I set a keyboard shortcut for Open Attachment With > Highlights (in System Preferences > Keyboard > App Shortcuts; I used ⌃⌥⌘+H ) and in BetterTouchTool I created a Keyboard Shortcut ( ⌃⌥⌘+C ) that processes two ...

Re: Open an attachment in a specific app

Not sure that would do what I need. I'd like to be able to open attachments in Highlights (not in PDF Expert which is my default app to read/edit pdfs outside of Bookends). I can use the contextual menu, but I'm trying to speed up the process. Since I cannot set a shortcut to a contextual menu item,...

Question re: Edit References sidebar

If I remember correctly a few versions ago there was a way to fill the various fields (Edit Reference sidebar) in a pop-up window (double clicking the fields in question to be filled/edited). That was a very useful feature to me, specially when filling the authors', editors' and keywords' fields. I ...

Re: Colors for better navigation

I agree that the first request would be welcomed. @Jon... if my opinion can nudge you for an update with this feature, I'll join the request. :)

Note: here at home we are still mourning the lack of colours in the Finder's toolbar. :cry:

Re: Bookends' import workflow seems to pale in comparison to Zotero

@ryanjamurphy This won't substitute the speedy workflow of Zotero (I've moved from it to Bookends several year ago and also miss its fast capture abilities), but maybe it can useful. I gave up on Bookends browser because it felt too slow for my needs. What I do now is: Step 1. Use safari to research...

Re: Looking for suggestions on workflow (re: projects and their references)

Thanks for the feedback, Philologist. I was wondering if there was a better system than the one I already had set up. I think we are working similarly... but your suggestion of nested folders is a great improvement.
