Re: A new universal database (K10plus)

I understand that you cannot read it. I am not complaining about BE either. I totally understood how he edited the fields: and very helpful guide. What I am saying is the original source has faults because it is putting two fields into one tag (field.). I will try to send an email to their contact s...

Re: A new universal database (K10plus)

As look closely, the original tags are mostly wrong, unfortunately. The Title field is fused with the Author field; and the Subtitle has taken the place of the Title. That seems to be the case across all the Amharic entries. GBV_amh.jpg - 880b is subtitle - 880c is author But, 880a is author in the ...

Re: A new universal database (K10plus)

Thank you dear Philologist. You did an amazing favor to me. I won't be able to figure it out.
This is great.
@Jon; sorry: I should have written those words in Geez script.
ፍቅር the original word I searched. But, the issue is resolved now.

Re: A new universal database (K10plus)

Dear Philologist; thank you for bringing this powerful resource to our attention. This is very interesting system. I am relieved to find a new working search engine after my failure to deal with Worldcat. Having said that, I have a little observation I want you know (in case you are somehow involved...

Re: GBV (GVK) as a bibliographic online source

Thank you for letting us know. This is extremely useful information. Long time ago, I used to get the best quality book reference from Library of Stanford. The quality of the reference from google Books is not that reliable. World Cat used to be the next great source. Since WorldCat's new interface,...

Re: Importing references from New Worldcat site

Isn't there any progress yet?

It is very sad that such a rich source is locked away from us.

That is interesting. I never knew you can do that with those tools.

Re: Generating an author index

I would say the poster in the DevonEVONt forum doesn't fully understand your problem. He is talking about the list of authors. Yes, you can list out the cited authors using different methods. But, keeping them linked to the page where they appear is a different problem. I think having an author inde...

Re: Creating Bookends References from Word reference list

Parse the plain list using https://anystyle.io:
and import the structured reference to Bookends.

That is what I do when I have a list of unformatted references anyways.

Re: Bookends For The Lazy Newbie

Thank you for reminding us about the meeting.
And, very pleased to hear that Jon is a fellow academic. I never knew. But, I should have suspected it from the temperaments to get into details; and from the patience for dabblers.

A better method to connect Bookends and Devonthink

I have been using Zach's script posted here https://www.sonnysoftware.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=4823 to jump back and forth between BE and DT. Zach's script very useful one; have been using it for a long time. But, it requires a lot of work to write the links on user20 and the url field in Dt. ryan...

Re: Request/idea: NoteCard browser

@Jon ... FWIW, the other app that I tested to manage PDF annotations is [ZenReader](https://zenreader.co.uk). It acts as a cross between Obsidian (as an electron app) and Highlights and LiquidText / MarginNote. It requires an on-line connection even to run the free version. Perhaps the videos that ...

Formatting annotation extractions: feature request

Please excuse me if this is already discussed or covered. I am a bit late to the party on annotation extraction and many other new features in Be. I havn't been following the progresses for while. But, anyways, I want is the markdown extraction to have a formatting similar to what we have in the Hig...
