I don't know if I am the only one to experience this, but it seems as though each time I upgrade BE, my static and smart groups are lost. Due to their transience, I don't use them too much, but it would be nice not to have to recreate them each time. Is this specific to my database? Any one have any...

IIRC, Jon released this fixed without a bump to the version number. If you download the version on the front page now it ought to work. The names get transferred rather than just initials, but that is not a big deal since they get stripped down when formatting.

When this fix is applied, will it correct both the direct Papers to BE export as well as BE's import of endnote xml? Thanks

Awesome, thanks!

I would think so, but here is a ref in nature format that came from Papers: Abal, M., Keryer, G. & Bornens, M. Centrioles resist forces applied on centrosomes during G2/M transition. Biology of the cell / under the auspices of the European Cell Biology Organization 97, 425-434 (2005). and here i...

I have been combining Papers and Bookends. The problem is the export to bookend via the direct route or via the endnote xml import gives long journal names and not the standard abbreviated names. Since the plugins come with Papers, this would seem to be their issue primarily, but looking through the...

A few more comments on the pdf-linking. 1) I don't fully understand the caching you refer to if I search for paper A, does the cache generated speed up the search for paper B? 2) I have had a few cases where the routine finds a single hit and assigns it and it may not be correct. It would be good to...

Hi Jon, I ain't a programmer, but I was challenged... Here is some of the output from man mdfind NAME mdfind -- finds files matching a given query SYNOPSIS mdfind [-live] [-onlyin directory] query DESCRIPTION The mdfind command consults the central metadata store and returns a list of files that mat...

You can't limit Spotlight searches to a directory (or at least I haven't seen a way to). There must be a way to do this as it is possible in the finder to focus the search to a directory and it is also implemented in the simple spotlight frontend called "notlight". Bookends does use infor...

When you say stay tuned, you mean it! This is a great added feature. I tried it briefly and may not fully understand how it is working but have a bit of initial feedback. 1) It might work faster if one could limit the searching to a particular directory of pdfs (as an option). 2) More importantly, i...

Having a way to automagically link one's large library of pdfs with the bookends database would be great. I am sure that most of the pdfs I want linked are already present in my database, just unlinked. So how about taking the abstract field from bookends and searching (w/ spotlight?) the folder of ...
