Feature suggestion: Quicksilver access to BE database

Okay, Jon, I'm sure you're sick of getting these things, but I'd just like to toss an idea out there... For the last year or so, I've been using Quicksilver to access pretty much everything on my Mac (http://www.blacktree.com/quicksilver/). It runs in the background and is activated from anywhere by...

Sort order in Bibliography?

Attempts to open unavailable database @ startup

I periodically need to access a Bookends database on another computer on my network. I do this by mounting that hard drive, and opening the database (instead of using the BE Server, which I'd rather not use). However, the next time I start Bookends (and everytime after that), the program tries to op...
