Importing formats

Post by mgymnop »

I apologize when this was asked already 100 times. I am new to Bookends; just switched from EN 20. I want to import the formats from the ftp server. There are two files. I downloaded them and unzipped them. Now I only have to move the formats folders to the corresponding in the hidden bookends folder? I assume the destination folder content will be replaced? Do both files on ftp server contain different formats or is one newer than the other?

Thanks,
Marco

There are many more than 2 files.

But you shouldn't be doing this at all. Trash whatever files/folders you downloaded from the ftp server.

Bookends installs all formats when it is first launched. The ftp server is only for those that may have trashed a format for some reason and want a replacement.

Open Biblio -> Format Manager and you'll see all formats. Check the ones you want access to within the app.
