Re: Suggested tweaks to Extract Notes and Annotations

I understand. We are many happy users asking for different details that fit our own personal workflows, so I understand you have to prioritise. I can continue to manually "Copy notecard with citation" and "Copy link" from the note stream to move the notes and annotation to the ne...

Re: Suggested tweaks to Extract Notes and Annotations

I realise that I mixed up two different things. I am very happy with the full bibliography reference being listed on top, with a link to it in Bookends. That is very useful. What I would like, if I am allowed to dream, is to have a scannable citation code, with the page number, after each exported n...

Re: Suggested tweaks to Extract Notes and Annotations

Thanks Jon! I am afraid I am not a pro when it comes to scripts, although I very much wish I were. I am only a very happy user of Bookends as a central part of my personal knowledge management system. I am regularly reviewing the increasing capabilities of other reference management systems, and Boo...

Re: Suggested tweaks to Extract Notes and Annotations

This is amazing! The only couple of things I would still wish for regarding the export is: 1. An option to export each note or annotation as a single markdown file to the specified folder. That would save a lot of work for us believing in "one idea = one note" knowledge management systems ...

Re: Link to a particular annotation in the note stream?

It looks like this is going to work. Copy and paste or Command-drag PDF annotations into compatible apps (Scrivener, DevonTHINK, and TextEdit have been tested) and a clickable link will be created that will take you to that reference and highlight the annotation. You can even insert the link into a...

Re: Link to a particular annotation in the note stream?

That's okay. Perhaps one way to facilitate that could be to allow Hookmark (previously known as Hook) to make deep links in Bookend's pdf reader (if technically possible), like it can in Adobe Reader and Acrobat, Highlights, Preview, Skim and a few others. I see on their homepage that it can create ...

Link to a particular annotation in the note stream?

Thanks for a fantastic software! I currently use hypertext links to facilitate rapid access from my personal knowledge management system in Tinderbox to the references in my Bookends library. It works really well. However, it would be a dream to get a hypertext link to a particular annotation in the...

Re: PDF annotation changes -- comments

I'm thinking of a right-click option to "Sort Notecards By Page Number" that would sort only notecards in the database (the PDF annotations are already sorted by page number). The sorted order would be saved. I'll have to see if there are any negative side effects. Jon Sonny Software I ju...

Re: PDF annotation changes -- comments

That would be brilliant! Fingers crossed that it works out. Bookends is already far better than all other competitors, and in the last year, you have really managed to sprint ahead. This would be another functionality that would set bookends entirely apart.

Re: PDF annotation changes -- comments

Sorry for being unclear earlier. I have not thought through what could happen with the notecard without a page number, and I am also not knowledgeable about what is possible technically (although your team seems to be able to do more or less everything). I guess it would be best if they could be lef...

Re: PDF annotation changes -- comments

I am not wishing it to be automatic, but a function to use when wanting to get the notecards with page number in order. Notecards without page number would not be affected. Neither would the locked notecards extracted from annotations in the pdf.

Re: PDF annotation changes -- comments

😀 Yes, that’s what I meant by doing it manually. Having many notecards, perhaps a hundred, means a lot of dragging and dropping… I wish the programme could sense the page numbers marked by @ and offer to order these notecards in ascending order. Considering that you have so far managed to make Booke...

Re: PDF annotation changes -- comments

Thanks for the suggestions. As for 1) It's possible to do that, although others might find that annoying. I certainly do not want to add another UI layer on top of this with options and preferences. It's easy enough to add the quote marks yourself, so this would be a minor convenience. I'd like to ...

Re: Pdf annotation capacity on Mac coming to iOS?

Hats off to the team who fulfilled the dream to get the same fantastic annotation capacity as on the Mac version of Bookends also to the iOS version! Amazing work!

Thanks Jon! Now I have options for how to fix this.
