Hello...taking the Reader and Library for a spin. My initial impression has been good--well thought out interface and features--but I'm running into a blocking issue.

When I first tested adding and creating a library, double clicking in the ReaderLibrary correctly opened the reader. I continued updating my library and decided to stop to see how things were progressing about halfway through. Unfortunately, I can no longer go from the ReaderLibrary to the Reader. I get this 'Unable to connect to YASReaderLibrary' error from the Reader:

Is there a workaround for this? I'm using version 8.0.0 for OSX.

The library points to files on a remote volume (NAS). I can read the files correctly if I open directly from the Reader.

Also, is there information that details the way the library handles data? For instance, where is the library data stored?

Thanks.

There is a hidden folder named .yacreaderlibrary that contains all that YACReaderLibrary needs. Can you create a sample library in your hard drive and test there YACReaderLibrary and YACReader? Just for discarting any issues related to the NAS.

Is there a cap on what would be considered a reasonable size for .yaslibrary reader folder and/or library.ydb file? Edit: Seems like it is definitely size-related. Broke the library into smaller bite-sized chinks and it works. Not sure about the threshold.

Any thoughts? Thanks! Open a terminal and browse to any of those large libraries, then do "cd .yacreaderlibrary", notice the file "library.ydb", zip it and send it to me, please.

Luis Ángel online Administrator Posts: 2615 Thank you received: 543 Karma: 22	Hmmm, that library looks surprisingly small, it only has a bunch of folders and comics. I don't see those thousands of comics. Could it be that the library is corrupted? Did you try to recreate those large libraries?

Having the same problems. I tried everything (even changed network infrastructure to a faster wifi) nothing worked wit my large library. but it does when I am on windows. so there is a "problem" with the Mac Version of the library. it is definitely not working as expected. I wouldn't blame apple for that. it is a different OS and as such it might need a dedicated approach to get YAC running properly.
I am posting this after 4 years of the initial post if I am not wrong. so this behavior is known for at least 4 years now and my feeling is that nothing has changed since. that's sad because YAC is such a great app in general. wish it would run on Mac the same smooth way as it does on Windows.
