Today Filemaker, Inc. released Bento 3. One of the major new features is database sharing. For details, see the new features page.

I created my freeware application, Shokado Web Sharing for Bento, precisely because of the lack of sharing capabilities in Bento. Now that Bento has sharing, Shokado may be unnecessary. On the other hand, since Bento sharing is limited to 5 computers, each running Bento, some people might still want a read-only, web sharing solution.

Let me know what you think.

Today I released Shokado Web Sharing for Bento, Version 2.04.

This release is compatible with Bento 2.04 only. No major changes were made to the application.

Today I posted Version 2.01 of Shokado Web Sharing Tool For Bento, my PHP web application that lets you share your Bento database on your local network.

This new version provides support for Bento 2.0. Apparently, the folks at Filemaker re-wrote the whole thing, and so reverse-engineering their database was a major hassle. I’m still not quite finished, but it will do for now.

Please visit the Freeware page for more information and download.

Today I posted Version 1.0 of Shokado Web Sharing Tool For Bento, a PHP web application that lets you share your Bento database on your local network. For now, it’s pretty basic but will be enhanced in the weeks ahead. Please visit the Freeware page for more information and downloads.
