I second that. Just wanted to add such a post to the forum. It really would make the notes easier to facilitate. The ultimate solution for me would be the ability to export these notes, say, in RTF with the title of the file being the title of the note entry, the note itself (preferably with all the ...

I love the ability to to something about the views! So far, I have encountered the following problems:

(1) As in the previous version, when adding a BibTex Key, I encountered the following error:
Exception Message: Record "9" is locked in table "thereferences".
Exception Error Number: 460037 :cry ...

Excellent point, my bad. For some reason, I always left it in the "Concise" view and thought, I couldn't add notes anymore. This solves it of course! Looking forward to seeing copy & paste in future updates

Sorry, I didn't mean to seem offended, and I'm certianly not. I was just pointing out that we did a lot of work to update the UI in Bookends 10, and the feedback has been positive. I should also mention that Cocoa is a framework, not a UI, and most of the interface elements are shared with Carbon ...

how do you take notes while reading a pdf?

That's actually a big problem in BE, at least to me. One way to make this easier would be to split the view you get when you click on the "attachment" tab with a little field above it that would contain the contents of the "notes" field. This would ...

Especially with all the wonderful things leopard will supposedly bring. I'd love to make Bookends my one-stop solution for all things reading sources. But the tandem Papers/Bookends works okay at the moment. Its the first application that made me read PDFs onscreen and be able to take notes. If ...

Thanks for the suggestion, Jon. I use that workaround now. I got really used to the convenience of the built-in browser and combination of online (browser) and PDF access to material from Papers, that I tend to keep a working URL around now in many cases and so a dedicated URL-bucket and a separate ...

Thanks for the quick reply - yes, I am aware of the selection of the various links (it's one of the reasons I add more than one now). I meant the use of the URL field information in the creation of references. For example, my references now yield something like this:

Genetic Sequence Data Bank ...

I tend to use the URL fields in Bookends now more frequently to store information such as email addresses and links to other applications (e.g., Papers). One problem I have now, is that Bookends uses the entire amount of information in the URL field when it uses the field in a reference. Would it be ...

At first it doesn't seem to make sense to separate them out in your database, but trust me, this is one of the most important things you should do from the start when you have a lot of those (I did and do). Once you have to conform to different standards, the separation of these formats will prove ...

Has anybody attempted to create special html pages for accessing the Bookends server via iPhone? And maybe would even be willing to share that format with the rest of us? For testing purposes, this or this might help.

I have recently adopted Papers to my workflow in addition to Bookends, especially since the two cooperate very well with each other. Now that BE incorporates a very helpful part of the main function of Papers (PDF integration), I begin wondering, if Jon is thinking about incorporating at some point ...

Oh my, how embarrassing, I had totally forgotten, as I never changed it once I had set it the way I wanted. Thanks...

It would be helpful to have the option to include more information in the list view window (or maybe I just have not found where I can do that?). For one, I would find it very helpful to be able to see right away the type of the reference (maybe in short-cuts to save space?). Last viewed (either ...

Personally, this is what I was hoping for a long time now, and I agree with others that keywords are critical. Yet, I find them now much better implemented. It would be nice to have a "combo" as advocated earlier, but only as an additional view option, not to replace the current solution, which ...
