Hmm, I see. In the Inspector I can link references together (which is useful and I used this from time to time), but it seems that's not possible to then pull a citation from a linked reference into a notecard. No worries, I might be able to hack something for my use case, but maybe could be somethi...

Yes I completely understand.

You should look into reference crosslinking.

Is this something that's possible with Bookends? I searched the manual for crosslinking and crosslink and couldn't find anything.

Thanks,
Pedro

Sorry for not being clear. I was actually referring to the ability to trigger floating citations by double tapping the trigger key when writing in a notecard (in the Notes stream). In this way it would be possible to search and insert matching references in the notecard, so we could end with somethi...

I don't know if this is even possible, but would be great to also trigger floating citations in the Notes stream. This would allow for things like: #Note title @1 > some quote See also {Doe and Foe, 1001, #24718} without having to leave the current reference to do a "Copy Citation" of othe...

Hmmm, the attachments didn't go through. Not sure why though...

Just to clarify, I'm searching for tags in the Live Search box after selecting Notecard from the pop-up menu and with the Notes stream visible.

The Manual indicates that we can search by tags in the Notecards using the Live Search box by prefixing the tag words with `%`. However, it seems this is not currently possible, at least with my Bookends installation (13.4.6). I'm attaching 3 screenshots to this message but couldn't make them inline...

1. These sorts of small inconsistencies creep in as features are removed, added, and modified over the years. I agree with you, and in the next update both will put a return after the page number. Thanks for looking into this. I think that to be consistent, both would also had the same '>' before t...

After exploring a bit more the annotation functionality in Bookends, I'm posting below some thoughts that I think could help improve the workflow, imho, for note-taking within Bookends (this has nothing to do with reference management, which I think is 5 stars). It is possible I may have overlooked ...

I was also starting to realise that. I was using the notes field because I could go back and forth in the text and also because could easily change the text that was written before (I guess this was my main motivation). But the bulk of notes are actually atomic and could work directly from the Notes...

I see. No worries, it's not a big deal. What I usually do is to copy the text from the PDF, highlight it and then paste it into the notes field. The only snag is that I have to manually add `>` for quoting and the page number. Maybe there are other options to streamline annotations (maybe other can ...

No, what I mean is that takes the focus from the Notes field (in the Edit reference panel) to the Notes stream. Not sure if this terminology is the most correct, but when I'm writing notes in Bookends in the Notes field (in the Edit reference panel), with the PDF shown in the attachments window (I u...

I don't know if this was addressed before, but a quick search didn't return meaningful results. I really like the Notes field as it's possible to edit and see all the annotations together as a single continuous note file, and have been trying to start taking all my notes there. For the major part it...

I see this was just incorporated into the new Bookends version 13.4.4. Many thanks!

Double clicking on a reference in the Library Window opens up the edit pane/window (as chosen in the Lists preferences). This is really useful because I like to have the edit panel hidden and only open it when there's a need to add or modify some fields like keywords or notes. However, double clicki...

Thanks for considering this.
