  1. How do I get started with myBase Desktop?（如何开始使用myBase Desktop？）

    First of all, you'll need to download a copy of myBase Desktop that is appropriate for your system platform (Linux/Mac/Windows), and then have the program properly installed on your system.

    首先，您需要对应操作系统（Linux/Mac/Windows），下载相应的myBase Desktop安装程序，然后运行安装程序，把myBase正确的安装在您的系统上。

    Using myBase is simple. Before you can input your own information, you'll need to first create a new database (.nyf files), then insert info items within the tree outline view; Each info items accept HTML text as default item content, and any files as attachments in the Attachment pane. All information are automatically compressed and saved in the .nyf database. Here is a simple list of essential instructions using myBase.

    使用myBase是很简单的，在您输入自己的信息前，您需要新建一个nyf数据库文件，然后再左侧大纲树插入新的信息条目点。每个节点都可在右侧输入HTML文本和插入附件，所有的信息都将被压缩和保存在nyf数据库文件内。下面是使用myBase的一些基本指引。

    • To create a new .nyf db, please select the 'File - New database' menu item,
    • To insert info items in the tree outline, please select the 'Organize - New item ...' menu items, which inserts new info items as either sibling or child items as you see fit.
    • To insert files as attachments or shortcuts, please select the 'Attachment - Add attachments/shortcuts' menu item.
    • To save changes, select the 'File - Save' menu item, or press 'Ctrl+S'.
    • To import materials from other sources, select the 'Capture - Import...' menu items.
    • To export info items, select the 'Share - export ...' menu items.
    • 选择【文件 - 创建数据库】即可创建新的nyf数据库。
    • 选择【整理 - 添加子项】，【整理 - 添加项，前面】和【整理 - 添加项，后面】即可加入新的信息条目。
    • 如要添加附件，可以选择菜单【附件 - 添加附件/添加快捷方式】
    • 可以通过【文件 - 保存】或者Ctrl+S保存改变。
    • 如需从其他途径获取信息，可以通过【导入 - ...】菜单。
    • 如要导出节点，可以通过【导出 - ...】菜单

    For demonstration, myBase Desktop includes a sample .nyf database which can be loaded by select the 'Help - Sample database' menu item.

    myBase Desktop也附带了一个示例nyf数据库，您可以通过菜单【帮助 - 示例数据库】载入。

  2. Does myBase load a whole database into computer Memory?（myBase会把整个nyf数据库载入到内存吗？）

    No. myBase supports the 'Load on Access' feature, it only loads the currently working items into the computer's RAM, without having to load a whole database file.

    不会。由于myBase支持“按需加载”特性，所以只会按需要把被查看和编辑的内容载入到内存。

  3. Does myBase use a lot of hard disk space?（myBase会使用大量硬盘空间吗？）

    myBase doesn't use any more disk space than its binary package. You'll need enough disk space to store your own .nyf database files. myBase provides a set of utilities for database maintenance, such as the integrated zip utility, 'Empty Recycle Bin' and 'Optimize for size' etc. All these efforts help make databases compact and save disk space.

    myBase软件本身并不占用大量空间。但您需要有足够的磁盘空间来保存nyf数据库文件，myBase也提供了多个数据库维护工具，例如集成的zip压缩功能，清空回收站和优化数据库等等。这些工具都致力于减少数据库的大小和节省硬盘空间。

  4. Does myBase lock users data? Once data saved in myBase are they always myBased?（数据保存在myBase后，以后就只能使用myBase了吗？）

    No. myBase doesn't lock any users data in it, you have the convenience of exporting/mapping all your data as a directory tree in the file system at any time.

    不会。myBase不会“锁”用户的数据，您可以在任何时候方便的把您的数据导出。

  5. What is the size limit of a single database (.nyf file)?（单个数据库文件（.nyf文件）大小有限制吗？）

    myBase 7.x integrates the 64-bit storage library (SSG-5), and a single .nyf database size can be extended up to 8EiB in theory, so you can make your database size as large as you want. However, in general uses, you may want to keep your .nyf database size compact (e.g. 300 ~ 500MB) with a balance between size and the convenience of backing up, syncing and/or transferring your database over network.

    myBase 7.x集成了64位存储技术（SSG-5），单个数据库文件的大小最大可以到达8EiB，所以基本上您不需要担心数据库文件的大小。实际使用过程中用户可以根据实际需要把数据库按需分成多个叫精简的.nyf数据库（例如300 ~ 500MB），以兼顾快速备份，同步等操作。

    myBase provides the Shortcuts and Hyperlinks and Relative path features that help maintain .nyf database size compact and reasonable; and provides the [File - Maintenance - Empty recycle bin/Optimize for size] utilities which allow to clear outdated revisions and eliminate fragments from in .nyf databases.

    myBase提供了插入快捷方式和相对路径等功能，利用这些功能可以精简.nyf数据库大小。【文件 - 维护 - 清空回收站/优化数据库】工具通过删除旧的修订版本达到优化数据库大小的效果。

  6. Is it possible to run myBase Desktop from on a USB stick?（myBase Desktop可以在U盘中运行吗？）

    Basically myBase Desktop works from in any accessible directory in the file system, including removable disk drives (e.g. USB sticks). You may want to put myBase program files onto a removable disk drive, and also put your .nyf database files on it, and then run your database smoothly with myBase from the removable disk drive. However, for safety and stability considerations, it's not recommended to open .nyf databases for editing from on a removable disk drive, in case of any accidental USB I/O problems with the removable disk that may cause damage to the working databases. If you have to do so, please be sure to preserve backups for your .nyf databases. This caution also applies to using myBase from in a shared folder (SMB/NetBIOS) over LAN.

    基本上，myBase Desktop可以在文件系统的任何目录内运行，包括可移动磁盘（例如U盘）的目录，您可以把程序放在U盘里。您也可以把myBase软件和nyf数据库文件放在U盘里并用myBase Desktop打开。但是从安全性和稳定性的角度上考虑，并不建议您编辑保存在可移动磁盘内的nyf文件，因为如果在可移动磁盘发生任何潜在的USB I/O问题，那么数据库文件有可能会被损坏。如果您坚持这么做，请确保您有对数据库进行备份。由于类似的原因，如果在网络共享中打开并编辑.nyf数据库，也请注意。

    For Linux and Mac OS X, myBase by default loads/saves the config file (.myBase7.ini) from/in the user's HOME directory, so that all the configurations can be retained when reinstalling new versions; Nevertheless, the command line parameter '-portable' changes this default behaviour and forces myBase to load/save configurations from/in the program's install folder instead, so it can be running as a portable version from USB sticks.

    Linux和Mac OS X版本的myBase默认会从用户的HOME目录读取和保存配置文件（.myBase7.ini）。如果加入了'-portable'参数，那么myBase将会从程序的安装目录读取和保存配置文件，从而达到便携版的目的。

  7. How do I register (unlock, activate) my copy of myBase with my license key?（如何用license keys注册（解锁、激活）myBase？）

    • Select the "Help/Register..." menu item;
    • Enter your registration name in the 'User name' field;
    • Enter your license key code in the 'License key' field;
    • Press 'OK' button to save the license key in the computer;

    Having problems registering?

  8. What type of files/documens will be indexed and searchable?（什么类型的文档会被索引和可以被搜索？）

    myBase invokes the associated file filters installed on the system to parse relevant documents.

    myBase尝试通过系统里安装的Filters分析文档。

    For Linux/MacOSX, myBase provides inbuilt file filters for HTML/TXT/RTF documents;

    对于Linux/MacOSX系统，myBase自带HTML/TXT/RTF文档的filters。

    For Windows, myBase invokes Windows IFilters installed on the system to parse documents based on the file extension names. The IFilters for MS-Office and HTML documents are integrated within Windows 2000+; For other type of documents (e.g. PDF) to be searchable, you'll need to install the relevant IFilters provided by manufactories.

    对于Windows，myBase尝试根据文件名后缀通过Windows里安装的IFilters分析文档。MS-Office和HTML的IFilters已经被集成到Windows 2000和之后的版本里。对于其他类型的文件（例如PDF），您需要安装相应的供应商提供的相应的IFilters才可以搜索。

    Once a new IFilter is installed, you'll need to clear and rebuild the index data for the relevant documents to be re-indexed.

    当安装新的IFilter后，需要清除和重建索引。

    For example, in order to make .PDF documents searchable, you'll need to install Acrobat Reader or any of available PDF IFilters and then re-build up indexes.

    例如您想使PDF文件能被搜索，您就需要首先安装Acrobat Reader或者PDF IFilters，然后再重建索引。
