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...

@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...

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...

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.

I think we cross-posted, please see the comment about closing the superscript.

Also, you can change the superscript character to something other than ^

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

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.

It doesn't search all folders, just the default attachment folder and any ad hoc attachment folders you have. I don't know how many ad hoc folders you have, but you can remove any that are obsolete in Settings. As for matching them, we already have that feature, in the other direction -- select a re...

@iandol The first example works because it's using a conditional group, which is bounded by curly brackets, { }. You need to do the same in the second example: [{$DOI:$u17^z}] FYI, you can have many conditions in a group, placing a ^ between each of them. E.g.: {a^t^d^j^} which means 1. output autho...

Yes, for each Type in the format you would add <<z><z>> wherever you wanted the reference's URL to be displayed as a link.

You can create live hypertext links in formatted references. Please refer to the User Guide, p. 263, "Embedding live hypertext links in formatted references" Briefly, in the format use one of two variations: [descriptive text](the URL) or <<descriptive text><the URL>> The former is preferr...

A first cut that might be enough would be to add a smart SQL group that finds references with more than one attachment (it's a built-in option when you create a smart SQL group). Then add a new column Attachments in the library window. It's not fully automated, but it should then be possible to sele...

The next update will contain these and other improvements.

Before ansering -- are you using the Medline journal glossary? If not, you should. If you do, why do you want to import the short title? If that's really what you want, though, you can. Edit the PubMed filter. The PubMed tag for full journal name is JT. The tag for abbreviated name is TA. Please the...

You mean you want to create your own journal glossary, in addition to the ones we provide, and import journal abbreviations from somewhere? You can't do that, but you can create your own glossary in a text file and have Bookends use that glossary. If that's what you want to do I'll tell you how. Or ...
