Re: Reference links in a synced BibTex file?
If you want to export a link to the reference in the Bookends database to Obsidian, that is easily done. Markdown hypertext links look like this: [human-readable text](URI) To achieve this in Bookends, go to the Format Manager and edit the format you are using. If it''s BibTeX, you'd add a line that...

Re: Reference links in a synced BibTex file?
Would explain a bit more? Exactly what do these reference links look like, and what is the workflow for generating them?

Re: Only year or full year? That is here the question…
You could achieve this by entering the year in a user field and specifying that in the Subsequent order field.

Re: Odd behavior with circumflex accent and subsequent citation
Without stepping through the code, my guess is that since you've moved the author out of the formatted citation Bookends treats it as a missing field. Since it's missing, the space before the data isn't output. There are at least two solutions I can think of. 1. Don't use the caret, it's really a co...

Re: Field codes to plain text after scan in word document?
You can scan again, and in the dialog uncheck "Retain Hidden Citations". Alternatively, you can do this in Word directly. I've never done it myself, but if you google there are lots of hits. Here's one I found: Command-A (select all the text in the doc). Command-6 (changes all the field co...

Re: Subsequent Citations question
No, there isn't any kind of statistical breakdown of the scan. After a scan every reference cited will be a Hit, which may help a bit in telling you which references to check in the document. What you might do as a workaround is to make a duplication of that format and, in the "subsequent"...

Re: Subsequent Citations question
You're right, you can't. You can conditionally alter the appearance of a citation depending on the presence or absence of a field's metadata, but not on conditions that arise when scanning such as this. The only way I can think of doing this is to have a short title entry only for references you are...

Re: Font size for what you see on the screen
Those settings are on the Main tab of Settings -- Default fonts. In addition, the formatted view pane and the PDF viewer have zoom in and zoom out capabilities.

Re: Fraudulent Bookends ratings on MacUpdate
No, I have no idea who they are (bots?) or why they do this. But when I look I see their fingerprints on lots of apps that are totally unrelated (utilities, screen recorders, etc.). There is no pattern I'm aware of. I can't think of who might benefit from such a relatively minor (but very annoying) ...

Fraudulent Bookends ratings on MacUpdate
I check in with MacUpdate from time to time to see if there is new Bookends feedback. Although there isn't much activity, in the last month I've noticed a slow erosion of the star rating, which was due to a steady drip of 1 star ratings (not reviews, which require user comments), beginning September...

Yes. Select the references you want to refresh and use Refs -> Generate Citekey (Shift-Command K).

Re: 'Added today' group remains empty
This thread deals only with searches for dates established programmatically (e.g. date added and date modified). If you mean dates imported or entered manually in the Date field, they are free-form.
