Hi, I have noticed lately that every time I try to do a search in the 'quick search' field (opt-cmd F), the cursor jumps out of the field after I have started typing my query. When I then click in the field to continue my search, every time I write a single letter, the cursor will once again move fo...

Hi, I need to be able to search for a lot of genes in my BE database and many of these genes contain '-' (e.g. NF-kB, c-Rel). The problem is that when I try to search for these, BE appears to ignore the '-' character and inserts a space instead. For example if I try to search for 'c-Rel' I get resul...

I would luuuuuve to have a fully integrated Bookends on the iPad - in fact, this may convince me that I need to buy one in the first place. Basically what I would be looking for would be a great way to read and organise my papers, rather than to have all the other powerful features of Bookends that ...

Ah, I see - I guess as a 'true scientist' I like making things complicated

I just started getting failed launches as well, but was not very keen to delete my preference files. I found that changing the following worked (I guess this disabled Sparkle??). In ~/Library/Preferences find: com.sonnysoftware.bookends.plist and open it with e.g. Pref Setter, or any other plist edi...

For some odd reason 2, 3 and 4 went away after a restart of my computer.... Nooooo idea why. If it comes back, I will contact you via support. As for 1, this still persists - even in new databases. I am thinking the problem could lie with the fact that I use Path Finder instead of the Finder? When i...

Hi, I found a things not working in the new version (10.5.3) on my computer: 1. When deleting a reference selecting 'move attachment to the trash' doesn't do anything - the attached pdfs still remain on the hard drive (which is a different partition than the one BE is one (although same physical dri...

Hi All, Jon suggested that I post this request to the forum: Just another of my feature suggestions - I was wondering whether you could incorporate a 'widescreen' view for attachments (and maybe refs, etc) in BE? I have been using DevonThink Pro the last couple of weeks and they have included this v...

Awesome! Thanks ever so much.....!

People in the lab just asked me if they could have a copy of all my papers on Lassa fever... Since I have everything in BE I could easily find all the correct references, but I had no way of sending/saving the attached .pdf files and give to them. Is it in any way possible to do this, or could you p...

I thought it would be nice if I could see the whole first page of the article - mostly because most journals would write the date of publication in the bottom of the first page. So it would be nice if the window could be resized downwards - the width of the window is just fine. I have emailed you wi...

That's great thanks Jon - I'll try it out and see how it goes!

I'll be the one doing the scanning and unscanning though - as little EndNote action as possible!

Strike one ;). Yes, I think I have been using the 'match' function the wrong way - it is indeed very similar to the one seen in Papers. One thing though - would it be possible to resize the 'autocomplete' window so one could see more of the article at the same time? Also, I seem to have a bug - I so...

Hi, I am now working in a very collaborative environment with people using PeeCees (poor sods), but even worse - EndNote (oh dear!). Is there anyway that I can keep using Bookends when writing manuscripts together with these people, with them using EndNote? I would hate to lose my Mellel/Bookends co...

Hi All, Just moved university and people suggested me to have a look at 'Papers' - they said it had improved a lot since it came out..... Oh well, I thought I would give it a try and compare it to my good old trustworthy and fully featured Bookends! Suffice to say, 'Papers' was quickly uninstalled a...
