Re: Unable to select text in a PDF

Thanks. The PDF appears locked, and it happens after working on a PDF for a while, i.e. it does not seem to be related to specific files. So far, I have not been able to see which actions that might trigger this.

Unable to select text in a PDF

Hi,
Often when reading and annotating a PDF in Bookends, I am suddenly unable to select text in it. It is resolved if I select another reference and then go back and forth between the references a couple of times. Is this a known bug?

Thanks,
Ken

Re: Keyword functions do not work

Thanks, I am rebuilding the library all the time these days and it doesn't seem to solve the issues. I attach examples of working with keywords in a new library I made now. Now it changed the keywords as expected before it crashed. When I tried it earlier it just doubled the keywords, so each refere...

Keyword functions do not work

Hi, I am not able to merge or change names of keywords in term lists (standalone window or left pane). When I do it the changes are reversed after a short while. I tried several times now and it does not work. Is anyone else frustrated by keywords in Bookends? Also, a shortcut to quickly add a keywo...

Re: PDF annotation changes -- comments

I have two hands ;) And yes, I do find it very annoying to get the pointer to the right little colour icon. It removes my attention from reading, whereas the keys are in my body and require no attention. I customised the keys (using better-touch-tool) so ctrl+1-5 each assigned a colour. Worked like ...

Re: PDF annotation changes -- comments

I see the rationale behind the new design, but I really really miss the option to assign keyboard shortcuts to underline and highlight. I had one shortcut for each colour and used it extensively when reading. I find it much more cumbersome to double click the colour in the pop-up. Would it be possib...

Re: Questions concerning PDF Notes

Thanks, Jon! Much appreciated. Please ascribe a shortcut to it. I miss that for 'Make Note' in the pdf menu now.
Cheers,

Questions concerning PDF Notes

Hi, I find myself using PDF notes in the note stream more and more. I have two questions/requests for functions that would improve this part of Bookends: 1) To navigate in notes for longer texts I manually copy the titles and place a # before them to highlight them. This is, however, far from ideal ...

Re: Tag autocomplete

Yes, i mean PDF tags. And thanks, right click is a good solution. I was not aware of that. Having suggestions appear as I start typing would make it a little easier, so please consider implementing that if possible. Cheers

Tag autocomplete

Is there a way to have tags (not keywords) autocomplete when entering them? If not, I would appreciate having that feature. Thanks.

Re: Notecard link

How about links to PDF notes, would that be possible?

Export PDF Notes and Highlights

Hi all, I am experimenting with a way of annotating PDFs and taking notes in Bookends and have them available in Obsidian. I use Highlights app to create a sidecar markdown file with the highlights and notes, and Hazel to sync the sidecar files to my Obsidian vault folder. It works ok, but I wonder ...
