Re: how to remove period at end of article title

Thanks, Jon. This is indeed the problem. The question now becomes how to remove periods at the end of text in the Title field.

I see under Global Change > Search and Replace. Can I use regex in this? If not, is the best option to write (or look for) an AppleScript?

how to remove period at end of article title

At the end of title, a period is automatically placed.How do I define the format to remove the period? My current format: a d t (u1) This appears as: Last - First 1984 The title of article. (Last1984) Note the period after "article". I'd like it to appear as: Last - First 1984 The title of...

Re: 1001 anonymous references

Thanks, Jon. I will try the Zotero route; however, if there are other suggestions, I'd love to hear them. The Origin Story of my anonymous references is a long (and sordid) tale (I don't think Marvel is interested). My issue is probably not due to a recent slow-down or glitch in Crossref. I am embar...

1001 anonymous references

I have 1,178 records with attachments. Unfortunately, Bookends is not able to automatically retrieve metadata for these records. What is the recommended approach to tackling this problem? I can think of one clunky solution: move these attachments into another application (e.g., Zotero). And hopefull...

subscription price increase?

I got a notification this morning that Bookends for iOS subscription price is increasing to $9.99. Is this accurate? I tried to poke around to find info but didn't see anything on the Bookends web site or Bookends app release information.

Re: Autocomplete on iOS?

A potential solution is to save PDFs to a Dropbox folder (using Files on iOS). This folder should be one that is "watched" by Bookends. If one leaves Bookends running on macOS, the PDFs will be taken in and auto-completed. Via sync, Bookends for iOS will be updated. Of course, this is not ...

database size

I am curious whether there is an explicit maximum size for a database. If no explicit value, is there a point where performance drops significantly? What aspects of performance might drop with increasing database size? Thanks.

Re: Autocomplete on iOS?

As a user, I agree. It is annoying. But, I empathize with the developer. It's tough to be able to develop for two different environments (iOS and macOS) and keep up with the yearly updates to both operating systems. Not to mention that every end user differs in how they strike a balance between the ...

Re: Merging attachments

Oddly, I cannot get this to work anymore. I cut-and-paste the name of the file, with or without comma or semicolon as a separator.

Has something changed in 12.8.2?

Re: setting up attachments for iCloud sync

This is really exasperating.... library syncs. attachments do not. folder does not show up in the Finder on Mac. PDFs attached on iOS don't show up on Mac, and vice versa. Something tells me it's iCloud being iCloud, but my goodness this is unbelievably frustrating. I've tried all the above stuff. R...

Re: Getting my head around iCloud

So, do you *not* recommend using iCloud for attachments?
