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...

You have to open the Formats Manager and enable it.

Yes, and I replied. If you didn't see that, please check your junk folder.

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.

Re: A dot at the end of a title leads to double dots in the bibliography

Bookends should replace .. with ., as long as they are in the citation and not typed by you in the body of the text. What do you see in the formatted view display pane at the bottom of the library window?

Re: Superb improvement of Journal Glossary

That kind of open ended request isn't very useful. If you have no workflow in mind I have no idea what kind of solution would be appropriate or feasible. Since you can open the glossary in any text editor or spreadsheet and edit it there, there are many ways you can add or edit entries in bulk, it d...

Re: A dot at the end of a title leads to double dots in the bibliography

Where is the second period coming from? If it's in the body of the text (i.e. outside of the citation) Bookends doesn't know it's there. In any case, you can edit the format so that the title isn't terminated with a period.

Import from where? From another glossary? Or a third party source?

Re: Word 16 is saying Bookends Plugin not compatible

I have Word 16.83 and don't have a problem with Bookends.

The error message you post says that the EndNote CWYW plugin isn't compatible. You're on the wrong forum. :shock:

Re: Some questions on using Bookends for syncing in a potentially unique case

I want to trust that I know where the "truest" copy of a given attachment resides, and that the one "truest" copy is in a local location that I can access transparently through the Finder _sans_ going through the intermediary of iCloud But that was my point. Your iCloud Drive fo...

Re: Some questions on using Bookends for syncing in a potentially unique case

If I understand your summary of how cloud sync works, it's incorrect. When you use a file sync server (iCloud, DropBox, whatever) there are multiple copies of your PDFs that exist in multiple places. In your example, there is a copy in your iCloud Drive folder that is local (usually) -- and you can ...

Re: Clarification on syncing behavior

The sync frequency referred to in the User Guide references to metadata (e.g. authors, title, etc.). Bookends doesn't sync PDFs, that's handled by whatever file sync service you use (Dropbox, iCloud Drive, etc.), and Bookends has no influence over when that occurs.

Re: Final sigma.

Terminate the title with a comma and it will be output as entered. That will take care of the capitalization. As far as the terminal sigma, you'll have to try this and see if your ς is left alone. As an aside, I don't know if you also have Mellel, but if you do its integration with Bookends is excel...
