Re: Request/idea: NoteCard browser

Here are some of my initial thoughts to your brainstorm for what its worth: If your description is the way to go, the ability to "mass import" would be important. So if I could choose a whole group (or highlighted refs) and say "send notes to the note tray" this would be ideal. I...

Re: A.I. integration?

Thanks for the responses all. It is helpful to know how I can potentially use ChatPDF in Bookends. In my mind, it was (perhaps in the future once it gets better), a simple way to ask questions about the specific PDF that is being read without having to upload or leave the reading space

A.I. integration?

Wondering about people's (and Jon's) thoughts on possible AI integrations in the future. Specifically, I've been introduced to ChatPDF (https://aieducator.tools/tool/https_www_chatpdf_com_ref_aieducator_tools) and impressed with how it can help interact with PDFs. It would be amazing to have this ki...

Re: Request/idea: NoteCard browser

I've only used reference notes (in the Notes field) but if PDF annotation notes provide the same functionality (pg#, quote, note) plus this type of browsing ability, I'd definitely make use this option instead.

For what it is worth, I visualize it like the attached image.

Request/idea: NoteCard browser

This is perhaps a longshot, but I'll throw it out there anyway. I would love if the bookends Notecards could be browsed, searched, and utilized in a similar way to Notedex. This could look like a separate window that is devoted exclusively to notecards. Because notecards are tied to their citation, ...

REQUEST: metatype update to accommodate SBL style

The SBL Handbook of style is the formatting style used in Biblical studies, and is very similar to Chicago. One of requirements for book chapters cannot currently be dealt with by Bookends. Jon has asked me to put it into the forum to see if others like the idea / want to see it. Basically, if I am ...

Re: Pdf annotation capacity on Mac coming to iOS?

Just another voice to support this request (I’ve voiced the request before as well). Notecard and quotation ability on iOS would make it so much more valuable as the reason I pay the subscription is primarily because reading a PDF on my iPad is better than my Mac.

Re: Collaboration with co-authors--ideas?

1. Convince my collaborator to switch to Bookends, or at the very least use Bookends for this project. Obviously only works if that person uses Mac and is willing to take on the (modest) expense and effort. Thanks very much for these insights. Can I ask, in the example of getting someone to adopt B...

Re: syncing preferences

Hmm, okay. I wonder if I had just done something wrong. I am syncing my custom files via Dropbox, and sync my library and attachments with iCloud. But I had to manually do my reference types and my color labels.

Re: Collaboration with co-authors--ideas?

I too am interested in this, as I'm about to begin a collaborative project, and the other person is a Mac user as well. I've noted in another thread Jon suggesting the use of another iCloud account that can be shared for syncing. Has anyone actually tried this?

syncing preferences

Any chance we might see the preferences be included alongside the other custom files to sync ? It would certainly make the syncing another step easier for multiple macs

Re: 14.4.2 and iCloud PDFs

Okay – then I'll just register my complaint with this feature here. I don't want my gigs of PDFs on every Mac I use, as they all have varying HD space. It is the reason I choose to optimize Mac storage in the iCloud prefs in the first place. And if a PDF isn't showing in Bookends, I just use "r...
