Re: Font size for what you see on the screen

Those settings are on the Main tab of Settings -- Default fonts. In addition, the formatted view pane and the PDF viewer have zoom in and zoom out capabilities.

Re: Fraudulent Bookends ratings on MacUpdate

No, I have no idea who they are (bots?) or why they do this. But when I look I see their fingerprints on lots of apps that are totally unrelated (utilities, screen recorders, etc.). There is no pattern I'm aware of. I can't think of who might benefit from such a relatively minor (but very annoying) ...

Fraudulent Bookends ratings on MacUpdate

I check in with MacUpdate from time to time to see if there is new Bookends feedback. Although there isn't much activity, in the last month I've noticed a slow erosion of the star rating, which was due to a steady drip of 1 star ratings (not reviews, which require user comments), beginning September...

Yes. Select the references you want to refresh and use Refs -> Generate Citekey (Shift-Command K).

Re: 'Added today' group remains empty

This thread deals only with searches for dates established programmatically (e.g. date added and date modified). If you mean dates imported or entered manually in the Date field, they are free-form.

Re: 'Added today' group remains empty

Don't forget, in the next update dashes and periods in that SQL date part-search will not work, but slashes will work for everyone. You can still use whatever you want in the database date field, however.

Re: Scanning in Microsoft Word: keeping the cursor position and displaying the style choice window

There are a lot more options than just changing the format. Sorry, I don't see making relatively significant changes in the UI (adding complicating new UI elements) for such a trivial thing.

Re: Sync smart groups between Mac and iOS

That's been discussed in a number of threads, and the answer is no. Bookends for Mac and iOS use different database engines with very different capabilities (the macOS one is far more powerful). With Wi-Fi sync, smart Mac groups can be synced to iOS, but they become static groups on that device. We'...

Re: Scanning in Microsoft Word: keeping the cursor position and displaying the style choice window

It's conceivable that Bookends could keep the cursor location approximately where it was when the scan began, but likely not, since the text before it will often if not usually change as temp citations are removed and replaced with final citations. But since Bookends is doing the scan and replacemen...

Re: 'Added today' group remains empty

Have you tried a dash? 01-01-1904 ?

Assuming your system language isn't English, please try temporarily setting it to English. See if that helps.

Re: 'Added today' group remains empty

Because Bookends has been around long enough that some dates are saved in the old macOS epoch, which began in 1904, not 1970. At some point we will convert them. The solution for now will be to ignore locales and have the database recognize the slash (/) as the date part separator so that the same S...

Re: 'Added today' group remains empty

At some point that probably coincided with an OS upgrade the date parts delimiter varies with the system language setting. I've only had support requests about this from German users, so it may just apply to them. In any case, try using a - instead of a /. Like this dateAdded > datediff( now(), '01-...

Re: Possibly a bug when changing case of titles in standalone reference window

The standalone window is meant for entering and editing only, when it's in front most library-wide features are not available via the menus. Bring the library window to the front to use them. I don't see any problems using a right-click Change Case in a standalone reference field, nor with Global Ch...

Do a Find Again (Command-G) to find the next occurrence of the word you're searching for.
