===Some functionalities enabled when dependancies available===
~- in Menu / File there should be an option Statistics, if not check dependancies as shown below
~- creating a gcz file (nope, it's not a tar.gz - with gcs and image directory - renamed as gcz o_O)
~~- from [[http://wiki.gcstar.org/en/gcstar_viewer gcstar viewer documentation]] it only seems available as a command line option like %%gcstar -x -e External --exportprefs "zip=>1" -o /mnt/sdcard/collection.gcz ~/doc/collection.gcs%% though I would have expected it in export options :D though, it works perfectly for gcstar viewer (only for books, not DVD :/ check http://wiki.gcstar.org/en/execution to find option, perhaps GCfilms...)

===rpm env building===
http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=rpm_start&s[]=rpmbuild

##mkdir -p ~/rpm/{BUILD,BUILDROOT,RPMS/$ARCH,RPMS/noarch,SOURCES,SRPMS,SPECS,tmp}##

===some limitations===
DVD barcode scan ?
~- import list of EAN codes of newly bought DVDs?
~- no website with ISBN or equivalent?
importing [[https://github.com/eleybourn/Book-Catalogue/wiki BookCatalogue]] export ?
changes of website for Christmas? (plugin amazon or alapage to be changed?) Why isn't there a stable XML API to be interpreted?
improvement needed for gcstar viewer (on Android):
~- display author/title
~- enable sort on either column (author / title)
~- add a functionality search/filter on keyword
~- speed, loading is slow, display is slow, 1000 titles collection should be the norm for testing
~- managing series (be it an author or editor)

I have [[http://cookerspot.tuxfamily.org/wikka.php?wakka=Blog20120224Batman lists outside gcstar]] (a simple HTML page, with a list), as some comments or easy filtering for series is not that efficient :/
