Don't forget, in the next update dashes and periods in that SQL date part-search will not work, but slashes will work for everyone. You can still use whatever you want in the database date field, however.

Re: Scanning in Microsoft Word: keeping the cursor position and displaying the style choice window
There are a lot more options than just changing the format. Sorry, I don't see making relatively significant changes in the UI (adding complicating new UI elements) for such a trivial thing.

Re: Sync smart groups between Mac and iOS
That's been discussed in a number of threads, and the answer is no. Bookends for Mac and iOS use different database engines with very different capabilities (the macOS one is far more powerful). With Wi-Fi sync, smart Mac groups can be synced to iOS, but they become static groups on that device. We'...

Re: Scanning in Microsoft Word: keeping the cursor position and displaying the style choice window
It's conceivable that Bookends could keep the cursor location approximately where it was when the scan began, but likely not, since the text before it will often if not usually change as temp citations are removed and replaced with final citations. But since Bookends is doing the scan and replacemen...

Re: 'Added today' group remains empty
Have you tried a dash? 01-01-1904 ?
Assuming your system language isn't English, please try temporarily setting it to English. See if that helps.

Re: 'Added today' group remains empty
Because Bookends has been around long enough that some dates are saved in the old macOS epoch, which began in 1904, not 1970. At some point we will convert them. The solution for now will be to ignore locales and have the database recognize the slash (/) as the date part separator so that the same S...

Re: 'Added today' group remains empty
At some point that probably coincided with an OS upgrade the date parts delimiter varies with the system language setting. I've only had support requests about this from German users, so it may just apply to them. In any case, try using a - instead of a /. Like this dateAdded > datediff( now(), '01-...

Re: Possibly a bug when changing case of titles in standalone reference window
The standalone window is meant for entering and editing only, when it's in front most library-wide features are not available via the menus. Bring the library window to the front to use them. I don't see any problems using a right-click Change Case in a standalone reference field, nor with Global Ch...

Re: Highlight References the text turns white
The algorithm we use for handling text on a colored background has been the same since...well...since we added color labels. If they were always black you could use dark shades like brown or navy blue. And FYI, when I use the factory default green it's white text on my system, too. It's possible tha...

Re: Highlight References the text turns white
The text color is determined by an algorithm that chooses what is most readable when the background is colored. You have several options I can think of. 1. In Settings, make the green a bit darker. That will increase the contrast. 2. In Settings, tell Bookends to color just the first column. That's ...

Re: Switching from iCloud to OneDrive
As long as you're not syncing with Bookends for iOS OneDrive is just fine. It's even one of the options in Settings for the default sync folder. Since your PDFs are already there, change the default attachment folder to Microsoft OneDrive and your PDFs will appear. If they don't, double check the pa...

I can't reproduce this problem with my library, and the linked file in your post appears to have been deleted. Please compress the library (in the Finder) and attach it to an email to support@sonnysoftware.com.
