New problem with Nisus Writer Pro

I am having a new problem with Nisus Writer Pro and Bookends. It's somewhat complicated, but I can describe a simple version that, if resolved, will probably also fix the complicated version. I am working on a new M1 Mac mini, with current versions of NWP (Universal) and Bookends. If I open a new NW...

Re: Show Attachment in Finder

Using BetterTouchTool, you can trigger a context menu and then automate the mouse movement (BTT can't seem to trigger Bookend's context menu items directly, not sure why): Download: https://folivora.ai/ https://www.dropbox.com/s/s5e6pk7lm9ypz0t/bookends-automate.png?raw=1 Thanks for this suggestion...

Show Attachment in Finder

I know I can Control-click on a reference to "Show Attachment in Finder." Is there a keyboard shortcut for this? Or some way (menu item) that I can create one myself either in System Preferences > Keyboard or with KeyboardMaestro?

iCloud and PDFs

I hope I can explain this. I currently have PDFs managed through Bookends and stored on iCloud, so my Bookends and PDFs are accessible on my iOS devices. I also use DevonThink 3 to *index* (not import) those PDFs. I understand from the DevonThink forum that having the PDFs stored in iCloud is not an...

Re: Mellel 4.2

I've got it working. Not sure how, but I suspect it was a problem with giving my Mellel permission to control Bookends. I was sure I had done that. Perhaps not.

Mellel 4.2

Bookends and Mellel 4.2 are not working for me. I have latest versions of both. I cannot select Live Bibliography in Mellel. When I try to scan manually, Mellel gives the "Scanning Document" dialog, but Bookends never puts on the dialog to select a format. So everything stalls at "Sca...

Re: "Scan document" Add-in for Word not working

I had this problem as well, and 13.0.5 certainly seems to have fixed it. However, I wanted to post a heads up to others. I use the clipboard utility Copy'em Paste for certain things. It seems to sometimes interact in not good ways with pasting from Bookends into Word, making it seem like the scan is...

Re: Copy citation to Mellel 4

That's right. We'll be releasing a Bookends update compatible with Mellel 4 around the time the latter is released. If you're in the Mellel 4 beta program you can write to RedleX and request access to the Bookends beta. Jon Sonny Software Has this update been released? Are Bookends and Mellel 4 now...

Workflow request

Here's what I'd like to see: the capability of using BoT in split screen mode on an iPad (think: iPad Pro), with a word processor or editor of my choice (Ulysses perhaps) on the other side. And the ability to copy/paste tags from BoT to the editor. At this point, it wouldn't even matter if I could s...

Book stylesheets

Does anyone have, or know of, citation formats for the book stylesheets of Cambridge U Press, Oxford U Press, or Mouton de Gruyter?

Re: Attach one PDF to multiple refs?

Might the solution to problem be to create 15 separate PDFs, one for each article, and attach them to the relevant citation? It's pretty easy to divide a single PDF into pieces: select the relevant pages, copy; select "New" in Preview, and paste. Then save.

Re: MS Word plugin – will it work with the new 2016 release?

Another solution is to create a set of Applescript macros using KeyboardMaestro. Assign a hot key trigger and restrict them to work only in Microsoft Word.

I posted the following in the Pages support page: I'm very disappointed with the new Pages 5.
