Re: APA 6th - All Authors in First Referenc
Thanks! And that is odd since I am using version 12...I just downloaded the most recent update so haven't had a chance to check it out yet. Ok, I will see what happens with the latest updated version, and if not, I will download from the FTP site.

APA 6th - All Authors in First Referenc
Hello Jon, Per APA 6th, when a work has three, four, or five authors, all of them should be cited the first time the reference occurs. However, Bookends only accounts for two authors; anything over that number and I get a First Author, et al. (Date) in the in-text citation. Ex. Chen, et al. (2015) i...

Make Bib Greyed Out
I am attempting to use the Bibliography menu item to create a bibliography of the hits. However, the "Make Bib" option is greyed out (see attached pix), and I am unsure why. I remember using this feature previously, so I am not sure what has changed... thoughts as to cause?.
Thanks,
Vidya
Thanks,

Re: Strange Attachment Bug
I rebuilt using File -> Library Maintenance -> Rebuild. then used Get PDF -> find & Attach Local PDF, and it attached without a hitch.
I suspect the database got a little messed up when resolving Dropbox Finder Integration and Sync issues with El Capitan.
All good now.
Thanks Jon!

Strange Attachment Bug
I am experiencing a strange attachment bug with BE 12.5.4: When I attempt to attach a local PDF stored in my Downloads folder so that BE can then move it to my Attachments folder, the move takes place, but the PDF itself doesn't get attached. That is, I don't see the little paper clip icon next to t...

Re: Bookends 12.2.4 Crashes While Syncing With Another Library
I just realized that I failed to communicate a critical piece of information that may have distorted your understanding of my setup: The local libraries for the iMac and MBP live in the Documents folder of those computers. They are local in every sense of the word. The DropBox folder on the iMac and...

Re: Bookends 12.2.4 Crashes While Syncing With Another Library
Jon, I am willing to turn off the Dropbox library, if you can let me know how to then keep the local libraries on my iMac and my MacBookPro in sync. I used the following scenario detailed in the User Guide as the starting point to set this up and it has worked wonderfully until now: You are the only...

Bookends 12.2.4 Crashes While Syncing With Another Library
I use Bookends on two computers, both running Yosemite currently. I have a local library on each computer, and one in DropBox. I use the "Use last sync dates" setting for Master/Client determination as detailed in the User Guide. However, on my MacBookPro - running OS 10.10.2 - Bookends cr...
