Using the Address Book, iCal, and
iPhoto Libraries
Bento provides libraries that display data from the Mac OS X
Address Book, iCal, and iPhoto applications. With these
libraries, you can manage contacts, events, tasks, and photos
together, and display them as related records in other
libraries in Bento.
Bento contains four libraries that display data from other Mac OS X applications:
• Address Book library, which displays information from the Address Book
application
• iCal Events library, which displays events from the iCal application
• iCal Tasks library, which displays to-do items from the iCal application
• iPhoto library, which displays photos and video clips from the iPhoto
application
This chapter describes how to use these libraries to organize information about
contacts, events, tasks, and photos, and how to add information from these libraries to
your own libraries.
Displaying the Address Book, iCal, and iPhoto Libraries
Bento starts with an Address Book library, an iCal Events library, an iCal Tasks library,
and an iPhoto library. Even if the Address Book, iCal, and iPhoto applications are not
running, you see the data from these applications in Bento.
Displaying the Address Book, iCal, and iPhoto libraries is optional. When you first start
using Bento, these libraries are displayed by default.
If you turn off the display of these libraries in Bento, their records no longer appear in
Bento, but they still appear in the Address Book, iCal, and iPhoto applications.
