have you hints that they are down-rating bookends and promoting a competitor app?

Re: Creation of a bibliography not at the end of the document

would it (optionally) be possible to select the position, where the bibliography should be inserted, e.g. by inserting something like {bibliography}? or technically not possible or not advisable for other reasons (speed, stability)? for me the current behavior is absolutely fine, therefore no proble...

Re: Selector in Preferences for Default epub Viewer?

I understand, me (and as you say probably most bookends users) are mainly using it with pdfs... I like your suggested solution with drag and drop of the icon to other apps. other possibility: maybe a hidden or advanced setting section (either in the app or in a setting text file) might also be an op...

thank you so much for your detailed description of your workflow. So you are using pandoc mainly to convert markdown files to another format using different CSS stylesheets?

Re: Selector in Preferences for Default epub Viewer?

I thought drag and drop of a pdfs thumbnail in bookends to the finder or any other app is already possible, isn't it?

Re: BE wants to created two entries from one citation in Mellel when scanning

May I ask why you use scrivener and then Mellel? I am writing everything with microsoft word, but I am interested in other apps and workflows. May you share which advantages you see in your workflow and especially why you are using two writing apps?

Re: Joining two libraries

@DrJJWMac thank you. maybe a theoretical question: isn't zipping a library a potentially slightly higher risk for a corrupted backup?

@DrJJWMac , can you explain, why you would do so - instead of the simple approach of @Jon?

Re: Bookends and Hookmark

regarding hookmark in general: while writing a manuscript in word, does it have advantages of searching a paper, that I want to cite, with hookmark instead with the floating citation plugin of bookends in order to insert a reference/citation in a word document?

Re: Feature Request: Open Attachment with Default Button on Taskbar

I was wondering if it would be useful/intuitive if there was an option to open the pdf by double clicking on a reference in Bookends, i.e. a similar behaviour as in the Finder and some other applications. I know you can click on the paperclip icon and now the new big icon in the toolbar, but I'm jus...
