Seems to be working now following a rebuild

I didn't. I only ever do a verify. Is there any risk with a rebuild or repair?

I've had similar issues happening for the last couple of months. I don't use a watch folder but: - Drag a pdf to the bookends icon on the dock. Bookends attaches it to the currently selected reference, even if I choose the new reference tick box. Happens often. - Drag a pdf to the desired reference ...

Of course. If you can't reproduce it, you can't fix it.

Big Sur, PDFkit update, both? Very minor issue though. Just saying Dellu is not alone experiencing it.

Just chiming in to say I'm getting the exact same behaviour. This is a relatively new (minor) issue that didn't exist before.

I found another tiny issue. Institutions are not exported correctly. I wonder if you happen to know something that's been bugging me. Is there any way to handle this case so that inline citations carry the acronym of the institution but the bibliography carries the full name? Or is it something tha...

That's great news. Must have missed it in the changelogs.

But I'll take a look at issue with & and %. This has been reported before. I wonder if the op turned on the 'bibtex markup' option? It should work better that way. It's particularly relevant for those who use biber with biblatex (which is everyone who uses biblatex - not a problem if you use th...

Yes please. It would be great if we had the option of PDF Viewer. I've been opening Bookends attachments in it through AppleScript but that doesn't work very well. As for issues in Big Sur, it's a bit early to say. I've had issues, but they're random, and normally involve Preview and OCRed pdfs. If ...

I've heard good things about Catalina regarding the pdf system. But many have recounted problems returning in Big Sur. See for example: https://annoying.technology/posts/86f4ea27e4cd90d0/ On a related note, there is a new pdf viewer for Mac called... PDF Viewer (https://pdfviewer.io). It's free, doe...

Removed from the *group* or removed from the "database"? Removed from the group. The idea is to have a 'reading list' group or groups, syncing their attachments to the iPad. Once annotation / reading is finished, I remove them from the group (not the database). Ideally, they would then st...

Hi Jon, I was referring to the storage taken by attachments on the iPad when syncing specific groups. It has been discussed on this thread: https://sonnysoftware.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3333&p=14873&hilit=delete+attachments+ipad#p14873 Perhaps it's different now (?), but it used t...

Personally I have no interest in syncing Bookends iOS with Zotero. Bookends for Mac syncing with Zotero would be more interesting though. Which brings me to my next point. At the moment I would hope efforts be directed at improving the Mac - iOS syncing mechanism, before any thoughts into Zotero tak...

Ok. Will investigate further and follow up via tech support if the problem persists.
