Force the linked BibTeX file to regenerate?

Post by lyndondrake »

Hi,

The 'Sync Linked BibTeX File' is super useful. I'm amending the included BibTeX.fmt to include such things as the shortjournal field. When I do that, or indeed when I update my Journal Glossary, I want to regenerate the entire linked BibTeX file. But the menu item only updates those references which have been updated since the last sync. That's brilliant most of the time as it is fast. But when the export format has changed, or if the glossary has changed, I want to be able to trigger a regeneration of the whole file. Is that potentially possible?

Best,
Lyndon

Just delete the file; Bookends appears smart enough that if the file disappears then the menu changes and you can create the sync file again...

iandol is right -- delete the sync file and ask Bookends to create a new one.

Perfect, and an obvious idea — in fact I wish I'd thought of trying that :-)
