See and interact with your information in stunning new ways

New–iPhoto integration

  • See all your albums listed in the Bento Libraries pane automatically–no importing required.
  • View your iPhoto information inside Bento in the new Grid view, Table view, Form view or Split view.
  • Add additional fields and forms to store more information about your photos beyond what iPhoto stores.
  • Link photos to contacts, projects, events or other data stored in Bento.

Note: Photos and associated data from iPhoto can only be viewed from within Bento and cannot be edited. However, you can add new fields to your Bento forms to store more data about your photos, but it will not appear in iPhoto.

New–Grid view

  • View any library in the new Grid view to show a grid of pictures and forms for a more visual approach to your information.
  • Customize the Grid view to display additional information under each thumbnail that is most relevant to you, like phone numbers or email addresses for all your contacts.
  • Create and view your own customized thumbnail forms. For example, say you have 40 products that you're selling. You could create a form where you have an image of the product next to the part number and price to see multiple product “cards” together on one screen.

Improved–Related data field–now with image thumbnails

  • See thumbnail images of media in your Related data fields (formerly called the Related records lists).
  • For example, you can link a list of guests to an event–and see a picture of each person invited on the event record.

Improved–File list–now with image thumbnails

  • See a thumbnail image of each document in the File List instead of seeing a list of text containing names of files.
  • For example, you can see the first page of PDF file or a mini version of jpg images.

Improved–Table view with media cell

  • See mini versions of pictures, movies or PDFs stored in a media field when you're in Table view.
  • Use Quick Look to view the media cell contents while in Table view.

Bento links directly to the Address Book and iCal information you already have on your Mac to display your contacts and calendars in new and exciting ways.

There are now a total of 35 templates to choose from.

New–Simple list field type

Improved–Library icons

  • Change the icon for any library, choosing from the list of available icons.

  • Unlock encrypted fields to display contents by entering the database password.
  • Assign a database password to your entire Bento database. You will be prompted for the password upon launching Bento. Once the correct password is entered, Bento will open your database giving you full access to all your libraries.
  • Assign a sharing password to allow others access to your shared libraries. This password is different from the database password and only allows access to specific libraries that you have chosen to share over a local area network.

Keep your team informed and up-to-date.

New–Multi-user sharing

  • Share your Bento libraries with up to 5 other Bento users on your wired or wireless local area network.

New–Group emailing

  • Select the email addresses that you'd like to send to in Table view, then choose 'Email Selected Addresses' from the Edit menu. Apple Mail opens, creates a new message, puts the selected email addresses in the 'To:” field and leaves the cursor in the Subject field so you can complete the group email.

Improved–Theme Chooser

  • Browse, try, and apply themes more easily than in previous versions.

New–Print blank form
