Collection management software, free and simple
Tellico 3.5.1 is available, with a few new features.
Tellico received a nice shoutout from the Destination Linux team, in episode 328. The Software Spotlight portion starts around 59 minutes into the video.
Tellico 3.5 is available, with several new features, updated data sources, and bug fixes. I expect this to be the last major release before transitioning to Qt6 and KDE Frameworks 6.
Please do let me know of any regressions in functionality, compilation problems, bug in the behavior, or suggestions for improvement!
I created a new Entry Template which uses the main image as a background and overlays a table of the information on top. You can download these directly from within Tellico from the Templates section of the configuration. Click the Download… button at the bottom.
Or you can see them directly at the KDE Store. Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements.
I noticed a thread on the Linux Mint forums from a user of gco, the GNOME Comics Organizer, who gave Tellico a try. Since gco used an XML-based file format, it’s relatively easy to create a translator to import the file into Tellico. So if you have a gco file and want to give it a shot in Tellico:
I also noticed that one of the questions is related to sorting the issues in the Group View. Right-click on a group or entry item, then select Sort By→Issue. Done!
The caveat coming from gco is that comic volumes were used as the top-level entity, with issues added to each volume. In Tellico, the comic issue is the basic entry, and the volume title is entered as the Series. I know that’s less than ideal, but it happens to be the way Tellico is set up now.
Tellico 3.4.6 is available, with a few bug fixes.
Please do let me know of any regressions in functionality, compilation problems, bugs in the behavior, or suggestions for improvement! I have an experimental build for windows also available.
Tellico 3.4.5 is available, with a few bug fixes.
Please do let me know of any regressions in functionality, compilation problems, bugs in the behavior, or suggestions for improvement!
I read in a post by Manton Reece about a recent IndieWeb pop-up session on personal libraries and publishing list of books you might be reading. Just in the interest of seeing what I could pull together quickly, I made a tellico2jsonfeed.xsl template that one could use to generate an index.json file similar to what Micro.blog generates.
From the File -> Export menu, select Export XSL Transform
Then select the XSL file in the next dialog, as well as which books (“entries”) you want to include in the list. This template only works for book collections.
The export can also be done via the command-line as
unzip -p books.tc tellico.xml|xsltproc tellico2jsonfeed.xsl - > index.json
where you replace books.tc with the name of your Tellico data file and be sure to use the exact location of the tellico2jsonfeed.xsl file, as well.
Using the KDE Craft build system, we have an experimental Tellico 3.4.4 installer for Microsoft Windows. Most of the basic functionality seems to work, though I’m sure there are aspects that don’t quite behave as expected. A few bugs have been filed.
I have little resources or expertise in debugging Windows-specific bugs, but I’m certainly open to feedback, bugs, or anything else related to the build. There are also nightly builds against the master branch in the KDE CI system.
Tellico 3.4.4 is available, with a few bug fixes. Notably, v3.4.3 introduced a potential data loss if your collection used unicode code points with surrogate pairs, such as emojis, which is fixed in 3.4.4.
