Using BE 9.1, I am running into an odd error when trying to attach PDFs to new references. (I've been able to do this without a hitch in the past.) I can create the references and enter data into them without any problem. I can bring up the dialog box for attaching a file, and select a file. But whe...

I second xaxa's request: I would very much like to be able to browse through the refs in whatever group I have open in the main application window using the arrow keys (or arrow buttons) in the open ref window.

Just installed the update, and I'm still seeing 13-14 seconds for initial launch. Glad to know improvements are coming!

Jon, I appreciate your need to have users' qualitative impressions backed up with actual performance data. I finally got around to running a very mini-shootout to test Bookends' performance on a G4 vs on an Intel Core Duo. The test beds: a MacBook Pro 15" 1.83 GHz with 1.5 GB RAM vs. a PowerBoo...

I would love to see SFX functionality added to BE. It's the one EndNote feature that I miss. There's more info here about the implementation of SFX at Harvard University's libraries (my home institution).

Hey Jon - Any update on the progress toward a universal version of BE?

Jon, Just a note of encouragement for getting out the universal binary. Using Bookends 9 on my MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz, there is a noticeable lag when the app launches (on the order of 10 seconds), and second-long lags when selecting new references or reference lists in the main window. The app remains...

I have a reference in which the author is a corporation with a name that begins with a number (3M Inc). I am using a custom reference type in which I force Bookends to format the author name as entered, without abbreviation. For some reason, it insists on formatting this reference as "M Inc&quo...

Bookends fails to properly capitalize following colons when auto-formating book or journal article titles in sentence case. For example, what should read as "A short title: A short book" Bookends renders as "A short title: a short book". This failure to capitalize the word follow...

After installing the Office 2004 Service Pack 2, I get an error message on launching Word: "There was an error loading Microsoft Framework." The Bookends toolbar and Tools menu additions are also missing. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Office. Same deal: updating with SP2 break...
