Re: Bookends On Tap

I updated Bookends for mac and purchased Bookends on Tap. I tried to connect the two, but it does not work. Bookends for mac recognized my iPad and I entered the pin code Bookends on tap display, but I could not proceed after that. The display is showing an endless time clock and iPad continues to ...

Re: Local PDFs

Hi Jon

I'd like the option, please-- I keep several sets of reprints (associated with different projects) in different places, and I have my own organization for them as well.

Thanks

What's really important is to be able to edit keywords without having to click to some other place and then click back again to the main view. How this get arranged doesn't really matter to me-- let me swap the notes and keywords fields, add space under the drawer, whatever. But having them in a dif...

One conceivable option I'm toying with would allow the user to specify what goes in the second tab: Keywords, Notes, or Abstract. But I'm not sure that's a great idea, either. Does that mean I could, in effect, pick which two fields show up at the bottom of the main page? If so, then great. I also ...

It seems that quite a few people would prefer to have the keywords field on the main page, rather than the notes or abstract field. I think Jon's right-- there are lots of ways to access the notes field now. Given a choice, I'd rather lose the notes field than the abstract field from the main page. ...

Bookends 10 window layout-- bring back the keywords field

I have a file with 7500 refs. There's a series editor entry in less than 5 of them, and I don't care about them. I see series editor information in printed bibliographies very rarely. On the other hand, I use keywords every day all the time, both reading and entering. Please let me have the keywords...

I use AuthorLastName Year Journal Volume.

I wonder if it would be lot of trouble to provide a preference that would allow users to specify what information to use in naming the file-- something like the choices we have now for displaying files in list view.
