22 Chapter 1 Overview of Bento
Address Book, iCal, and iPhoto Libraries
Bento displays the data you’ve already entered into the Mac OS X applications Address
Book, iCal, and iPhoto using these libraries: Address Book, iCal Events, iCal Tasks, and
iPhoto.
Address Book Library
The Address Book library displays contact information from the Mac OS X Address
Book application, so there is no need to re-enter your contact information. Enter new
contacts in Address Book or in Bento, and the information appears in both
applications.
See ”Address Book Library” on page 41.
iCal Events Library
The iCal Events library displays information from the events in the Mac OS X iCal
application. You can view those events in Bento, and use them with other data you
store in Bento. For example, you can display which iCal events are related to a specific
project by creating a relationship to iCal Events in a Projects library.
Enter new events in iCal or in Bento, and the information appears in both applications.
See ”iCal Events and iCal Tasks Libraries” on page 44.
iCal Tasks Library
The iCal Tasks library displays information from the To Do items in iCal. You can use
those tasks in your Bento libraries and collections. For example, you can display which
iCal tasks are related to a specific project by creating a relationship to iCal Tasks in a
Projects library.
Enter To Do items in iCal or task records in Bento, and the information appears in both
applications.
See ”iCal Events and iCal Tasks Libraries” on page 44.
iPhoto Library
The iPhoto library displays photos and video clips from the albums and Smart Albums
in the Mac OS X iPhoto application. You can view those albums and Smart Albums in
Bento, and use them with other data you store in Bento. For example, you can display
photos that are related to a specific project by creating a relationship to iPhoto in a
Projects library.
