Re: A couple of refinements to the various Copy options
That was actually the thing I most wanted and my motivation for starting the thread. Tony Higgins seconded my suggestion. But I've no idea how many others also are interested. The benefits of the new options beyond what I originally imagined are great, and it won't kill us to use two operations when...

Re: Term Lists
Thanks for the detailed explanation and for adding the new option. Sorry I keep missing obvious things. I hope at least mentioning them in the forum will help others searching on similar topics.
Number 5 sounds intriguing and fertile ground for guessing games!

Re: Term Lists
One extra thing that I forgot to mention: I've only just realized that we can reorder keywords by frequency of use. Is that a new feature, or is it something that we've had all along but I just never noticed?

Re: A couple of refinements to the various Copy options
If you selected multiple notecards, Bookends could collect each note and cobble them together, along with one citation and one hypertext link. It could not create a separate notecard + citation + link for each notecard. So you'd get notecard1 notecard2 notecard3 {Jones, 2008, The theory of everythi...

Term Lists
I really like the enhancements to term lists. Here are a few thoughts and suggestions: The keyword filter works great. Likewise the adjustable column widths. Feedback on the Boolean search being performed is most welcome. I'm thinking it might be better to have feedback of that sort from the first p...

Bookends 10.6
I haven't had chance to try out 10.6 yet, though the list of changes looks impressive. One error, I think, in the release notes:
APA 16th >> APA 6th

Re: New Bookends videos
Nice videos! I'd actually forgotten all about the email reference command, and it was nice to be reminded in 2 separate videos. I think these user-generated videos are a great idea; keep 'em coming!

Re: Import options
I could add options for copying selected text to the reference itself (e.g. to authors, to title, etc.). Then when you closed the sheet the reference window wouldn't open with the empty reference. If there were multiple authors you'd have to copy one at a time (so Bookends wouldn't string them all ...

Re: Keywords revisited: tag clouds? better keyword browsing?
For anyone puzzled by the very long post with which I started this thread, or doubtful whether they would want to "drill down" through their keywords to explore their references… Today I heard that Yojimbo had been updated and I think its implementation is a pretty good example of the appr...

Re: A couple of refinements to the various Copy options
On variable note sizes I waive the white flag Actually, I've only just realised why this might be quite important to some people. (Apologies for missing the point earlier.) While I still think that allowing the notecards to grow too big is a bad idea, for reasons mentioned earlier in the thread, if...

Re: A couple of refinements to the various Copy options
I have been remiss about making more tutorials -- too busy adding the features you are asking for! Yes, I'm all too aware that asking for features isn't helping you get the tutorials out. I would suggest that the topic not be restricted to word-processors, rather the general point about working wit...

Re: Keywords revisited: tag clouds? better keyword browsing?
Since menu organization is being discussed elsewhere, I'd like to reopen the debate about the right place for keyword management. When I said something to the same effect in an earlier discussion, I was asked for concrete suggestions and was unable to give any. I'm afraid that's still pretty much th...
