Excellent. Thanks

I open the .bdb file and it appears under the menu "Window" but I cannnot find/see the library anywhere. How can I fix this?

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...

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?

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...

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

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...

Thanks Jon, will try that now and let you know.

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...

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. ...

Ah, OK, so it has been changed. Thanks Jon

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...

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...

Yes, you're right, it's not a Bookend problem. Was just hoping someone who uses Mellel might be able to help. I've already checked Edit -> Bibliography -> Bib & Cit. style Mapping, and it doesn't solve problem. Jon, is there any way you could help me contact RedleX? I know this is beyond the cal...

Thanks Nicka, it would be really helpful if some Mellel users here would look at this problem. I'm running 10.8.4 on a new Macbook Pro. Cmd K in Bookends should 'copy formatted' selected reference(s) and automatically paste them to the cursor in Mellel. The reference should be formatted according to...
