I agree with this complaint. If you are going to limit my access to 50 records, then you should have a near immediate response when the upgrade is paid for. Alternately, for those who upgrade (i.e. already have Bookends), maybe the limit should be converted to a time frame (e.g. 7 days). It is VERY ...

I have just gone through my entire database. Last night I reattached about 75 files to their proper citation. Today I decided to go through systematically and find out how big a problem I had. I have 552 mis-attached citations to repair. This is out of 2280. Thus, out of 2280 I have at least 25% mis...

In the process of using Bookends yesterday I noticed that quite a few attachments were attached to the wrong citation. The title in the citation might say one thing, but the attachment something else. I had not noticed this before but I usually use BE as a repository, as opposed to an oft-used sourc...

When I use Bookends to Copy Hypertext Link AS LINK, it doesn't work if I try to import the link into Scrivener. BUT, if I use the command Copy Hypertext Link AS TEXT, it does. i.e. it is reversed. Is this a new bug, is it unique to my system (Mac Lion up-to-date on Mac-Mini) Latest Bookends & Sc...

BINGO! I created a form called "report" that I used for cataloging reports, and I changed the name of the "journal" field to "organization" and somehow the default reference type became report. I changed the default back to journal and now when I search, there is a fiel...

I know there is the default setting All Fields, but in the list of fields below that, there is no field called 'Journal'

How do I search in my database for articles from a specific journal. e.g. I want to find all the articles I have that were printed in Lancet. How do I do this as there is no search term for Journal. I have tried Search Text words begin with Lancet and Type is Journal Article But that also brings up ...

Thanks. I will give it a shot.

Is there a template for a Report, like a government report, or a report by a non-governmental organization. These are not really books, although that is what I usually use as the default, but a template for a Report would be nice.

How does one go about making such a thing?

Sometimes, not always, when I link an attachment to a record, the little colored ball just goes round and round and round. Eventually the attachment link window shows up, but it could be 30 to 45 seconds before it does. This is an inconsistent phenomenon. Many days the attachment is almost instantan...

Generally the reference no longer knows it has an attachment.
Once in a while I have seen a message stating it cannot find the attachment, but that is uncommon, usually it is "nothing to display".

At various times when I work I find a reference, or several, that I am quite certain I have linked to an attachment, but the link is gone. The file (pdf) is in my library folder, which is where I put them prior to entering them into Bookends, but the link to bookends is no longer there. I do not kno...

Re cache: will do.

Thanks

Thanks for the information. I have a 20mb cache for about 5300 references. I rebuilt my database (It was about 2 months old) and that has made a big improvement in speed. Apparently this needs to be done periodically, just as a matter of course.

When I search for an author in my *.bdb database the algorithm appears to be an incremental one in that when I type the first letter or two the system takes forever to respond and as the word evolves the typing becomes faster and the results appear. Thus if I search for e.g. Spady, when I type 'Spa'...
