Another tool for writing PDF metadata is Exiftool http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ . On the DevonThink forum there is a thread http://forum.devontechnologies.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=21225 on changing the title of a PDF using Exiftool. The script could be manipulated to change the a...

Hi @KirtWilson, below is an updated script that will place the Citation in the heading of each note and give you the option of exporting the note as either Markdown or OPML. It is a bit of a hack but seems to work. I found it difficult to get the citation at the end of each note so gave up and ended...

Here is an Applescript that will export the note cards for a selected record in Bookends. It will format the note cards in Markdown as in the screenshot below and will open a dialogue box to name and save the notes to a destination: http://eggleton.co.nz.public.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Booken...

Thanks Nils for this. I have updated the script on the Alfred forum to allow searching for diacritic characters and changed the script behaviour to an automatic delay after last character typed.

Thanks for that Nils. I will update my Alfred script with your changes

As suggested by Jon I am posting my Bookends Alfred cite-as-you-write workflow here. The workflow can be downloaded at: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/8817-bookends-search-and-citations/ The overview of the workflow is: http://eggleton.co.nz.public.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Alfred%20bookends...

I don't know how this would translate to Launchbar but I have attached the underlying code and workflow below. The overview of the workflow is: http://eggleton.co.nz.public.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Alfred%20bookends%20workflow.png The first step is a script filter that sends stdout to some ba...

Does anyone know whether it could be made into a Launchbar action? The workflow that I created has a different structure to a Launchbar action. The basic code languages used are Applescript and Bash, which Launchbar could also use. Someone would have to re-write the code for Launchbar (which I don'...

I have created an Alfred workflow that does what the OP wanted. It does not rely on BibTex, although exporting a BibTex file would be required if using Pandoc. The workflow will search the Bookends library for an author name (1st or subsequent authors) and then paste either a Bookends citation, a Mu...

I have created a cite-as-you-write Alfred workflow that may interest some people. The link to the Alfred workflow is here http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/8817-bookends-search-and-citations/ The workflow enables you to search Bookends, for an author, with a keyboard shortcut and then paste a Bookend...

I thought that I would post a script here, that I use for quickly creating a BibTex bibliography, for anyone else who might find it useful. My workflow is that I am writing using Pandoc and pandoc-citeproc, both on my Mac and on iOS using Editorial. A number of other people have posted on how they u...

Thanks Jon, that will do the trick

I was wondering if there is any way of getting the reference type via Applescript e.g. Journal, Book Chapter etc. It appears that reference type is stored as «class RIST» but I don't seem to be able to access it.
