Re: Access-Control Failure
It seems they updated the site in August 2023 and the settings in the import filter need to be changed. https://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/collections-and-resources/solo/z39-50 l'll do that for the next release. You can do that yourself in the Internet tab of the filter (open the Import Filter Manager an...

Re: Mismatch example vs. scan
Without the format and reference to examine here I can't say why the editor's names aren't separated properly in the output, but I can tell you that settings for this are in the format's Name Punctuation tab. Authors and editors can be treated identically or individually. If you open the format in t...

Re: ORCID not recognized
Having a valid ORCID is the first requirement but not the last. It also has to be recognized by OpenAlex, which I understand doesn't plumb ORCID.org but uses CrossRef (and perhaps other sources). Crossref doesn't recognize that ORCID ID, either. You can see that for yourself here https://www.crossre...

Re: Is there a way to force an iCloud update?
There is a Sync Now option in the icloud icon popup menu.
But I don't think that will help. You could hold down the Option key when you click the icon and Force Full Sync Now.

Re: Selector in Preferences for Default epub Viewer?
Each of the "open PDF" options has been hardcoded with the bundle ids of the associated app. But actually, your idea about offering a right-click option that had an Open with a hierarchical menu generated on-the-fly isn't a bad idea. I'll have to look into what APIs might be used to get th...

Re: Selector in Preferences for Default epub Viewer?
It is. But these aren't PDFs. They are epubs and the display for file types that Bookends can't render is quite different.

Re: Selector in Preferences for Default epub Viewer?
We already let users use a right-click to open any type of unrecognized file type in its default app, which is universally useful. What you're asking for is (1) only useful if you want to use more than one app to open the same file type (2) only useful for epubs. As I've mentioned, making a change i...

Re: Dragging Articles to Bookends, no author name appears
That's an issue with JSTOR, which frankly is difficult to work with. I last revisited this about 3 months ago, and will periodically. If they improve access to their metadata maybe at some point there will be a viable solution. It's hardly a great solution, but if you go the reference on JSTOR in yo...

Re: Selector in Preferences for Default epub Viewer?
I don't know how much demand there is for something like this. I doubt there are many attaching ebooks, and among those even fewer who want to use different readers for different ebooks (that are attached in Bookends). The threshold is high for added yet another preference setting, there are already...

Re: BE wants to created two entries from one citation in Mellel when scanning
Try a proofreading scan (see User Guide for how that works). I think that will do it.

P.S. The separator will be set to a comma if you enable BibTex and tell Bookends to use citekeys. There is a warning when this happens.

Re: BE wants to created two entries from one citation in Mellel when scanning
Did you by any chance change the citation separator from a semicolon to a comma in Bookends preferences?

Re: Can I replace the AUTHORS displayed in the PDF TAB with a different label?
That's not possible. You may not know, however, that when you hover the pointer over the tab, Bookends will display the name of the PDF as a tooltip. So if the PDFs have rational names (e.g. include metadata such as author, date, and part of title) you can see more identifying information you want. ...

Re: Bookends not visible on iCloud?
iCloud Drive in the Finder looks like a typical desktop item with folders, files, etc., but it's not. If you look a the path to the iCloud Drive Bookends folder in Bookends Settings you'll see right away that it doesn't behave by the usual rules. So all I can say is what I said before -- what you se...

Re: Bookends not visible on iCloud?
Very few users have this issue (we can't reproduce it ourselves). But we are cognizant that some users encounter it, and if we can figure out why (and it's not a a bug in iCloud) we will fix it for those that do.

Re: Bookends not visible on iCloud?
That folder should be visible (in the Bookends blessed folder -- the one with the icon on it). We've had a few reports that this was not the case, however. We've tried to track down the problem, but never did. Since this is all handled by Apple, not us, it's a black box. But in those cases the PDFs ...
