Re: Bookends can't find attachment - but it exists with a slightly different filename. Automatic fix?
Thank you very much for posting this. I'm sure others will benefit from it, too. I wonder if you'd be willing to post this to the AppleScript section of the forum? That's where people looking for such solutions would naturally go, and since there is less traffic it won't be lost among many other thr...

Re: No Journal Glossary update for BibTex files
In addition to what I told you, only references that were modified since the last "sync" are updated. Changing the glossary doesn't modify any references. You'd have to remove the old .bib file and recreate it.

Re: No Journal Glossary update for BibTex files
If you edit an entry in the journal glossary but not in the reference itself, Bookends may see them as matching anymore. The glossary can be used when entering journal names manually (an abbreviation defined by you is expanded to the short or full journal name). But it's main use is for formatting. ...

Re: Registering .bib for import with Bookends
What's odd is that Bookends is picked in the Finder's Open With menu for me. I've modified the UTI a bit now, we can follow up off-forum to see if this does the trick for you.

Re: Find all Notecard Tags?
You can search for notecard tags. But there is no central list of what you entered, they are freeform text. Having said that, it should be possible to script this. Basically, search each reference's Notes field and make a list of words that begin with #.

Re: Bookends can't find attachment - but it exists with a slightly different filename. Automatic fix?
I don't know what hybrid approach you have come up with, but you can run Python in an AppleScript using the osascript command. I expect you are aware of this, but if not (and for others reading this) googling for this yields a lot of information. You can also do this via Automator, I believe. Do you...

Re: Registering .bib for import with Bookends
Yes, Bookends registers .bib as a file type it can open. Actually, if I right-click on a .bib file in the Finder and select Open With, Bookends is listed in the hierarchical menu. I'm guessing the problem is with Launch Services, which is the API that associates apps with files. Here's a recent arti...

Re: Bookends can't find attachment - but it exists with a slightly different filename. Automatic fix?
Bookends already has the option to remove (detach) the names of orphaned attachments from the database. This is in Refs -> Global Change. As for getting the names of attachments, you can do that via an AppleScript. You can also create a format that outputs attachments names, if you want something yo...

Re: Bookends can't find attachment - but it exists with a slightly different filename. Automatic fix?
The file name is the "unique id", so if it's off by even a space Bookends won't match it (anymore than a bank will match your credit card number if it's off by a single digit). There is, however, one possibility that might help. Make a COPY of your library (as backup) and try Refs -> Get P...

Please contact tech support directly (support@sonnysoftware.com) with screen snaps of your extraction configuration, including the format and style in which you are exporting, and any other information you think might be pertinent. And experiment a bit, see if it's a problem with a particular PDF or...

Re: Bookends 14.2.9 on MacOS Ventura constantly losing attachements
What are you telling Bookends to do with the PDF when it's attached? Move it to the default folder? Copy it? Or leave it where it is?

Re: Off Topic: Limitations on Using the Orcid ID Feature
That's my understanding as well. But things evolve rapidly in this space, and I expect they'll get better at matching people with ORCID IDs (OpenAlex is rather new - their web interface launched just last month). They are quite responsive in my experience, and I know of at least one person whose ORC...
