For citations don't output the p- (unless that's what you want). To cite ad hoc pages, use Cited Pages

{temp cite@12-14}

You tell Bookends what to output before and after the Cited Pages in the format. So edit the format and remove the ", " in the Before field.

Change the default attachment folder to something else. Then, add one attachment from the folder Other's Papers. Bookends will now treat Other's Papers as an ad hoc attachment folder. That means it can find PDFs stored there, but it will not *move* PDFs there. They will be moved to the default folde...

There is a beta build with this feature that you can try.

So you don't want Bookends to see the attachments in Other's Papers, is that right? If so, change the default attachment folder to what it whatever it was before (best if it is the factory default, but not necessary). If Bookends still sees attachments in the Other's Papers folder, click on the Mana...

Impossible to know what's going on when that happens. If you can isolate which reference is causing the problem and I can reproduce it it should be possible to track it down. Since your screen snap shows you're on the first reference, just try that alone. Then contact tech support (support@sonnysoft...

I understood you. I'm thinking showing the default reference type when a format is opened (regardless of its position in the popup menu!). Bookends does *not* permanently default fo the Journal Article Type. That's what I was trying to explain. It defaults to the *first* Type in the popup menu (whic...

You can choose the default reference type now, it's just not applied to the format popup menu. But I think it could be.

1. They'd still be Journal Articles. But without that Type they'd be formatted like Books (or whatever the default first Type is in the format popup menu). When you added the journal type back to the format they'd be formatted as Journal Articles again. 3. Yes. You're not changing the *references* T...

P.S. I've made a silent update and Reattach should now work as intended.

No, these actions don't generate a log.

You could of course add back the Journal Article Type at any time. It would NOT be what was there originally. So if you were to do this, I'd copy the Primary Order field (and Subsequent, if not empty) and paste it into something like TextEdit. Then when you recreate the delete Journal Article Type, ...

I'll have to take a look at why it doesn't get rid of the orphaned attachment in that case. You can get rid of it using Global Change -> Remove Orphaned Attachments. This can be applied to one reference, many references, or all references at once. Try this on a Copy of your library first to see how ...

Yes, let's leave this, it's helpful.

Your solution works well, but for completeness I'll add you can scan a document with "Retain Hidden Citations" unchecked.

When opening the Format Manager Bookends sets the index to 0 (meaning that the first option in the list is shown). At this time, if you don't want it to be Journal Article, you can make it whatever you want (Book, in your case). It takes a few steps but it's not something that needs to be repeated. ...
