Re: Selector in Preferences for Default epub Viewer?
FWIW, PDFExpert (macOS) offers to convert an ePub directly to PDF at the point where you try to open the ePub with it. I imagine its iPadOS version might do the same (not tested).

Feature Requests: A few thoughts on the (...) menu
I'd appreciate having a way to see summary statistics about a library. * Number of Articles * Number of Attachments * Library Data Folder * Last Modified Date * Last Synced Date * ??? others ??? As I review the menu options in the (...) expansion, I wonder if this could be cleaner and include an Abo...

Feature Request: DOI input at Autofill From Internet
I have collected articles where the DOI information does not fill. I am extracting the DOI from the PDF to add to the meta data for the article. As part of this, I have two requests that would streamline this type of manual processing. * The Edit Reference fields are split between a Main and Additio...

Re: Request: Hard-Wire Method to Sync
For those who are interested, the issue has been resolved. My campus routers were blocking the protocols needed for the WiFi sync between BE iPadOS and BE macOS.

Re: Request: Hard-Wire Method to Sync
Sorry to hear this. Thank you for the update. I am still troubleshooting the issue. My best guess is that our campus routers are blocking (blacklisting or not whitelisting) the protocol required for WiFi sync.

Here is a more compact version. use AppleScript version "2.4" -- Yosemite (10.10) or later use scripting additions on run set theReturns to {} -- included for debugging only tell application "Bookends" to tell the front library window set pubList to every publication item repeat ...

Request: Hard-Wire Method to Sync
I am stuck with my university WiFi network not syncing between Bookends iPadOS and Bookends macOS. I will try to sort out internally what protocol is missing or caught by the university routers. In the meantime, I might ask whether the two apps could support a "hard wire" method to synchro...

Re: Script: Capture DOI field on PDF and run AutoFill
> Please send me one PDF where Bookends can't find the DOI in the text. My fault. The articles I have to parse were sent to Bookends using iPadOS from the Share Sheet going out of Safari. I find articles from my library's search engine, view the PDF in Safari, and share out to bookends. As such, the...

Re: Observations on highlighting text
I've sent an email request to sales at pspdfkit dot com. It points to this posting and requests the ability to tap on the icon directly.
Thanks for the prompt response here.

Script: Capture DOI field on PDF and run AutoFill
I am often adding a PDF to Bookends where the PDF has the DOI link but Bookends does not capture it. I have created this script below to help. * Select the reference. * Open the PDF. * Select the DOI text field on the PDF. The text field must have one of these two "delimiters" - doi.org/ o...

Observations on highlighting text
I have a few observations on how we can highlight and work with highlighted text. When we select text, we get a scrollable set of menu options as below. <<< Copy | Text Highlight | PDF Note | Notecard | Quote | Copy Link | Underline | >>> When we click on the highlighted text, we get pop-up selectab...

Re: A new universal database (K10plus)
I don't agree with that analogy. I think the Library of Congress is universally recognized (and certainly by scholars) as an internationally valuable resource. Few outside of Germany have heard of GBV or GVK. Almost none of the filters' names start with the country of origin -- that was actually im...

Re: A new universal database (K10plus)
> I think Germany should be removed from the name because non-German users will never try it. I'd mention the origin of the consortium in the Notes, though. By analogy then, users outside the US will never try the Library of Congress site so we should rename that filter???? FWIW, I'd call the filter...
