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.

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

@rossadam

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...
