Modify backup/restore folders, field names, dropdown lists.



  • Auto Backup On Exit: Enable this option if you want to back up all databases when you exit the program.
  • Include Image Files in the Backup: Book cover images are stored in the folder 'C:\handy_lib\data\db\cover_img'. Including them in the backup will slow down the backup process and significantly increase the size of the backup file (ZIP). *(New in version 4.0)*
  • Backup Folder: Specify the folder where the backup file will be saved.
    Backup Procedure: The backup process creates two separate files:
    1. A backup of the library database (which includes all tables), saved as an FDB file.
    2. A backup of the database data folder (this folder contains all predefined report settings, label settings, notification letters, predefined view settings, statistics definitions, etc.). The contents of this folder are zipped into a single file.
    Restore Functions: There are two restore functions available:
    1. Restore: This function restores the library database.
    2. Restore Folder: This function restores the contents of the database data folder.
  • Change Field Names: Allows you to modify the names of data fields in the library databases.
  • Dropdown Lists: Define which data fields will have dropdown lists, specify the list type, and load list values from text files.
  • View Pages: Instructions on how to define view pages can be found here.
  • Edit Home Page (new in v4.0): Instructions on how to define your library's home page can be found here.
