Hi Dave,
many thanks for your fast reply. I used HanDBase already when I still had my Palm, later on my Windows CE and meanwhile after switching to Mac on my iPhone/iPad and I really love HanDBase and I'm still a fan of it. Of course there are more feature wishes. But I totally understand your point - being a "one man show" in development makes it very hard to make progress on all topics.
I made the wine thing work but I learned that working on both the Windows and Mac conduit is making things worse, for example when I have a floating number like 123,20 on my iPad DB it is going to change to 123.00 when I worked the record with the Windows companion. So I stopped using it. I also have Bento as an app, it's having a nice interface but not capable to do any calculations or using values from one to another record like HanDBase can do. When I try to import and export data between the systems already the character sets are different, especially when using our German umlauts etc.

and as I can't really sync between those apps I also skipped this way of working. Same thing by the way when I try to use the data with Numbers or LibreOffice. But with LibreOffice I had the best results as I was able to choose the charset (I had to use Western Europe (Windows-1252/WinLatin) on a MAC!

)
I will stay with HanDBase and keep on using it for sure. I just would love to find a convenient way of working with capabilities in exchanging and working on multiple devices including the desktop. I'm also missing for example a kind of "auto"-sync between my iPhone and iPad via dropbox or iCloud without any manual copy process etc.
I use HanDBase as an asset database for my photo equipment to have something ready for my insurance company as a base to calculate the monthly fee for coverage. I take photo's of the equipment and currently I also take a photo of the invoices for each piece of my equipment as I'm not able to attach any kind of PDF files to a record. But having media files like images (or hopefully one day also PDF files) at records makes it even harder to work on a desktop companion.
A second HanDBase database (amongst many others) is a photo location database where I store a photo of the location and GPS coordinates in a record and adding keywords about the location. It would also be nice to store multiple images in a single field instead of having multiple fields that can hold just one image, I always have to know how many images I like to store for a location upfront, so I would have to know how many fields I need to design the DB. And on the desktop I have images displayed although there are synced to the Mac and there is no easy option to show the coordinates at a map for example to plan a road trip to the location….
I fully trust in you that at one day all these features will be there!

Let me know if there is something I could do for you and help to make faster progress…
Cheers
Joerg
