Disallowing library storage in file-sync service folders
Bookends libraries should not be synced by services such as Dropbox, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, etc. Doing so can have unexpected consequences, the most serious being data corruption and, ultimately, an unrecoverable database. This is the first issue covered in our FAQ . Despite warnings in the doc...

Re: Smart Groups list entire database when no criteria match
I spent some time on this and have a few more comments about Live Search 1. The # prefix has a special meaning. It tells Bookends what comes next is a unique ID. So you can't use it without quote marks if you want the first character to be a #. If you use quote marks, it's treated just like any othe...

Re: Smart Groups list entire database when no criteria match
Try doing a Rebuild on the library. If you still see this behavior, please compress the library and send it to me at support@sonnysoftware.com.

Re: Smart Groups list entire database when no criteria match
If a smart search comes up empty, no references will be shown. Your search isn't going to do what you think it does. The way it's configured you are doing an indexed search, which ignores punctuation. So your search for "#envy" is really a search for "envy". If you want to includ...

Re: How does one batch change star ratings?
There is no global change for that. However, you can do this by creating a column for Rating. You can add/remove stars directly in the column by clicking on the dots/stars. If you select more than one reference, the star rating you choose is applied to all of them. You can apply this with any other ...

Re: What is the preferred workflow to import from EBSCO?
There are a number of things to consider. First, remember that Bookends data detectors look for DOIs, arXiv IDs, JSTOR URLs, and CoiNS (maybe another that's slipped my mind, but I'm out of town and can't check at the moment). That may explain why Bookends detects some but not all references. And if ...

Re: is it possible to use a field to add the date the ref was created?
Not dumb at all -- Bookends has a rather deep feature set and it's not always easy to locate a particular bit of information in the comprehensive (read: long) user guide. One other useful thing I forgot to mention -- if you select a static group when performing barcode scans, the books will be impor...

Re: is it possible to use a field to add the date the ref was created?
@Philologist has nicely summarized ways you can keep track of the date added. Two more that may be useful come to mind: (1) add a SQL smart group that finds references added in the last XX period of time (the default is 2 weeks, but it is easily modified), and (2) the date added is shown at the bott...

Re: Marooned Attachments - Automatch
You have to tell Bookends which folder to search for PDFs, and that shouldn't include PDFs you already have attached (i.e. your default attachment folder or any ad hoc folder). And 100 false positives sounds very high -- I can only imagine that if there is very little metadata entered for such a ref...

Re: How to add reference on iOS safari from PubMed
The Bookends Bookmarklet only works with Bookends for Mac.
You can attach web pages to references on the Mac, but I don't think you can do that in iOS. I'll defer to Serge.

Re: Bibtex output missing } when sub/superscripts are used
I think we cross-posted, please see the comment about closing the superscript.
Also, you can change the superscript character to something other than ^

Re: Bibtex output missing } when sub/superscripts are used
What version of Bookends?
The first line doesn't contain a "close superscript" character. It should be
"L^1^-minimization methods for Hamilton-Jacobi equations: the one-dimensional case

Re: Barcode scan
I've reconsidered this request and will add the Library of Congress as another source of book metadata when doing a Quick Add (text or barcode scan) using an ISBN.
