Re: A couple of refinements to the various Copy options
I haven't thought it through fully, but like Jon I can't see a downside. Well, the small downside is that most people won't be aware of the options, and the fact that they might actually "need" some of them but aren't aware of that need. I think this is another of those cases where you rea...

Re: Keywords revisited: tag clouds? better keyword browsing?
Thanks for responding to this. The "pinning" approach sounds interesting; I'll look forward to seeing it.

Re: A couple of refinements to the various Copy options
Generally, I make notes related to specific pages and the page reference is contained within the note. But I can see that the new proposed option would give us much greater flexibility. It sounds good to me.

Re: A couple of refinements to the various Copy options
I'm already a wee bit confused, even though I started off this discussion: am I right in thinking that this latest is an additional option rather than replacing one of the existing ones? What would be the complete list of Copy Citation-type commands and their keyboard equivalents?

Re: Keywords revisited: tag clouds? better keyword browsing?
For some interesting ideas on how data visualization can help with finding and managing references, take a look at PaperCube. Amazing!

Re: A couple of refinements to the various Copy options
The notecards feature is simple and very useful. I wonder what other users and Jon think of these ideas: 1) Variable notecard sizes. Interesting. Let's imagine we're back in time at a point just before notecards were introduced. Jon says "Do you want fixed size or variable size?" How woul...

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...

A couple of refinements to the various Copy options
With 10.5.6, Bookends has realised one of the holy grails of inter-application communication. By selecting a notecard and pressing Command-Option-Shift-L, then switching to DevonThink, Scrivener, Mellel, Nisus, or whatever, and pasting, we obtain the notecard text with a clickable link back to the B...

Re: Terms Lists: Keywords
Just a quick note to anyone monitoring this thread: I've created a new one that revisits this issue with some more specific (but perhaps rather fanciful) ideas:

Keywords revisited: tag clouds? better keyword browsing?
I’d like to reopen the discussion on the keywords term list. An earlier discussion https://www.sonnysoftware.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2264&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=term+lists&start=0 was interesting, but I and other users failed to generate any ideas specific enough to give...
Re: APA 6th
Jon,
Are there plans to include APA 6th formatting in a forthcoming version of Bookends?

10.5.6
Thanks for the update, which makes integration with CiteULike much more useful.
APA 6th
I've just bought a copy of the 6th edition of the APA style guide, and found that the format for journal articles has changed in a couple of respects: No need for retrieval date for downloaded articles When possible, you should list the DOI of an article I consider these changes progress, though I g...

Re: Links to Devonthink notes (again)
To answer my own question (easily findable on another thread), you select the item in DevonThink and choose Copy Item Link from the Edit menu, and paste into any(?) Bookends field.

Re: Links to Devonthink notes (again)
Sorry to go back to basics, but how do you create those "x-devonthink-item:" links?
