Journal glossary export

[Nhaps]

I want to export my journal glossary in a way that preserves punctuation. After importing it from Excel the accents came out wrong.

I solved it just now, by changing the extension to txt. No need for Excel, TextEdit can read it, and so can TextExpander now.

Yes, a journal glossary is just a tab-delimited text file.

It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut for the glossary and other useful features. Any plans to allow us to customize the toolbar?

[Jon]

No, nothing planned.

To come back to the question, what about the other way around, what if I want to import a glossary list into Bookends? By changing the extension it does not seem to work, BE can't see it.

I'll fix that in the next update.

Great! Here is an option I would suggest: If file is 1 tab delimited, replicate abbreviation to Short Name column. Do you have an idea when this next update would be available?

[Jon]

We release updates about every 3-5 weeks. I don't have a date, but reasonably soon.

I'll fix that in the next update.

Talking about Journal Glossaries, I found a typographical error in the Humanities glossary file. The file has "Fró_skaparrit", but it should be "Fróðskaparrit".
