I will look into that. Thanks! I just tried a work-around someone on the web suggested: I replaced the UI "click" command with keystroke "y" using {command down, control down} and it seems to be working. That wouldn't work, of course, for a menu item without a built-in keystroke ...

I tried that, but I get an error that the scripted app does not have accessibility access. I get that error even though I have it selected in the appropriate panel in the Security and Privacy pane. I notice that in the Automation pane of Security and Privacy, the scripted app only has access to syst...

Ha! What are the input, parameters, and return for? I'm not sure, honestly. I'm new to this. They were in the "Run AppleScript" template that Automator provides.

What's odd about this is that it executes the first command, "activate Bookends." Then it stops.

Hey folks, I've written a short and sweet AppleScript to switch from my word processor (Mellel) to Bookends and invoke "Copy Citation and Modifiers." I've pasted it in below. When I run the script from Script Editor or directly within Automator by clicking the "run" button within...

Thanks for the tip, Jon!

Thanks, Jon! It's good to know what's going on. I'll think about which approach fits better in my work flow. (I set up a temporary work-around with a Better Touch Tool workflow that did the hard work for me. It's a bit clumsy and slow, however.) Related question: I use Text Expander, and I considere...

Jon,

I started from scratch on a new document, but I got the same behavior: resetting to the topmost reference in the hits list.

Here's something that might be relevant: I'm using the "live bibliography" option in Mellel 5.1.0.r12.

Jon, I tested this out both with syncing paused and syncing active. I got the same results both ways, and they're narrower than I first reported. The behavior of resetting to the topmost reference only happens in the Hits list. It doesn't happen in the All list, a filtered list, or smart groups. It ...

Thanks for the quick response, Jon. I'll try suspending for a day and see what happens. If the behavior continues or resumed once I start syncing again (syncing is important to me), I'll try to take notes on the conditions under which it happens. It doesn't happen all of the time.

When I have a reference selected in the library window and use either the Copy Citation command (⌘-Y) or the Copy Citation and Modifiers command (⌘^-Y), the selection in the library window resets to the topmost reference in whichever list is displayed (hits, all references, etc.). Is there a way to ...

Thanks!

It would be great to have the Format Catalog display the in-text citation format, along with the Bibliography formats.
