GENERAL INFORMATION

AudioVideo Library was created to manage a complete entertainment media library.  Most catalogers manage audio media only or video media only, but there seemed to be no reason for this separation.  Hence, AudioVideo Library was created to have all of the entertainment media within a single system of management.  It supports CD, cassette tape, open reel tape, DAT, vinyl albums, videotape in VHS, Super VHS, VHS-C, Super VHS-C, Beta, ED Beta, 8 mm, Hi-Band 8 mm,and laserdisc.  It is also included with utilities I find indispensable: a recording calculator for track times when making tape recordings and a cassette tape labeler.  Info from the utilities can be ported to the stack card.

Graphically, I felt that an audio and video cataloger should look as good as the hardware they are used with, so a front end was designed based upon audio and video equipment.  This should also provide some familiarity with the operation of the cataloger since it uses some of the same symbols for similar functions.  I hope you find it enjoyable to look at and use.

This stack makes use of many popup menus.  These are activated by holding the mouse button down within the title or data fields.  Since some of the menus are quite large (to save typing), the mouse button must be held down longer than one may be used to.  The catalog number system is decided upon by the user.

This stack is not a free product and it is available to you for a trial period of 30 days.  Shareware is based on your honor and my trust.  AudioVideo Library took CONSIDERABLE time to design and fine tune.  And it will continue to improve with time as enhancements are added.  To receive the stack password and to ensure your access to future versions of AudioVideo Library, send in a floppy disk and a Self- Addressed - Stamped - Envelope along with your shareware fee of $15.00 US to the address in the about AudioVideo segment.  Or you may opt not to include a floppy (still include the SASE) and instead send a total of $20.00 US for the latest version.  An updating port utility is also included to transfer data from your older AudioVideo Library stack to the new one.  If you already have the latest version,  the newest will be sent when it becomes available, so you may not receive the disk right away.  You will be guaranteed notification of future updates.

If there is a sufficient demand, utilities will be created for porting of data from other library managers.  Include the full name and version of the library or cataloger on your registration materials and make sure you mark the request for a port data option.  If possible, include an actual copy of the of the cataloger (not the original ) you are using on the disk you send.  This will greatly facilitate the creation of proper porting utilities.



VERSION HISTORY
All versions have bug fixes so this won't be mentioned again.

1.0
First release.

1.01

1.02
play button enhancements.

1.10
Contains new copy functions for CD and LP cards.  This allows the user to copy visible volume information to paste to other volumes or transfer them to TAPE cards.  These functions were created to duplicate information from volume to volume and to ease information replication to tape copies (especially existing copies) from CDs and LPs.  The initial design of porting transfer was from the calculator to the labeler to the stack.  This was done for new copies that required track arrangement for proper time fit.  However, many of us have existing  tape copies or straightforward tape copies of CDs and LPs and it is annoying, tedious, and unnecessary to input duplicate data.  Hence, the copy functions were born and are explained in the local help fields.  The TAPE card receives new buttons as well.  First is an "a<->b" button which will duplicate the side with entries to the empty side.  If side A has data and B is empty, A will be copied to B and vice versa.  This was added for tapes that contain the same artist, title, and performers for both sides.  Second, a paste button has been added which is also NOT the same as the Edit Menu Paste.  It will paste the copied information from the CD or LP card on which the copy button was activated.  Options for the paste are given if they pertain to copy format.  Third, a port to labeler button was added for transferring TAPE card info to the labeler.  More details in local help.  Also added to the stack are information functions added to the media selection button of the same media.  Clicking on the CD button while in the CD section will call up the number of CD set entries currently in the library.  Version 1.10 also contains some menu item additions.

1.11
Efficiency improvements.  The labeler is redesigned with notable addition of user selectable text of the information fields through the 
"prefs" button.  AudioVideo copy button added to the TAPE card.

1.12

1.14b
Revised pop up menus make use of hierarchical format to reduce long scrolling.  Titles for pop up menus now activate the menus as well as the fields.

GENERAL HELP

( for a graphical and interactive control panel explanation,  click on the ? button below )

This stack has 4 media groupings indicated by the CD, LP, TAPE, and VIDEO buttons.  Pressing any of these buttons brings you to that section of the library.

Information is entered by the user through pop up menus and keyboard entry.  These fields are defined in the local help sections of the specific media.  Pop up menus may be slow, and some are quite slow, due to the less than lightning fast reflexes of  HyperCard.

All media supports up to three volumes per entry set.  This means you can input 3 volume CD's, LP's, TAPES, etc.  It is important to note, however, that the sorting function only keys in on the first volume, and on the A side of the first volume if there is one.  If you wish all volumes to be separately sorted, they must be entered on individual cards.  The search function, however, will find anything on any field, although it may not be visible.  Visible volumes are selected by choosing the appropriate radio button.  However, it is preferable to reset the visible volume to 1 after you are done examining a different volume. This is because the volume selection buttons affect other cards of the same media.

Version 1.10 adds new copy functions to AudioVideo Library which are for copying data fields of the current CD or LP card for pasting to other volumes on the same card or to a TAPE card.  They are NOT the same as the Edit Menu Copy.  Also added are a field duplicate button from A side to B side of the TAPE card, TAPE paste for copied info, and a TAPE to cassette case labeler port button. Details are in local help.
V1.11 adds user selectable text for the cassette case labeler and a copy button for the TAPE card.

CATALOG SCHEME

This field is for the user to notate the cataloging scheme for the Library.  The cataloging system is defined entirely by the user.

IMPORTANT HYPERCARD QUIRKS
HyperCard reads data in fields as text.  This means that it regards numbers as character strings, not as actual numbers.  As such, the sort function will read "123" and sort it before "13" because it reads these numbers as if it were 
"ABC" and "AC".  One way around this problem is to standardize a catalog number length, that is making all catalog numbers a specific number of digits long.  This way, HyperCard sees that all the numbers are , for example, six character words and will more accurately sort them out with this consistency.
