Hi, Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, the humanities are years behind biomedical research in terms of organized literature information on line (thanks to the efforts of the NIH, mostly). I'm afraid there is no unified method for the humanities literature that is analogous. Jon Sonny Software

The WOS filter isn't for Internet Search -- it's for importing files downloaded from WOS.

Filters that are in italics are for Internet Search. Those that aren't won't work for that.

No more cumbersome than "Go to Ref #". Bring up dialog, enter 5 digit number, press OK.

I don't know. Try quit and relaunch.

Unless someone has any suggestions, I think you'll have to contact your library about connection details...

The sequential number is stable as long as you don't delete references. There is no "Go to Unique ID #", but you can do a Find for a reference with a particular unique id.

One thought -- Bookends lets you color-code references, which I would think would be useful here. You can also create static groups that you can add to with Command key shortcuts very easily.

This error is usually fatal. I'd go back to the last backup you have and rebuild that database.

OK. I'll implement this in the next update.

Hi, Be careful with the full medline catalog -- it certainly slows down scanning if you have 5000 or so journals for Bookends to slog through for each reference it formats. I suggest adding the ones you want to Concise Medline by hand. The Get PDF feature was added yesterday. Thanks. Hm I don't unde...

Sure. But I don't like cluttering up Preferences with things for which there isn't much call. That's why I'm trying to gauge people's interest.

How about this -- both? As in

Hi Danny, Yes, it is an ad hoc solution, and automating it actually only adds a small amount of value (you can do the export as BibTeX manually at any time, and it's very easy to do: Biblio -> Send to Disk, Plain Text, BibTeX format). As for working with other developers, of course we're open to tha...

A number of people were asking for this a year or more ago when we discussed better pdf downloads from PubMed. The advantage is that the file carries it's own identifier that follows it whereever it goes. What do other people think?

Jon

Ah, the PubMed search is different. First of all, the file has no name on the server, just a URL location. Second, Bookends names it with the PubMed ID. This is a unique identifier that will let you find the file yourself if you don't want to use Bookends to do it.

Jon

You mean finding/attaching local pdfs (as opposed to downloading from PubMed)? If so, Bookends assumes you are satisfied with the original name and doesn't change it.
