What if the result is that all refs with orphaned attachments are selected? Then the user can apply a label, mark, etc.

I see that, but it's hard to identify the little red clips.

I'm fixing problems with attachments and there are a few things that I can't figure out how to do in BE. I'm still using 11.3.7 (for a few more days!) I wonder if there's a way to put Refs that have orphaned attachments into the Hits list. BE has a command to remove orphaned attachments (Refs/Global...

I prefer to avoid using the automated citation features for archival sources, essentially because you'd need to tweak almost each of them and once they are a "field" that gets messy. But BE is great for handling your notes, so this is what I've done until very recently: 1- A bibliography d...

I've actually struggled with a similar issue and agree with the poster. I need autofill typically to add incomplete fields, typically the date in a journal (instead of 1991, September 1991), the issue of a journal or the page range. Initials and capitalization of titles in the internet databases are...

It'd be useful for me to import standard PDF annotations (highlights, comments, etc) into the Notes field. It'd be great if BE can also map then directly to page numbers. I think some PDF have smart page number information, so ideally a highlight would become something like @621 highlight "This...

Sounds good to me

Interesting, as a user of footnote formats I look forward to it. The old way was not bad for me but this is simpler and better. If you're still looking for testers I'll be happy to jump on board. Since you're revising the format window, I wanted to ask for a change that, although trivial, always str...

4. Such searches will only match references with the corresponding text or tag (if preceded by a % in the search box) in the notes field 5. Only the notecards that match the search will be shown in the note stream. 6. Notecards shown as the result of a match can't be edited, deleted, or rearranged....

Yes, I was thinking on the long run. But I think it'd be a good change, especially because users today expect a more note-centered interface (e.g. Evernote, even zotero to some extent). For instance, the idea of a note stack, I'm not sure how that fits with a text stream, how you can select arbitrar...

I like this idea of searching and easily identifying matching notecards. Color coding would be nice. I'm arriving to this late and I'm reading the discussion a bit too quickly, so maybe this is already out of the discussion or maybe this has been dealt with. But here's my thought: what about represe...

Sounds great to me.

OK, I now understand. It seems to me that the first alternative you showed is better (without any indent) because it is a direct representation of the notecard structure (header and not headers). The second proposal creates the impression of three different types of notecards. But in any case I am n...

As I was doing the mockup I realized that there's a confusion in the proposals, at least in my mind. In my proposal, I was thinking that the notestream was something like this: #this is header1 @123 this note depends on header1 (it's a child) this other note also depends on header1 (it's a child) #t...

I like the two proposals and the second slightly better. My suggestion is to try to distinguish "orphans" from "children" notes by using indents or a thicker top line (orphans and parents/headers have a thick top line, children have the usual thin outline). On subheaders: In my o...
