Sorry to hear this. Thank you for the update. I am still troubleshooting the issue. My best guess is that our campus routers are blocking (blacklisting or not whitelisting) the protocol required for WiFi sync.

Here is a more compact version. use AppleScript version "2.4" -- Yosemite (10.10) or later use scripting additions on run set theReturns to {} -- included for debugging only tell application "Bookends" to tell the front library window set pubList to every publication item repeat ...

I am stuck with my university WiFi network not syncing between Bookends iPadOS and Bookends macOS. I will try to sort out internally what protocol is missing or caught by the university routers. In the meantime, I might ask whether the two apps could support a "hard wire" method to synchro...

> Please send me one PDF where Bookends can't find the DOI in the text. My fault. The articles I have to parse were sent to Bookends using iPadOS from the Share Sheet going out of Safari. I find articles from my library's search engine, view the PDF in Safari, and share out to bookends. As such, the...

I've sent an email request to sales at pspdfkit dot com. It points to this posting and requests the ability to tap on the icon directly.

Thanks for the prompt response here.

I am often adding a PDF to Bookends where the PDF has the DOI link but Bookends does not capture it. I have created this script below to help. * Select the reference. * Open the PDF. * Select the DOI text field on the PDF. The text field must have one of these two "delimiters" - doi.org/ o...

I have a few observations on how we can highlight and work with highlighted text. When we select text, we get a scrollable set of menu options as below. <<< Copy | Text Highlight | PDF Note | Notecard | Quote | Copy Link | Underline | >>> When we click on the highlighted text, we get pop-up selectab...

> This is a bit off-topic, but have you tried Dimensions.ai? > https://app.dimensions.ai/discover/publication Interesting. Thanks. I've got a research project on my project board that requires background literature searching. I might compare the sight with my more common sources (e.g. Science Direct...

I don't agree with that analogy. I think the Library of Congress is universally recognized (and certainly by scholars) as an internationally valuable resource. Few outside of Germany have heard of GBV or GVK. Almost none of the filters' names start with the country of origin -- that was actually im...

> I think Germany should be removed from the name because non-German users will never try it. I'd mention the origin of the consortium in the Notes, though. By analogy then, users outside the US will never try the Library of Congress site so we should rename that filter???? FWIW, I'd call the filter...

Here is a first draft. use AppleScript version "2.4" -- Yosemite (10.10) or later use scripting additions (* Save CiteKey Markdown v 2023-09-21 exports notes and PDF attachments from selected publication item sets the export name to the cite key *) on run tell application "Bookends&qu...

@atimm: I might presume as Jon mentions that you are saving one reference at a time. If so, what I see being possible is this ... * Preconfigure the Extract Notes and PDF Annotations menu option with all the parameters that you want to have as the default using Selection as the option. * Use AppleSc...

If you are at all proficient enough to install and use AppleScripts with Bookends, you might be interested in my script at the link below. https://www.sonnysoftware.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=5566 The script generates a CSV report about the status of the library. It also can be set to label referenc...

I've never considered corruption via ZIP as an issue. One distinction that says even more so to make a ZIP archive is that a library does not contain the attachments. The argument from this insight might be that, before you decide to test something on a library, you should combine both the library a...

@vinschger ... When I am to do something that I should do on a "copy" of a file, I prefer to put the source file into a ZIP archive rather than making a copy of the file. I too easily loose track of why I have a "copy", for example MyLibrary copy.bdb versus MyLibrary.zip. I also ...
