Window focus swapping after import

[SciencePaperReader]

Is there a way to stop bookends from swapping away from the online search window to the library window each time you import an article? I often have a large list of PubMed results that I sort through and having to click back to the online search after each import, while minor once or twice, starts to add a lot of friction when you're going through several hundred abstracts.

Please tell us exactly what you're doing, I don't see this. I do an online search, click import, and the online search window stays in front (and the metadata are imported).

Thanks for following up.

I find this with the following steps:

1. open online search (cmd-shift-W or click the button)
2. enter search terms
3. highlight article of interest
4. click import button at bottom of online search window

The app then swaps to the main library.db window, searches for the reference, and imports it.

It appears the behavior is different between the webpage view and the text only view. If I use the webpage view, I find that the focus does not swap. With the text only view it does--I had not seen the webpage options previously.

I use the text-only view, there is no swap.

For the sake of anyone else who may run into this, I found that turning off automatic PDF download fixed the window swapping issue for me.

It would be a simple matter for me to have Bookends bring the online search window back to the front after the PDF import. Is that something that you and others would like?
