Re: Batch editing PDF metadata
You're right, I doubt it would be of interest to many, and an Applescript would be an ideal solution. I have no skills in that direction, but I can see that's not a reason to include it in the UI. FWIW I do use Bookends as a document manager (for PDFs and epubs at least).

Re: Great update of reference pane in 14.0.4
I have a strong preference to keep the current horizontal view. Doubling the height to gain a bit more space for titles and slightly larger edit fields is challenging trade off... If we could customise which fields were actively shown, then that could offset some of the scrolling problems? I think ...

Batch editing PDF metadata
Is this something that others would benefit from, and that could easily be implemented in Bookends? I find having at least the author field in the metadata for PDFs filled extremely helpful for narrowing down text content searches in apps such as Devonthink and Foxtrot. But I have only entered this ...

Re: Great update of reference pane in 14.0.4
I would favour the current, horizontal view, because it means less scrolling.

Re: Bookends webkit caches - safe to delete?
Thanks Jon. Thought that might be the case. Have deleted and the browser works fine.

Re: Bookends webkit caches - safe to delete?
It's a folder rather than a specific file. Library/Caches/com.sonnysoftware.bookends/Webkit/Networkcache/Version 16. In that folder there are two further folders: 'Blobs' (886 MB) and 'Records' (1.04 GB).

Bookends webkit caches - safe to delete?
I'm running out of storage space on my Mac's small SSD. Some maintenance software has picked out, amongst other things, caches for a few applications that are particularly large: Apple Music, my browser and Bookends, which is at 1.97GB. Is it safe to delete the Webkit cache? I know this is a partly ...

Re: Keyboard shortcut for new static group?
Thanks Jon, I wasn’t aware of that, that's helpful. The reason for pressing for a keyboard shortcut is that sometimes manic course creation requires creating lots of groups (12 per course...) well before deciding what references are going to be in them...

Keyboard shortcut for new static group?
Would it be possible to have a keyboard shortcut for adding new static groups? It's not a menu item so users can't map one onto it. Perhaps ctrl + option + n? The reason I ask is that I often have to add lots of groups in a row (e.g. when mapping out reading lists for weeks of a new syllabus), and i...

Re: Trash folder and undoing changes to database
Thanks Jon. Good to hear about the trash folder. I guessed an undo function would be difficult to add, but didn’t realise/know the database/UI distinction applied to groups and folders.

Trash folder and undoing changes to database
The first of these requests, for a trash folder, has been discussed before ( https://www.sonnysoftware.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3966&p=22521&hilit=trash#p22521 ) but I'm mentioning it again both to bump it and to couple it with a second, related request. I know that it's possible t...

'Send feedback' menu item?
I have a very minor feature request. Could the 'Help' menu in Bookends have an explicit 'Send Feedback' entry that leads to the support page (https://www.sonnysoftware.com/support/support.php) with the feedback form, perhaps prefilling some fields (e.g. name, Bookends version) on the way? Or it coul...

Keyboard shortcuts for All and Hits list
A recent version of Bookends removed menu items to switch to the 'All' and 'Hits' groups. This is a shame in my view, because once given keyboard shortcuts (via MacOS system preferences) these allowed for efficient keyboard navigation of the UI. Combined with 'find-as-you-type' in the references lis...
