    Hello.  How do I rebuild the database?  I just upgraded to 0.5.2, and this option seems to be gone from the GUI.  My notes for manual rebuild are not working.

    Thanks!

    P.S. New verion working great!  Thank you again for this product!

      The simplest thing to do is to quit J-Bird if it's running, edit the J-Bird.prefs file using a simple text editor and to change the value of NextRun from Run to Build, and then launch J-Bird. It will come up with the graphical user interface for building the database. The bottom option is to rebuild from previously dumped CSV files or zip files.  Note that both J-Bird.prefs and the CSV files are expected to be in the data directory (and no longer in the directory in which J-Bird itself is installed - as of 0.5.0). The default locations are %APPDATA%\J-Bird on Windows, "~/Library/Application Support/J-Bird" on Mac and ~/.J-Bird on Linux.  

      If you'd like to restore using commands, examples are given at http://j-bird.sourceforge.net/uapdxa.html

      Thanks for the kudos!
