Yes, I've thought for a long time that merging may be inevitable.
However, I use so many static groups and folders in both libraries, and there are so many items in each library, I wonder whether it would be stable.
I will look into it again.
Thanks

Two libraries in one doc?
Hi all
I have two distinct Bookend libraries, one for books and one for films. I don't particularly want to combine them. Is it possible to use both libraries to produce bibliographies and citations in a single document? I use Mellel.
Thanks in advance

Sync Folder
Is it possible to sync a folder with its static groups so that I can create a shared, syncing set of references with other bookend users. I am part of an research project and I want the group to have a shared, synced bibliography so that we can all add references, tags etc. Is this possible with boo...

Re: Crtl Y Not Working
Yes, I thought that too, but they all seemed to be ticked, Mellel can control Bookends, Bookends can control Mellel...is there anything I can check or do?

Crtl Y Not Working
I'm using Bookends 13.5.1 and Mellel 5, and whenever I highlight a reference and press crtl Y in Bookends nothings happens in Mellel. In the past, I would press crtl Y and a citation object would appear at the cursor in Mellel. I can still drag reference into Mellel but crtl Y is much more convenien...

s.v. citing dictionaries
Hi all
How can I integrate s.v. into my bibliographies, formatted citations etc. Chicago style uses it for encyclopaedia, dictionaries etc. I use Mellel, so when I want to add a page number to an the unformatted citation I add @+page number, what do I do with s.v.?
Thanks

Re: Static Groups Missing
OK. So repair did not help.
Instead I took the 48 static groups out of their folder, and when I imported that library these static groups were still there.
Perhaps Bookends has problems when converting from earlier version libraries when folders contain more than a certain number of static groups...

Re: Static Groups Missing
What do you think caused it? I still have the old library running on the older version of Bookends with lost folder intact. Apart from manually repopulating each of the groups which would take forever, is there a way I can simply reexport it as a new library, then copy between libraries? Or somethin...

Static Groups Missing
Hi Jon I recently upgraded bookends from 12.5.8 to 13.5.2, and also changed laptops. Somehow, one of my static folders, which contained 45 static groups, simply became a static group and all of the static groups it contained disappeared. How can I fix this? I'd like to recover the 45 static groups. ...

Hi all Does anyone know how to make image attachments in library view fit the window? In earlier versions of Bookends you could select 'fit to window' but I can no longer see that option. I have a lot of images in my library, many are quite large, so if I can't scale them in the preview pane I can't...

Re: Copy Formatted Not Working
Thanks Timofcanberra. Yes, I agree that Mellel is strong, but ocassionally one needs the advice of experts in order to solve problems quickly, and in that regard, Mellel is very weak indeed. I had already checked nearly everything you suggested, but what you said did help me clarify the problem. Thi...
