Additional Ways to Export Information
In addition to the File > Export menu item, Bento provides another way to export
information as a file:
1 Drag a library or a collection icon from the Libraries pane in Bento to the desktop or
to any folder in a Finder window. Bento exports the field data from all the records in
the library or the collection into a file with a name matching the library or collection
name and the file format matching the current Export Format setting in the
Preferences dialog.
Export Considerations for Specific Field Types
You cannot export:
1 Contents of address list fields, phone number list fields, email list fields, URL list
fields, IM account list fields, or message list fields. However, you can export data
from individual address, phone number, email, URL and IM account fields that are
displayed in table view.
1 Information displayed in a related records list field.
1 File aliases in file list fields.
1 Movie and sound files you have added to media fields. To export images, see
“Exporting Images” on page 84.
For files that you
export by dragging
them to the Finder,
select a file format.
