Hi Jon, I downloaded the silent update but still get the double attachment when I try to reattach the PDF: Screen Shot 2021-04-06 at 09.18.54_SMALL.png Perhaps this depends on the renaming options. I use a custom format using a {d} t for renaming. Anyway this is fairly minor. Regarding the log, coul...

Thanks Jon. So the recommendation is to make a copy of my database, use the MAM to move the ~1250 marooned attachments to a temp folder, then use "Find & Attach Local PDFs", spot-check what the result is, remove orphans if necessary, then replace the main database with the copy. Is there a way to ge...

If I use the attachment-pane right-click "Reattach..." method, I get to select the attachment, then I get this requestor: Screenshot 2021-04-04 at 12.05.01_SMALL.png I select add to existing attachment (i.e. it finds it correctly), which then results in a double-attachment (i.e. reattach does not re...

Hi Jon, first off thanks so much for the new marooned attachments manager (MAM)! For my core database, somehow I "lost" the links for ~1260 PDFs, they are in my attachments folder and the references are in my database, but the names do not line up (this happened quite some time ago, but I never had ...

Actually, headers are parsed if formatted correctly:

Bookends: Scrivener:

As far as I can tell, Notes are already split into separate cards (look at the raw OPML to see), and Scrivener imports them as children of the OPML document:
At the moment the title is not parsed, this could be added by using markdown headers?

The applescript interface returns text without any formatting (this script uses the older event system, but the newer dictionary also returns text). I suppose there may be a possibility to create a custom format including the note field, and return it as formatted text like HTML, I tested it and bol...

Thanks for thinking about it, I understand this is a challenging technical problem (most companies that deal with syncing have teams of hundreds of developers like Google, Apple, Dropbox, Microsoft etc.). I personally would still benefit from a BE-iOS ⬄ Zotero sync, and I hope it would help more use...

Although I don't use Zotero for any of my personal work, it is still the best way to collaborate with others and so I personally would use this. I really dislike Zotero's lacklustre interface, and would love to be able to manage my database using Bookends iOS. What I'd love even more was if iOS coul...

Open Window > Term Lists > Keywords (you can search/filter the list) and drag-n-drop the keyword to the selected refs. I don't know how to do that for hits, other than go to hits folder and select-all then drag-n-drop... It shouldn't be too difficult to make an applescript to take the current select...

Bookends for iOS is just totally brilliant, Serge and Jon did an amazing job on adapting lots of functionality that syncs so seamlessly with the desktop version. The fact I have my whole reference database in my pocket is so wonderful, looking up refs in meetings or replying to emails becomes a bree...

I can confirm that split-view fails on a 15" Macbook Pro, each window itself cannot be resized manually to half the screen width either...

I had another idea which was to use metadata for the JSON file, you can add custom metadata using xattr very easily and read it back: Write: set myJSONFile to "/Users/ian/Desktop/Test.json" set lastUpdate to (current date) set dateString to lastUpdate as string set cmd to "xattr -w 'com.apple.metada...

If anyone wants to get this to work, Pandoc has deprecated pandoc-citeproc to include citeproc directly, and now pandoc itself can convert BibTeX to CSL-JSON, so this script requires a small update to work... @zvh -- if you're still around a question: could you save the date as an entry (like a fake...

Thanks. I'll look into this. It's a good way to handle references for some literature analysis and reviews, but working on a project means adding references, so the sync issue is a problem for my workflow. .. Yes, this is an example of why improving the automation of Bookends is worthwhile, allowin...
