There are many new features we are working on. This is not at the top of our list, but it is something we would like to have at some point. It would be helpful if folks who would use "German sorting" explained exactly what they want in detail. For example: 1. Should there be a user-defined...

Rick, Bookends can output the data in almost any form you would care to imagine. In this case, you are using the Printout format, if I'm not mistaken. Instead, use the BibTeX format to output the references. Make sure BibTeX is enabled in the Format Window, and select it from the popup menu when you...

Use the menu option

Edit -> Paste Without Styles (AKA Option-Command-V)

This will do what you want.

Ah, I see. That's because the format we provide just outputs the volume field, without distinguishing between the volume and the issue. If you want their styles to be different, you must edit the format to something like this: a. (d). t. f, v (i), p-. *and* turn OFF "include issue number with v...

I'd be interested to hear what was the outcome here. Was the problem resolved? Yes, it was. The problem was that the import filter was set to use "any valid tag" as the end-of-field delimiter and, mistakenly, it also indicated that the keywords were separated by carriage returns, when in ...

Rick, I tried this URL http://www.istitutocolli.org/uniwakka/BiblioCitation I exported as BibTeX, and in my case (Safari) the references were sent to the screen. I copied some references to the clipboard, switched to Bookends, and Imported References *from the clipboard* using the BibTeX filter. It ...

Hi Rick, You can use either form (i.e. one with a space between the volume and the issue or not). Bookends will delete the space after the volume number if you choose to output it alone. Note that if a format tells Bookends to include the issue number with the volume, it will output exactly what you...

No, I'm afraid not. Sorts are strictly alphanumeric.

That's odd (rebuilding usually works). OK, it's also possible the Bookends Preferences file is damaged. Please remove it and relaunch Bookends (you'll need your serial number handy). What happens if you try to import into a freshly created database? If none of these solutions work, please send your ...

Hi hhit,

It's too simple. :->

Just use the EndNote filter called "EndNote Import".

Hi, Unexpected quits are almost always do to internal database corruption. The universal solution is to File -> Database Maintenance -> Rebuild. First try the Keep User Data option (retains database-specific settings, like field labels, window position, groups, etc.). If that fails (because some set...

I have one that works with MARC records from ADS. If you think that would work for you, please send me an e-mail at the address below and I'll send it to you as an attachment.

Hi John, The example you listed below imports just fine for me using the EBSCOHost ATLA filter we provide. Please contact us at support@sonnysoftware.com and inlcude the file you want to import as an attachment, including the items that don't import correctly, so I can see what the problem is and fi...

Quick followup: I'm back and have had a chance to check. TI and T1 are both acceptable ways of referring to the primary title field (see http://www.refman.com/support/risformat_tags_01.asp ). I have edited the RIS import filter to accept either. This (along with a few other minor changes) will be in...

Hi Greetz,

Thanks for the info. Did you use the latest RIS filer? I seem to recall changing the title tag in the RIS filter to T1 several months ago. I will check when I return from vacation (Aug 24).
