Hi,

I think that if you excluded 19th (the whole word) Bookends would deal with it correctly. But I take your point. How do other applications deal with this sort of thing?

In short, small developers (even large ones) have little influence, and the cpu makes absolutely no difference.

You have to compare the text you are trying to import to what the filter is expecting.

Open the Bookends RIS filter and you'll see that it expects references to begin with

TY

(Type), which does not appear in the SpringerLink output.

You can make a new filter based on our RIS filter (name it ...

Hi,

I really don't know if we have anything just like this (probably, but I haven't memorized them all). I'd start with something like J Immunol, click on New, and then edit it as needed (you'd need to change punctuation after initial, include issue with volume number, removing the trailing period ...

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it.

I don't know. Save it as RTF and scan that -- does that work?

Hi,

You mean you want to create footnotes, not a bibliography? In that case, create an empty footnote in Word and insert the temporary citation there. Bookends will replace it with the final form after scanning. You can also use Copy Formatted to insert the final form immediately, if you prefer ...

OK, I'll take a look there.

Hi David,

As Spotlight stands now, each reference in the db would have to be saved as a text file. And any edits made to the database would have to be written to the text file. I am not going to add this complex overhead to Bookends (which would of course not exactly speed the program up). And of ...

It doesn't matter -- if you have groups, you'll probably want to keep user settings. As noted in another thread, you won't see the groups appear immediately after the rebuild; you'll have to close and reopen the database for that. This cosmetic bug will be fixed.

Did you quit and relaunch Bookends?

If you did and still have this problem, please zip your database and send it to me, and I'll have a go at it.

Hi,

I've had a number of reports of this, all involving moving older (9.0.3 or before) databases to the current version. In all cases, this has solved the problem:

1. Quit and relaunch Bookends.
2. Repair the database -> it should now open.
3. Rebuild the database.

Thanks for the files.

Actually, the groups *are* retained after the rebuild when you keep user settings. However, some code that updated the List View window was inadvertently removed, so you don't see the groups until you close and reopen the database. I've restored the code, and will upload a new ...
