Thank you. Setting the "Attachment folder" to the root folder of the XML's folder hierarchy worked.

I have an XML file from EndNote listing the PDF attachments with their absolute paths. It appears that Bookends, upon importing, truncates these paths, and the "Attachments" pane shows an error message that the PDF attachment cannot be found. Is Bookends removing the path information? Is t...

The containing Smart Folder now only shows the restricted content of the contained item. Add a different subgroup of the containing Smart Folder as a Smart Group, the co...

Thank you for your response. I am now officially a registered customer. I know of the Valentina engine but have never used it (only used SQLite as embedded engine).

However, I ended up with the unexpected result that I showed in the image. In other words, I started w...

Thanks for the reply - yes you are correct, I was referring to PDFs. I did not grasp the "Autocomplete Paper ..." function's logic. It appears to create a new detached reference (shows two paperclips but no attachment - please see attachment). The Autocomplete Paper function's workflow mig...

Thank you whoever posted this - this is the reason I have not purchased Bookends yet. Please consider the following feature requests that I hope would benefit many: 1. Selected PDF text could be searched (via right-click) using PubMed. 2. Selected PDF text could be assigned (via right-click) to refe...
