Cool thx

Hi,

Is there a way to automatically include the journal abbreviation in a format field, e.g. to add a shortbook or shortjournal field to a BibTeX export?

Thank you!

Cool, that fixed it. (Though is that something I'll have to do regularly in Bookends?)

Ah ok, so how can I tell which of the three options is in use?

Hi, I've just tried this in Applescript: tell application "Bookends" tell front library window set theRefs to selected publication items as a way to obtain the currently selected publication items. theRefs ends up being a list with the same number of items as I have currently selected in t...

The popup menu reverts to the first item, but whatever you edited for Editors should still be there. Use the popup menu to view the Editor settings again -- did it remember whatever you entered? If so, you're done. Actually this doesn't seem to persist after all. I can send screenshots, and I'm sur...

OK that's quite cool! All working…

In other apps it only seems to happen if the content of the field is actually scrollable. In Bookends, it happens even if only a single line of text is in a multiline text box. Is that normal? Maybe I just haven't encountered that UI in other apps - e.g. in Pages all the text boxes in the right pane...

A little frustration with the right pane: if the cursor is above a field, two-finger scrolling on the touchpad scrolls the field, rather than the pane. This occurs even if the field does not have any further content to display. As a result, one has to find a blank (i.e. non-field) part of the right ...

Hi, If I use the Online search window, and enter "frame common cultural heritage" as the query with Oxford U.fltr selected, I get the following result: MARC Record 00982cam 2200265 a 4500 001 019175094 003 UkOxU 005 20120313102208.0 008 110822s2011 mdua r 010 0 eng 010 $a 2011034292 020 $a...

Next little challenge: I've got a fair number of documents with with references to citation keys generated by the BibTeX export from Zotero. These don't appear in an RIS Zotero export. Any suggestions on how to import with citekeys intact? I can e.g. just retain a copy of the Zotero .bib file and us...

ah ok, my error - yep that's working fine

1. In preferences you can tell Bookends to use a format to rename PDFs. Thus, define a format that outputs what you want: a d t. And set it to output just the first author, surname only of that's what you want. Almost there on this one, I think. The only little wrinkle is that if I tick "Use (...

Is there an export scripting interface? Or do people just tend to postprocess with a script (in whatever language)?
