This approach makes sense in leu of adding the option to set the backup folder in preferences. If you don't add the option via preferences in Bookends, you might note this alternative approach in the User Manual. Regarding an external server ... I imagine that using an external server folder that ma...

I appreciate the automatic backups option. I would also appreciate an option to set the location for the automatic backups. I am trying to manage where backup files are stored in reference both to having limited storage space and to limiting Time Machine storage. I would also like a more transparent...

Thank you. The clarification helps. I did have the Optimize Mac Storage toggle turned on.

As a follow up, here are some other insights, at the risk of repeating some things already said. * When you use WiFi sync, the attachments on the iPad are stored locally on the iPad, and they are stored in the default Attachments folder for Bookends. While you can move the attachments manually to su...

Makes sense. I am glad that shared group libraries would be considered for the reasons I noted, and I appreciate better that this step needs to wait until the basic system works. Thanks.

> for me it's not clear why sync between bookends and zotero would be desirable. The ability to integrate Bookends iPadOS with Zotero will be a great advantage to facilitate collaborations with team members who do not use macOS. Take my case as an example. I have currently have set up over a half do...

My main interest is to annotate PDFs on my iPad while off-line from the internet. When I do this, I want to keep the annotated PDFs in (tight) sync between the iPadOS and macOS versions of Bookends. I also want to have a consistent way to make routine, snap-shot backups of all PDFs associated with a...

OK. I tested the iCloud approach two ways with annotations on a PDF. First, I kludged around with between macOS and iPadOS by setting up the share folder on iPadOS first and then syncing/sharing. I discovered that, with this approach, the PDFs did not always sync to macOS. I had two attachment folde...

I am using both macOS and iPadOS. I am struggling to understand the two different sync methods, iCloud and WiFi. For example, suppose that I have a macOS library named Test. I want to sync it with an iPadOS library also named Test. I store all attachments on macOS in Attachments/TestFiles WiFi sync ...

As a follow up, I have settled on an approach to share PDFs for bibliographies. I only share with folks who are working on a collaborative project with me, I only share with folks who are at my institution, I only share files that can also be obtained using library search services at my institution,...

Exceptional update to handle label colors and more. Thank you!

Fair enough. However, it will be beneficial in this case to clarify the difference between the macOS and iPadOS sorting behaviors in their respective manuals. Users who want a consistent behavior between the two versions when they sort on labels should be warned to set label names in the macOS versi...

I mean the sorting for the list view ...

... on macOS
... on iPadOS

In Bookends macOS, we sort on labels by their alphabetical name. In Bookends iPadOS, we sort on labels by their order in the color list. As such, to avoid differences on the two devices in the order of list items when viewing by sorted labels, one should use alphabetically ordered names in the label...

I have a few findings and commensurate requests. * For highlight annotations, the color selection bar lists names for colors. Could this instead show the colors as with other color selection tools? * When we select a color label for an attachment, the color selection bar appears in the center of the...
