Re: Bookends 14.1.7: Citekeys
I'm not sure why this thread is being revisited. Bookends already excludes accents when it generates citekeys. AFAICT the "opt in" comment refers to generating file names for attachments, in which case the default is to use Unicode. The only reason ASCII-only option was added later is that...

Re: Creation of a bibliography not at the end of the document
It could be done but would be unreliable in Word due to the way extraneous information can be inserted into text, internally. It also wouldn't work with all word processors. The current mechanism is infallible and works with all word processors (Mellel handles it in its own way).

Re: Creation of a bibliography not at the end of the document
Yes. Cut and paste it where you want. When you rescan, Bookends will insert the bibliography where you moved it. Note that if you unscan, the marker indicating the bibliography's location will be removed, and after a subsequent scan it will be placed at the end once again.

Re: EndNote XML Import and absolute vs. relative paths
Bookends doesn't use path names, it stores the folders containing the PDFs and then searches those when the PDF is needed. When you import the XML file Bookends will add the path of the folder (a so-called ad hoc folder, which you can see in Settings). If the PDF-containing folder isn't on the HD, t...

Re: Bookends can't find attachment - but it exists with a slightly different filename. Automatic fix?
Thank you very much for posting this. I'm sure others will benefit from it, too. I wonder if you'd be willing to post this to the AppleScript section of the forum? That's where people looking for such solutions would naturally go, and since there is less traffic it won't be lost among many other thr...

Re: No Journal Glossary update for BibTex files
In addition to what I told you, only references that were modified since the last "sync" are updated. Changing the glossary doesn't modify any references. You'd have to remove the old .bib file and recreate it.

Re: No Journal Glossary update for BibTex files
If you edit an entry in the journal glossary but not in the reference itself, Bookends may see them as matching anymore. The glossary can be used when entering journal names manually (an abbreviation defined by you is expanded to the short or full journal name). But it's main use is for formatting. ...

Re: Registering .bib for import with Bookends
What's odd is that Bookends is picked in the Finder's Open With menu for me. I've modified the UTI a bit now, we can follow up off-forum to see if this does the trick for you.

Re: Find all Notecard Tags?
You can search for notecard tags. But there is no central list of what you entered, they are freeform text. Having said that, it should be possible to script this. Basically, search each reference's Notes field and make a list of words that begin with #.

Re: Bookends can't find attachment - but it exists with a slightly different filename. Automatic fix?
I don't know what hybrid approach you have come up with, but you can run Python in an AppleScript using the osascript command. I expect you are aware of this, but if not (and for others reading this) googling for this yields a lot of information. You can also do this via Automator, I believe. Do you...

Re: Registering .bib for import with Bookends
Yes, Bookends registers .bib as a file type it can open. Actually, if I right-click on a .bib file in the Finder and select Open With, Bookends is listed in the hierarchical menu. I'm guessing the problem is with Launch Services, which is the API that associates apps with files. Here's a recent arti...

Re: Bookends can't find attachment - but it exists with a slightly different filename. Automatic fix?
Bookends already has the option to remove (detach) the names of orphaned attachments from the database. This is in Refs -> Global Change. As for getting the names of attachments, you can do that via an AppleScript. You can also create a format that outputs attachments names, if you want something yo...

Re: Bookends can't find attachment - but it exists with a slightly different filename. Automatic fix?
The file name is the "unique id", so if it's off by even a space Bookends won't match it (anymore than a bank will match your credit card number if it's off by a single digit). There is, however, one possibility that might help. Make a COPY of your library (as backup) and try Refs -> Get P...
