Sorry, Jon - I missed your reply to the save as pdf - Yes - I'd found the webarchive version but generally save as pdf to work with the rest of my workflows - I'd completely missed the send pdf to bookends option, which is just what I have needed. Brilliant. Thanks very much.

Given a video that is on a webpage I could also scrape the page on which it is published - like this: import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import nltk def scrape_youtube_citation(url): response = requests.get(url) soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser') title = soup.find('titl...

it seems just as easy or easier to use the Zotero browser extension which is available for all browsers I might use and automate the export/import of the RIS.

Be nice to have one for Bookends too.

And the web to pdf functionality of the Zotero extension as well, come to that.

ooh, I like the apple intelligence suggestion! I'll give that one a go... Thank you.

Before I go too far down a rabbit hole, I'd like to ask others who may well have seen the obvious, native solution I am missing. I reference any videos I may have been influenced by, something like this: Title of Video (date uploaded) video, added by Username of uploader [Online]. Available at URL [...

Here's a funny little thought - is anyone using Bookends to host a Zettlekasten?

I know it is a really odd thought, but I was just wondering...

I was also a user of DT pro before Bookends - I'm convinced by Bookends, I'm not convinced that DTpro adds anything other than as a collection bucket. I keep notes elsewhere, I use Highlights as a pdf markup thing and I am just not sure what DT does anymore that is really useful - although the magic...

Thank you @DrJJWMac - I am busy adopting BE in the context you have outlined, and I am increasingly convinced of the approach. My remaining scenario concerns how I organise the resources I use in teaching - stuff I might produce or collect for use and re-use/re-purposing in my teaching practice I do...

Thanks - that's been my instinct as well, and first choice was the same tool - I was a long-term use of DT, and still have a licence for the current version - but it doesn't seem to like files being on cloud drives (in the way that you allow attachments to be). I may well look at DAM (as in digital ...

Ok - that's completely clear and useful... and custom folders... Agh... "These are the folders that Bookends uses to store formats, import filters, and glossaries that you have created or modified. To sync them between Macs, move them to the file-sync folder of your choice and in Settings tell ...

Brilliant, really is what I need - the experiments can be that, just fun experiments - if all has to be on the same service, that's fine. Right now, I'm not using a tablet as well as a Mac, which would be the use-case - it is possible in the nearish future, but not actually budgeted and planned. Are...

Thanks Jon - I think that answers my confusion about custom folders So, - the attachment folder is used to synchronise with iOS and must use iCloud. (between Macs any service) - The custom folder is an alternative for attachment files and may enabled by a cloud service (DropBox etc.., a list which h...

I'd appreciate it if someone could confirm/deny my assumption or understanding about how attachments are handled. This is important to me as I have limited hard disk space without external drives (which I don't use) I believe that - The Bookends database lives on my hard drive and regardless of sync...

I'm just adopting Bookends and I am planning/setting up how I shall be using it, and I hope to turn to more experienced hands for advice. Given the context of an individual knowledge worker engaged in reading, writing, researching, developing materials for work, and concerned with managing sources, ...
