Hi :)

hope it is OK to ask this, I didn't find this topic in the forum

I would like to use my bookpedia library also on my mac book :)

Do I have to buy the app again for my mac book?

How can I import my bookpedia library to my mac book
- through "collection export .bookpedia" - import - and then via drag and drob into the main library?

Thank you :D

Although you can move data with the .bookpedia export format. The easiest is to copy the entire data folder from one computer to the new computer. The data folder is located in your home folder at ~/Library/Application Support/Bookpedia (under Lion+ hold down the option key and click on the Finder "Go" menu to show the LIbrary folder). This is the folder with all your data, copy it to the same location on the new computer without Bookpedia running. Launch Bookpedia and you will have a perfect copy of your data on the new computer.

There is no need to buy another license of Bookpedia.

If you like to find out more about the database folder, you can find it in the included help file.
