I go to <https://software.opensuse.org/>, type "rekall", find nothing (settings say 42.3).

Why does the search fail?

There have been a few reports that the Settings are not functioning correctly. A search with All brings up this page https://software.opensuse.org/package/rekall

It does not appear there is a build for 15.0.

That is very unfortunate for me. There is no application that works similarly to rekall at all in Linux (there is in Windows). It is a database client app that works similarly to the windows office database app, I forgot the name, base? using mysql or postgress as backend. Table Books main index name author Genre end Table Authors main index name end Table Genres main index name end In Books Table, Author is linked to the Authors table, so that it stores a number but displays names, limiting the choices to only those in the Authors table. Similarly, Genre is linked to the Genres table, so that it stores a number but displays strings. And this was designed years ago graphically, no code writing at all. I have been unable to make this work in Libre Office base, it displays the numbers. I can use views, but then I can not write entries. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Hopefully, Ilya or someone else who has the keys to the KDE3 repo will make a push to complete the build for 15. Like you, I have a number of specialty apps or versions of apps that are provided by the KDE3 repo. Hopefully this will happen before 42.3 EOL.

Actually, I was hoping to use the database in Libre Office, and possibly later migrate to a Calc collection of sheets. This would allow me to simply copy a single file from computer to computer, instead of copying an mysql database. Well, you can use it via network? Hardly, when not at home... It is a problem when I go shopping for books, I can't check the list on the spot. If it worked in LO, I might keep using it as is and producing some kind report or export when going out. I will have to subscribe to that mail list that Mateusz Mielczarek and Dave Howorth suggested. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Do you only use the database for books?

Though it is aimed primarily at ebooks, I was just reading up further on Calibre the other day: https://calibre-ebook.com/ I don't see why it couldn't also serve for paper books too.

I use Calibre, but it is not a tool to index books. It is a tool to manage the books themselves and read them. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
