knowing to which group(s) folder(s) a reference belong

Post by isma »

Hi
I was wondering whether there is a way to know to which (smart) folder/group a selected reference belong ?
Best regards,
Isma

Select the reference and then hold down the Shift and Option keys. The group(s) will highlight in yellow.

When I try that, I get the following error
An error has occurred: SQL Error line 1:42: unexpected token: type.

The SQL search you are using for two groups is invalid. For the groups

DOI missing, PMID missing
PMID missing, have DOI

you have an SQL search that specifies the reference Type, like this:

type = 9 AND user17 is NULL AND user18 is NULL

"type" is a reserved word (by the db engine) and must be escaped. Your search generates an error. It should be

[type] = 9 AND user17 is NULL AND user18 is NULL

You can also tell Bookends to show the groups a reference belongs to in the Concise view (in the right pane). In preferences, tick the checkbox next to groups and drag-reorder it to where you want the group names shown in the reference summary.
