Bookends for artworks
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2022 8:24 am
Hello all,
I'm an art historian looking for a way to manage artworks and captions.
I already use bookends for references. I'm getting fed up with my current way of storing information about images, and always seem to end up typing captions out by hand on handouts, powerpoints and in publications.
My current plan is to customize the field names for the artwork reference type, use attachments to create thumbnails, and add a citation format to generate captions.
Does anyone out there use Bookends to manage artworks or objects? I'd appreciate hearing what works, what doesn't or if this isn't what Bookends is really for. To be clear, I'm just interested in the text aspect of managing artworks. I have lightroom type program to manage all the images, but it's designed for photographers, not academics, and doesn't anticipate scholarly captions.
Thanks!
