progress dial obscured when window small

With the Library window reduced to its smallest size (for example, by grabbing the bottom-right corner and dragging inwards) the progress dial for FTP uploads to a website becomes obscured. See image.

In the interests of discussion, why don't you specify what you don't like about this idea?

Add Edition tag automatically to Title info

One thing that kind of bugs me is that there's an Edition tag available in in the info box, but if I want that info to appear in the Header (what I call the info that appears at the top, such as the Title and Creator) I have to add it to the Title, thereby duplicating info available elsewhere.
Can I suggest you simply have Delicious Library add that info, when available, as a suitably-formatted (ie. bolder and larger than Creator, smaller than Title) subtitle sitting between the Title and Creator?

The upgrade to Snow Leopard seems to have sorted everything out. I can now publish every which way without problems.

I managed to work around it for the time-being by taking all the images previously uploaded to iDisk, uploading them to the new website and relinking them. Obviously had to add new ones manually.
Not sure I can really be bothered to go into the manual troubleshooting approach just now considering Library itself works fine, may simply add new items to the website by hand. Not as if I buy that much stuff anyway. Who knows, a fix may surface?
Thanks for the quick reply, btw!
Edit: Oops, forgot to say that yes, I can delete records. I just sold an old HDD and two seconds ago deleted its entry in Lib—no probs.

I seem to have a similar problem. I have three shelves, containing 93, 250 and 82 records respectively, that I'm trying to publish to a folder on my Desktop. Attempting to publish each of these three folders individually resulted in an "Internal Error".
Is there any way of determining, other than manually, which are the duff records?
Oddly, I previously published two of the three shelves to iDisk without issue. I've added items to one of those shelves, but not the other.
Thanks.
PS: I'm running DL 2.2 on SL 10.6

Is your answer A1 a joke? I'm going to assume not. Both "The Matrix" and "The Matrix Reloaded" are DVDs.
As for A2: interesting, and I think you're right. Doom 3: RoE (an expansion pack) sorts ahead of Doom 3 because the Doom 3 purchase was a re-release.
I think this just highlights the need for a customisable second-sort option, though.

I have something similar. In Movies, "The Matrix Reloaded" sorts before "The Matrix" when sorting by Title, A-Z. Why would that be? Adding a space to the end of "The Matrix " sorts it correctly. What's going on? Surely it should be common sense for "Reloaded" to sort after "Matrix", no?
Also, regarding second sorting options: in my Videogames list, by Creator, A-Z, I have several id Software titles. I batch changed Creator for all of them to "id Software" so Creator is identical for each. Nevertheless, they sort thus:
Quake 2; RTCW; Doom 3:RoE; Doom 3; Quake 4 etc. Similarly, my two Electronic Arts titles, "MoH: Underground" and "MoH: Allied Assault" sort in the order I've listed them here.
Surely it would make sense for the default second-sort option after Creator to be Title, no?

How to publish to the web with MobileMe and iWeb

Hi,

Kind of frustrated here by the fact that neither the built-in in help, nor the official Knowledge Base has any info on the actual process of getting your Library published to the web using iWeb and MobileMe. In fact the Knowledge Base (http://delicious-monster.com/help.php...) states:
"Delicious Library does not have a feature to export your library to HTML or create a website, although it is a popular feature request."
Can someone point me to a simple walkthrough? I'm brand-new to MobileMe (just created the account an hour ago) and iWeb. I've no clue what I'm doing.

S.

Change Shelves according to chosen library

I think it'd be useful if the Shelves displayed depended on the library chosen. I have 17 Smart Shelves for my Movie library alone. I think this would work with DL particularly because, unlike iTunes, "Library" is itself selectable in the Sidebar, and choosing this would display the Shelves from all libraries.

SiRGadaBout replied on October 14, 2008 19:07 to the idea "Show duplicate-shelved items, smart shelves from another shelf, sheet music database, and last location memory" in Delicious Monster:

In relation to point one:
I was going to post a feature request that pressing Option would highlight all the shelves to which a selected item belongs, á la Address Book. This would solve the problem neatly, in a user-friendly way, using currently-available code and without adding clutter to the GUI.
In relation to point two:
In this case I just duplicate the original Smart Shelf and add the extra criterium/a. Short and sweet.
