It appears to be the display of the pdf of articles attached to a reference within the main library that crashes the program. If I turn off the "use webkit to display pdf's" selection then the pdf is displayed and the program does not crash.

I hope this helps Jon.

My problem that occurs in snow leopard is that bookends crashes when I try to open my database. The database opens and you see the window for a fraction of a second and then bookends quits with no crash report. The database opened just fine under Leopard.

However it will open a new database and my ...

Thanks

It isn't connecting for me either. Although I can access it in my browser.

What gives?

How do you search Web of Science? I don't see it as an option in the onlie search window. Do I have to configure something and if so what and how?

In fact every time I click on the search group the number of references showing changes.

What is happening?

Actually after clicking the search icon in the groups pane the number of refs was updated to "showing 1182 of 1171", the difference being 9 (see above) in the "Refs with PDFs" group.

However these 9 refs without an attachment still appear in the search. Why?

The "Refs without PDFs" group now shows ...

Hi Jon,

I have in my attachment folder 1201 pdf files of journals that I use in the Bookends database. Presumably, if all are attached to a reference in the database, the following SQL search that I have named "Refs with PDFs" should report "showing 1201 of 1201 references".

I like Gerson's idea for making a bookends preference setting for naming pdf journal articles that are attached to the references.

Maybe Jon can develope something toward this goal.

This is a good thread and thank for the comments and votes. Keep them coming.

I think bookends should manage both ...

I would like to select all the references without attachments and check for the pdf's online for downloading.

Also is there a way to determine how many of your references have an attached pdf?

I am curious how users are filing their downloaded pdf articles. I made use of long filenames for easy searching in the case of a third party reference software failure (God Forbid).

Such As..

First(Corresponding) Author, Journal Volume(Issue) Year, Abbreviation of Title.pdf

Earlier some years ago when I was a grad student, I would file the pdf's I downloaded by creating long file names so that I could search for them effectively in the finder. The file name would look like the following.

Akerlof G, JACS v54(11) 1932, Dielectric constants of organic solvent-water ...

Hi Jon,

I have just gotten the new iTunes 7.0.0 and it organizes libraries, music stores, external media, and playlists as subgroups of the above in the sidebar.

I thought that it would be nice to group the types of groups in the side bar of Bookends in a similar manner.

For Example:
Static ...

That works fine. However, I loose all my group information during the export/import.

Perhaps, I shall wait till you add that feature in a later release.

Thanks,
Matt

I know how to do this with open reference one at a time (Command-Shift-K), but is there a quick way to do this with all your references at once?

Thanks,
Matt
