coming shortly to allow syncing with 2. It also has trouble opening the updated app. I tried four times before it finally opened although it has opened normally since. It may be that it took a long time to sort itself out as it looks different. My libraries now show icons of the media images (eg book covers) at each entry that has an image and I do have a lot of images. There is now three display fields: primary, secondary and media or checkbox. I thought I'd let it go (in opening) for some time but maybe I was more impatient than I thought. What really cheesed me off, though, was the fact that the one line warning about not downloading if wanting to sync with Bento 2 is hidden at the bottom of the "What's New" panel on the app on the store. If you just open iTunes and check your app folder and it tells you have a number of updates, there is no warning that I saw about not downloading the Bento update. I eventually had to go to the store, select and open the Bento app and then click the more button to see what they had written. I do intend to get Bento 4 but at a time of my choosing so now I can't sync the most used app on my iPhone. Damned inconsiderate of them.
