Re: Cloud syncing?
I'll chime in here and say that I really would like to see cloud syncing baked into the desktop and iOS applications as soon as possible as well. I too am already using dropbox to hold my database and attachment folder, and hate the idea of a wifi sync for working with Bookends on tap. I understand ...

Re: Feature request-removing duplicates
Thanks Jon, Of the 20 references from the imported file that indicate an attachment, only 3 of them appear to point to the attachment correctly sitting in my Bookends attachment folder. I don't quite follow your last sentence about putting the attachment in the default attachments folder. How can I ...

Re: Feature request-removing duplicates
Sorry, I may have misspoke in my post above. I was just working with a colleagues .xml file that was generated by Mendeley. Unfortunately, the paper clip icon is shown with many of the refs in the BE library, however, there is no attachment for many of these refs. I've probably created bigger proble...

Feature request-removing duplicates
The finding/removing duplicates feature has a lot of flexibility in how one finds and removes duplicates, but it is not very streamlined for efficient and quick use. A situation that often arises for me is I need to merge a colleague's .xml file with my BE library while I am working on a manuscript ...

Re: Feature Requests
Hello, I was wondering if you could comment on the possibility of future integration with any services like Dropbox. I've found that keeping my attachments and primary BE database on dropbox to be the best way to work across different Macs in different locations, and it would be a godsend to have th...

Thanks Jon!
I pulled that from p. 51 of the userguide.

How to clear all hits in the hits list?
I've tried both methods listed in the userguide (below) and neither one works for me. Any one know how to do it in the latest version of BookEnds? I've just formatted a manuscript and have a boat-load of references in my hits list that I need to remove since if I try to create a new static group, al...

no more Preview annotation for attachments in dropbox
This is not really a problem with BE per se, but I thought I would post here since I know a lot of folks here rely on dropbox for holding their attachments. I noticed today that if I open a pdf file in Preview that is sitting in my BE attachments folder that is sitting in dropbox, Preview will no lo...

Get PDF from internet function broken with xml imports
In an effort to consolidate all of my literature databases and get rid of the piles of printed paper in my office, I just imported several thousand references from a file exported from Endnote as an xml file, and I've noticed that the option to Get PDF>From Internet (If Available) is greyed out. Any...

How to edit field labels for custom reference type
I'm posting this to the forum since I'm sure others are having (had) trouble figuring this out. This is one of those things that should be very intuitive in BE or at least easy to find in the manual, but to me neither is the case. I want to create a custom reference type by either editing a pre-exis...

Re: merge databases AND attached PDF files
This is a follow up to this topic that I posted a while ago. I finally merged two databases from two different Macs, and as expected, there are some refs in the merged database that are missing their attachments that are sitting on the other Mac. Is there a way to quickly search the database to find...

need help w/moving PDF from BE browser buggyness
Anyone else having this issue: I've got the Adobe PDF plugin that gives BE headaches turned off. I open the BE browser and go to a boomarked journal website and select a PDF file which opens for viewing fine. I right click on the hatched square at the upper right side of the BE browser window and se...

Attachment problems & dropbox; dropbox advice
On my desktop Mac, I moved several attachments into my BE db by selecting the Get PDF function -> Find and Attach local PDF. I then moved my BE folder over to dropbox. Now, when I open my BE db from my dropbox folder on my MacBook, BE cannot locate any of these attachments. Other older attachments s...

merge databases AND attached PDF files
I've found several discussion that cover merging two BE databases (e.g. https://www.sonnysoftware.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1998&p=9066&hilit=merge+databases#p9066), but I'm left wondering how I get all of my attached PDF files back into one folder. It is really as simple as copying...
