Re: BE 12.8.1. – Installed as PowerPC-Version?

Even stranger, this has done the trick. For whatever reason, replacing the app did not work. So I have trashed the not-working copy and copied the brand-new one into the app-folder. Now everything is fine again!
Thanks!

BE 12.8.1. – Installed as PowerPC-Version?

Strangely, the latest version of 12.8.1 (obviously generated on 15/05, 23:49) seems to be installed as PowerPC-compatible. At least the symbol in the applications-folder is stroken through and trying to open it yields a message "Sie können das Programm „Bookends.app“ nicht öffnen, da PowerPC-Pr...

Re: Just bought BE for ios: I don’t know what to do with it

The Wifi sync seems the only option left for me. I was able to connect the BE mac and BOT at home. Since I have slower network, it was not able to finish syncing the attachements after 3 hours of syncing. so, I took my devises to my work (university) in the morning to use the faster Wifi. BE couldn...

Re: New Reference Type: Preprint?

I agree. Such references are getting more common every day also in my field of research. Of course, it would be beautiful if BE reminded me somehow to turn the Preprint-reference into a full-grown reference as soon as the paper is finally published.

Cheers,

Nils

Re: Cite-as-you-write - diacritic signs

After some trouble-shooting, I found the solution for the problem with the diacritic signs ("Umlaute"). set query to argv as text has to be replaced with set query to (do shell script "echo " & argv & " | iconv -s -f UTF-8-Mac -t UTF-8") as Unicode text This wor...

Re: Cite-as-you-write

Generally, it works as advertised. Unfortunately, it takes very long to load all the references of my research library (+13500), which at first made me think it does not work at all. Very reluctantly, I have to admit that in the present form it is not usable for me. Nils I found a very simple solut...

Feature request: Replicate as Edited Book

The feature "Replicate as Book Chapter" is for me one of the most useful of BE as edited books are very common in my area of research. However, I often find that I have already entered a book chapter, but now also have to cite the book as a whole. For such a case, it would be useful to hav...

Very useful, thank you very much! However, I do not know why but the script "Live Search Formatted/Unformatted Ref" does not work for me. To make it work, I had to specify the programm first: tell application "Scrivener" activate end tell This is not a dealbreaker for me, but it ...

Re: Bookends and workflow

It is a pity that my points are not addressed, merely negated. I was hoping for a constructive discussion on how Bookends could be the centre of a contents management system, not have the whole thing end up in a plaidoyer for a particular product. Anyone else have thoughts on this matter? I disagre...

Re: Compare references

You can't have editing of references in two different windows simultaneously, that's really a terrible idea (think about all the problems there would be if the same reference was open in both windows). As for the other requests, I'll that about that. Actually, I was thinking about getting rid of Co...

Request: Show References in Folders

Currently (BE 12.5.8), there are no references shown if a folder is selected in the sidebar. I might be wrong, but I think this was different in past editions. Anyway, in my opinion this would be useful (e. g. to combine the hits of two or more smart groups).

Cheers,

Feature request: Adding citation before each entry in bibliography

Taking up a suggestion by Jon, I would like to know if the following request would be useful to more users than just me. The citation guidelines in my area of research prescribe that in the bibliography each entry has to start with the citation used in the text including footnotes. Thus, the text co...
