Back in the dark days of computing, you chose your hardware platform based on what would run your desired software. To apply the same principle today, IMHO, for an academic researcher, Bookends is the most compelling reason to by a Mac.

A rebuild has fixed the problem.

Hi Jon:
What does the following database engine error mean: "segment 927 is wrong. The last segment is 922" The user now can't copy the PubMed-downloaded reference into his library.
I've told the user to rebuild his database while we await an answer.
Cheers,
Rob

Hi,

True date sorting sounds nice, but it really isn't practical. You can grab (import) date from thousands of sources, and they are not in a uniform syntax. There is no way to reconcile the dozens of ways dates can be represented and convert them to a uniform (and thus sortable) order. I could ...

Hello Jon:
Just migrated to a lovely Core2Duo MBP and BE v9.1 universal binary, but I spent so much time in the prefs menu that I wondered if it was possible to incorporate into a future release a "customize toolbar" command a la Safari etc where toolbar buttons (including Preferences!) could be ...

Hello there Jon;
Installed the 9.07 beta, and opened a converted copy of my library with it, and noticed that 9.07 is now registered, and v9.06 has become unregistered, so that it won't open my original library of 3000+ refs. Is that the case?
v9.07 looks to be a great beta, but beta nevertheless ...

Yup, that sounds fine to me-my paper library is probably due for a cull anyway, a constant battle between filing cabinet space and hard drive space.
many thanks again
Rob

Hi there Jon:
I've just finished writing my PhD dissertation, and the BE experience, on the whole, has been entirely positive, so thank you for a wonderful research tool!
I noticed that when I delete refs, the ref. numbers above the deleted one/s decrement to take the place of the deleted one/s--is ...

Hi there Jon:
Apols if this has been asked before, but any plans for a Windoze version? I'm sure you've got enough other stuff to do, but several of my PC-crippled colleagues are eagerly eyeing off my BE in our EndNote site-licensed institution. If ever there was a case of choosing your H/W platform ...

Yup, rebuild or repair please.

BTW, note that you can build smart groups that use the color label as a criterion. This may be very useful if you like highly organized data.

Yes, rebuild the smart groups and the color coding works a treat. Thanks for implementing this, an ...

Hi Rob, thanks for the suggestion. I'll think about color coding for attachments, but I don't think we'd offer different colors for different attachments. It would be rather time consuming to collect that info. And what if there was more than on attachment? Finally, I think that the vast majority ...

Hello there Jon;
I'm a recent convert from EN too. Overall I am impressed with BookEnds, and also your level of support and feed back.
I wonder if it will be possible in a future version to change the font/character attributes in the List view. I would like to color-code those references that have ...
