Are they the same version (e.g. 9.0.7)? If they are, please contact us directly for tech support.

Hi,

Sounds like some internal info got scrambled. Please Repair the database and see if that fixes it.

The date added holds for most ways you get reference into Bookends. It was added in 9.0.5. Any references added before 9.0.5 won't have dates, of course, only those added in 9.0.5 or later.

You can edit the BibTeX export filter to output the attachments (under any label you like). The single letter symbol for the attachments field is 'h' (if there is more than one attachment, they will be separated by returns).

OK, I see. No, Bookends will keep the text, but not any styling you apply. You can apply it after scanning, of course, but not before.

You can create a custom citation format that will let you set styles for any field. And if you italicize one word in the reference (say, in the title) that will be carried through to the final citation (if it is a custom citation format).

Hi,

This is probably due to a bug I just fixed that can cause Bookends to lose track of an attachment folder on another drive under certain circumstances. You can download Bookends again and see if it works now.

The date added is available -- you can see it at the bottom of the Info Drawer. But you can't search on this. I'll try to get around to that at some point.

But do remember that the reference number usually reflects the relative date added (sometimes not true if you duplicate a record or Insert a ...

Hi prop,

These are the same symptoms the other user reported, so it's probably the same problem. Have you had a chance to try another Mac? How about at least making a new account on your Mac?

The files are PDFs in a folder called Attachments that is in a folder called Bookends. The main reference file is in the Bookends portion. The correct file name is being searched for, just not finding it.

That should work if Preferences is set correctly. Another user had the same problem, which I ...

Hi,

You can open the text file you are trying to import and compare it to what these filters expect. I think a minor tweak will be all that is needed (e.g. telling Bookends what tag is used to begin a new reference -- that often is slighty different between different vendors).

If you can't figure ...

Ah, I see why. Here's the actual MEDLINE data that Bookends is importing (a piece of it):

FAU - Kalaany, Nada Y
AU - Kalaany NY
FAU - Mangelsdorf, David J
AU - Mangelsdorf DJ
LA - eng
PT - Journal Article
PT - Review

Note that PubMed lists the article as BOTH a Journal Article and a Review ...

That's enough. Edit the PubMed import filter, click on the button at the bottom labeled "Edit Type definitions", and enter "Review" (without the quote marks) next to the field Review. That should do it.

Probably this could be fixed by editing the PubMed filter. If you send me the search you did I'll take a look.
