Ref/PDF won't sync

I am manually syncing via WiFi, a group of references and their attachments from the desktop to iOS versions of Bookends. I have 48 papers in the group and only 47 will sync - 1 stubbornly refuses to. Nothing appears abnormal about it - it's only about 1.5 MB in size. I have purchased the iOS versio...

Verify links between library references and pdf attachments?

I'm wondering if there's any way to identify orphan pdf's in the attachment folder? At the moment I seem to have 2203 references in my Bookends library, but 2204 pdf's in the associated attachment folder.

Thanks,

Paul

Showing number of selected refs

Maybe I'm missing something, but if you select multiple refs, how do you see how many you have selected. Bookends continues to show the total number of refs in the library whether I select one or several refs. (e.g. Showing 2521 of 2521 refs)
Thanks

Merge two refs?

Hi, I am working through importing my Papers3 library to Bookends. There are quite a few pdfs for which Bookends can't autocomplete the metadata and I'm having to try and do this manually. I'm wondering - if I import a reference (either through the native online search or from an external file - e.g...

Keywords

Hi, I've tried doing a forum search and reading the manual, but I'm still not sure I understand keywords. I like the idea of tag clouds to find common themes among research papers. I see clouds can be formed with words from titles, abstracts, etc, but none of the pdf's I'm importing from Papers 3 an...

Rename attachments

Hi Jon, I purchased Bookends and am gla to be leaving the dog's breakfast of Papers3 behind. I imported my 2,500 pdfs into Bookends and it auto-matched about 1/2 so I guess I've got some work ahead of me autocompleting the metadata for the rest. I wanted to ask though - one thing I did like about Pa...

auto-match?

Hi, I've finally had it with the mess that Papers3 has become and am looking for an alternative. Does Bookends auto-match a pdfs metadata on import (i.e. title, authors, journal, etc), as Papers does? I used Bookends some time ago but only for reference formatting - I am now looking at it as a compl...

Re: Dropbox Sync

Thanks Jon, That is handy to know that about the Bookends App folder - I was wondering why there seemed to be a lot of duplicated files in that and the App Support folder. I am running 11.1.7. Have now left the Bookends app by itself in the App folder. Would be keen to hear from others out there abo...

Dropbox Sync

Hi, I know there are a couple of threads already on this, but would to clarify a couple of things. I've only ever used a laptop, but have decided to try a mac mini and would like to be able to keep data on the MBP synced for when I'm away. I've read about the Bookends sync function and that's someth...

Any Lion Issues?

Hi,

Lion looks like it's being released today - are there any issues with Bookends that we're aware of (which would stop me upgrading)?

Thanks

Re: Script Error

Hmm,

Looks like they were old script files. I replaced them and I don't get the error now.

Re: Script Error

Thanks Jon. No, I'm using 11.1.1. I've got the 5 scripts in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Word Script Menu Items/. I tried again and I noticed that the script actually seems to complete (ie I just did an unscan and it did restore the citations), but I'm still getting the error message. No great dr...
