No need for adventure. In the Finder, duplicate each library and merge those, remove duplicates, make smart groups, etc. If anything goes wrong or you don't like the result, trash the copies and keep using your two-state solution. If you think you're happy with the merged library, move the original...

Thanks, Jon, for the quick and helpful reply! I'll try it when I feel particularly adventurous - or bored

Hi, I have two Bookends libraries - one is my main library, in daily use, and the other contains all the books that are on the bookshelves in my office. Ideally, I would like to turn them into one library, but I am afraid that this will create double entries, as it is likely that a number of the 683...

Hmm - somewhat puzzled. Another format file? How would I open it?

I was expecting some sort of document giving information about the format used...

Exporting from the bibliography window to, say, Pages adds another step that I would like to avoid if possible. However, doing that produces the outcome I want, so it should not be an issue with the printer driver. But: with Pages, too, sometimes the text is printed wrong (portrait orientation text ...

Thanks - yes, I am aware! But neither option produces the correct line break - and the landscape option fails to turn the direction of the text by 90 degrees. I attach a picture I took of two attempts at printout - the first in portrait, the second in landscape orientation. It probably illustrates t...

Many thanks for the quick answer! I have set the correct paper dimensions in File → Page Setup. However, when I print, I get the wrong format - text that is formatted for a portrait card, but turned by 90 degrees as for landscape. As a consequence, the text is cut off and incomplete. I just tried to...

Hi, I want to keep my bibliographic references not only in Bookends, but also in a physical "Zettelkasten". To that end, I keep 4x6 cards and have so far noted down the bibliographic details for each article or book manually on one card each. Surely I could do that with Bookends? I can pri...
